Great value! Clean, modern, reasonably priced
The hotel was just what we needed. Room was clean modern with all the amenities. They had storage for our bikes. Hotel is located near convention centre with several modern restaurants. The hotel is located on the river and we walked into the downtown core on the walking paths along the river, about 4km. Very pleasant. We would return to this hotel. Only issue was that checkout was slow.

Good for the business traveller
The bus is extremely efficient to and from the hotel and a much cheaper option than a taxi. From Lyon Part-Dieu (railway station) get the C1 in direction Cite International - the hotel is at the end of the line and is only 1 euro 60 versus 13 euros in a taxi
