Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the hotel's location by the Rhone river, which makes it easy to walk to the city center and the Part Dieu train station. Many have enjoyed rooms with balconies offering views of the river and landmarks like the Grand Hotel Dieu. Some guests have noted that noise isolation between rooms could be improved. However, others were upgraded to suites featuring multiple balconies and ample space, sometimes including bunk beds, which is especially appreciated by families.
