Bad Bad Bad!!!
Location was good because I wanted a room near Gare Lyon Part Dieu but that was it.
No A/C made it sleeping impossible and the room was filthy it needs a complete refurbishment.
Free Wired internet worked once. No wi-fi in the room only in the lobby.
Dont waste your money here - check Ibis round the corner it looked ok from the outside.

The Hotel is very old but rates are similar to other in Lyon. Even though the system is the same as in other hotel of the Citadines chain there are some aspects that are not good, expecially for the French 3 stars category: very old and unconfortable beds, a very small breakfast, the time when reception is open (some friends arrived late in the night and they had serious problems to get the key of the room), a not good Internet access.

Although we found the place relatively easily (lucky guess), the best strategy is to park somewhere near Rue Moncey and walk to reception as its not easily seen from the streets. There is a car park underneath the premises. Double beds are not readily available for smaller rooms, this place is probably more suited to business travellers on short stop overs rather than tourists but we found it OK for a place to stay at short notice.

Works well for a stay while travelling in the Provence area and on to Paris because it has a metro station nearby, a laundry facility in the hotel (dryers not long enough time) and a kitchenette to allow you some time to get off the fixed price restaurant menu. Not a great place if it is your first intro to France as it has little in the way of ambience, but overall and good location..not in the old town.
