Cari Hotel 3-Star di Lyon

Once we found it. We really liked the hotel. There is no real facilities per se but there is a laundry and one very close outside. Breakfast is basic but there are cafes close by. The staff are pleasant and professional. Obviously not the Ritz but we enjoyed our days there.

The three reception staff were extremely kind and welcoming, which really made a difference. The location is perfect — directly in front of the train station. Despite that, the hotel is very quiet. The room was spacious, comfortable, and pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

Staying in this hotel was quite a miserable experience, barely adequate for a hostel, never mind a 3 star establishment. The room (although quite clean) was tiny for our party of two. The luggage occupied almost half of the floor, making us jump over it when we needed to move across the room. The window was facing the railway, which was expected on the one hand, but sleeping with it open was very noisy in the morning. Here is the list of things that were missing compared to a standard hotel experience: - no kettle (had to be asked for) - just two paper/plastic cups in the bathroom, no ceramic mugs in the room - no tea, coffee or anything really to have a snack with - no safe in the room (common one at the reception) - no fridge (seriously?) - no slippers (and they don’t provide them) - no towel heaters or radiators in the room - just 3 towels for two people, no hand towels - no bath robes - no bide or hygienic shower - no toilet brush (are you for real?) - one trash can (without a bag) - extremely small rooms, no adequate space for two luggage bags On the positive side, the breakfast was decent, though nothing to write home about. Hot and protein-rich options were definitely limited. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, upon check-in, I was charged 60EUR as a damage deposit which was not stated when I booked a room. I’m yet to have it returned. The hotel/network drives this alleged “eco-friendly” agenda but in reality it’s just extreme economy and penny-pinching at the guests’ expense. Very disappointing. 1/5.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the hotel. In particular, I think its location is probably the best you can get in Lyon for a short stay. I also believe it was a very good choice in terms of price-performance. Of course, you can pay much higher rates to stay at more luxurious hotels, but this one more than meets all the essential needs. The welcome was always warm and friendly. The hotel entrance was very beautiful. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the bed was also excellent and perfectly clean.  I also truly appreciated the hotel’s commitment to reducing plastic use and protecting the environment. It meant a lot to me and made me really happy to see this.  I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

We booked it because there’s heatwave so we need a room with aircon. The hotel is about 10 mins walk away from the metro. It is located in a neighborhood with a lot of local shops and restaurants. There’s a good bakery and big Carrefour supermarket just downstairs. There’s hotel is stylish and chic tmi but it smells so good. Just that the room is above the street so it could be noisy when cars drove by. And there’s no fridge in our room. Would recommend though

The location is good in the sense that it is close to the tram station. Unfortunately, there were a few homeless tents set up directly under the bridge between the tram station and the hotel, and we had to walk past them to get to the hotel. That part felt a bit unsafe. However, aside from the homeless tents located directly under the bridge, the surrounding area was very clean, and we didn’t see any graffiti at all. The bridge area was really the only part that felt uncomfortable. When we arrived around 1:00 PM, no one was at the front desk. There was a sign saying the staff member was in the breakfast area, but there was no indication of where that was. A phone number was provided, but no one answered when we called. We understood that check-in wasn’t until later, but we simply wanted to leave our luggage so we could start exploring the city. After waiting about 20 minutes, a staff member finally arrived and informed us that our room would not be ready until 5:00 PM, even though the stated check-in time is 3:00 PM. We came back around 6:00 PM to check in, and the ladies assisting us were really nice and welcoming, which helped improve the overall experience. We rented this place with another family, and they were able to place us on the same floor next to each other, which was super awesome and very much appreciated. Once we were checked in, we did like the hotel. We requested that the sofa be converted into a bed for our girls, and this was done promptly, which we really appreciated. We stayed for only two nights, and there was no housekeeping service during our stay. It’s unclear whether housekeeping would be provided for longer stays. We were expected to take out our own trash and keep the kitchen area clean. While I understand washing dishes and cleaning up after ourselves, having to dispose of trash ourselves was inconvenient and should have been clearly communicated on the website. It was also odd that guests are expected to clean, yet dish soap and sponges are not provided unless you specifically ask for them. Overall, I wouldn’t consider this an aparthotel, as it lacks many services typically provided by a hotel. It feels more like a furnished apartment rather than a hotel-style accommodation. That said, we paid less than $100 USD per night during New Year’s Eve, which is excellent pricing. I would stay here again for the price and the level of service provided, but it would be helpful if the self-service expectations and the surrounding walking conditions were clearly communicated beforehand—for guests who may be willing to pay more for less work or for those who are not comfortable walking past the homeless area.

It’s about a 5-minute walk from Lyon Train Station, and you can take a bus directly into Lyon city to explore. We arrived at the hotel early and were able to leave our luggage there before check-in, which was very convenient. Water was not provided, but there’s a kitchen with appliances available if you’d like to cook, and there’s also a supermarket nearby. The amenities felt a little old, and the room was slightly stuffy despite having air conditioning. The hallway is scary without lights 😦

My stay here was pleasant overall. The location is incredibly convenient with easy access to the T1 and T2 tram lines as well as Lyon-Perrache station. There are also plenty of good restaurants and cafés nearby. I stayed in the single room, clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the standard hotel amenities. The only issue I encountered was with the room door. It didn't fit properly in the frame so I had to pull or push it quite hard to get it to close completely. It seemed to be a recurring problem because there were visible marks on the wall from other guests having to do the same.

Well priced and in a convenient location. The staff were super friendly, check in was easy and the room was clean. Internet was stable. Very happy ☺️

Struttura facilmente raggiungibile, camera pulita e ordinata. Personale disponibile e accogliente. Colazione ottima e abbondante. Tornerò sicuramente.
