Lyon is a city where we'll come back, to say we liked it very much; this time we stayed one night coming from a long trip in Normandy.
The hotel: staff definitely kind, no expection, fare was quite cheap, but some drawbacks with the organisation, as we were sure to have parking inside for our car; it was actually full but the staff solved it, they were kind enough to find a place for us inside it.
Structure is not new, we were in a mezzanine, quite dark as the small window was in front of, and very close to, another buildng: be sure to have a different arrangement if you stay some more days.
Position is at a border: one way and you are near the city center at 1km or less, near the river; the other way and... people seems to be not so friendly (the staff adviced us to avoid it by night, on our question).
Overall, it was good for our specific need.
