It smelled cigarette (very very badly) in our room, it did not look dirty but not clean either. Towels were torn appart. It took 20 minutes to get hot water from the tap. Wifi doesn’t work well and crahes all the time. The breakfasts however were worth it and the room was quiet.

Great welcome and super friendly staff!
I stayed 2 nights on business. All the staff were super helpful, very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable but could perhaps do with some upgrading. It would have been good if the hotel sold cold drinks as I had to go out after finishing work at c 21:00 and Villeurbanne did not feel terribly safe.

Nice location. But, bad service in terms of net
The hotel is located in nice region. The metro is just 5 min by walking gratt ciel station. However, the net is bad and slow. The room is clod. I think the condionnig system should be added in the rooms.

Not to bad a hotel - but with great staff!
Reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. Please note that parking is height restricted - only 185 max. I was able to park outside the hotel but this is not protocol. Room itself was ok - nothing amazing so I am not sure what a normal room was like as mine was meant to be superior! Couldnt seem to control the heating in the room. All in all not a bad hotel and I would stay there again if I was in the area.

The hotel was handy for the metro for getting about and reasonably priced given the Festival of Lights being on the same weekend we were there. Staff were friendly & helpful. The room was clean but could have done with an easier to open window or air conditioning as the room was very warm. Great spot to stay when in town for the rugby, would recommend it as a place to stay.

Nice hotel but smokey.
Great location (3 minutes walk from the Metro stop Gratte Ciel). Staff were very pleasant. Hotel was very clean but the whole place smelt very smokey.
