This hotel is located near the train, the mall, and all the bus stops to get you where you need to go. The a/c worked perfectly and the bed was big and comfortable. The kitchenette also had all the major appliances needed to cook.
The only down side was that cleaning services is only once a week but they didn’t stock the room with enough coffee pods or toilet paper for that long. Probably would’ve given more if we asked though.
Overall, would definitely stay again!

I booked this hotel specifically for location, comfort and air conditioning. When I arrived it was warm/hot. When I noticed the air conditioning didn’t work I went to reception I see what I was doing wrong. It turned out that the air conditioning doesn’t work until mid May. I was there the first week in May. The location was great if you are taking the train. The rooms were clean. The amenities such as soap and shampoo were minimal.

La propreté est de base et on tourne les coins ronds. En effet, les bas de murs et coins de planchers sont sales et noircies.

I’ve been traveling for 47 years, staying in hotels across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. I’ve experienced budget stays and five-star resorts. But nothing — absolutely nothing — prepared me for the nightmare that was Residhotel in Lyon, France (booked through Orbitz, which I use frequently).

We were traveling through the EU and needed a quick overnight stop in Lyon before heading to Paris. We booked two rooms — one for my wife and me, and one for my daughter and son-in-law traveling with us. This will go down as the single worst place we have ever stayed. Here’s why:
1.Air conditioning didn’t work in either room — in the middle of summer.
2.The property looks and feels like it’s stuck in the early 1990s, without any charm — just pure neglect.
3.The toilet rooms were humid, hot, filthy, and reeked of urine.
4.The entire place smelled faintly of roach spray, as if pests were an ongoing problem.
5.Carpets looked like they were straight out of the late 1980s — stained, worn, and beyond saving.
6.Cigarette burns on the couches.
7.Pieces of the shower fixtures were literally falling off.
8.Electrical panel switches were loose and hanging — a safety hazard.
9.Toilet bowls were permanently yellowed and disgusting.
10.The furniture arrangement made no sense and looked thrown together from a junk shop.
11.Tiny, outdated televisions with no internet connection.
12.One of our rooms was not even cleaned when we walked in — unmade bed, dirty bathroom, tras

Worst property I ever stayed at

This was the worst stay I ever had, the property was shocking, rude staff, no willingness to help or resolve issues.
When raising the issue with air conditioning multiple times, I was simply told that there was no solution and I could \"stay there and wait for a Manager for hours if I wanted\" as no one was available to help me further.
This is the worst experience I've ever had and would not recommend staying there.

Hotel was better than expected given the recent reviews. It wasn't pristinely clean, but it was satisfactory. The hotel appeared understaffed as we had to wait ~30 minutes to get to our room after the check-in time, however they were apologetic about this and it was not too much of a bother for us. The hotel felt safe as it required a room key or being buzzed in to get into the lobby. Very convenient for transportation to and from Lyon Part Dieu Station. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and comfort of the bed and pullout couch. Staff was friendly.

Checkin was alright. Basic functional rooms with a lot of visible wear and tear marks everywhere. Definitely need a deep cleaning.
When we came back to the room at 10 pm, we discovered no hot water in the taps/shower. The receptionist(Sarah) told me to check the circuit breakers and then discovered that the boiler controller was switched off. She came to the room, switched it on and left. After waiting for 10-15 mins, I called her again and she told us to wait an hour to get hot water. That means no shower till 11 pm!! When I asked her why hot water wasn’t checked before allocating the room, she started giving reasons like the boiler was programmed to run three times a day, the previous customer used all hot water, housekeeping are not supposed to check hot water,etc. On questioning why I wasn’t provided that information at the check in, she accused me of doing drama over hot water. Finally she provide another room and I had to go and check if hot water was in there.
So definitely a rude and unprofessional receptionist made my stay not great.
No air con, had to leave the windows open all night. it was so noisy outside. Barely slept.
Definitely avoidable hotel

We had booked this property for one night due to a travel mishap and needed to take a rest for the night. However, once we entered our room, we were met with stains on walls, bedding, countertops, and curtains. We slept on top of the bed and were careful not to get under the sheets due to numerous stains we saw on the bedding. We then woke up to several bug bite marks all over our body and the feeling of bugs crawling on us. We got out as soon as possible in the morning. In addition, the room smelled rancid as soon as we walked in. It was like a combination of old food and cigarette smoke. While the front desk staff were kind, we would highly caution any travelers, even those on budget from staying here. All stains, marks, etc have been documented as well in case there is a dispute.

This was a very basic apartment close to the Train station. The aircon worked well, which is rare for France. Unfortunately the floor was quite dirty and the coffee pod machine hadn't been cleaned since last use and smelled terrible. There is a frustrating trip hazard going into bathroom but at least the toilet is separate.
There was a surcharge to use the laundry room (dryer wasn't working), a surcharge for coffee pods supplied in room and a surcharge for cleaning kitchenette (ie when you checkout and they clean the rest of the apartment it doesn't include the kitchenette, you have to clean that yourself)
