My sister and I only stayed for two nights. The hotel room was small but functional, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is situated in an ideal location. It was busy so we both felt safe to have wander about the area. There are lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from also the metro was really close to the hotel but unfortunately due to the language barrier and not knowing Paris very well we didn't use it. We didn't feel confident enough so we used Uber instead. We were quite happy with our stay.

We had a very clean room. We did not use the breakfast room. It would have been nice if the room attendant paid attention to the fact that both garbage bins were full of kleenx and we were in need of more as we both had colds.
Upon booking a taxi to the airport at the desk we were not told the additional cost that hotel takes for a kickback!

Shower was in a bathtub. The side of the bathtub was exceptionally high. The bottom of the bathtub sloped and its surface was very slippery. I am very tall and accustomed to things that are high but the combination of the height and the slippery surface made me decide not even to try using it. So, I had no shower.

Noisy

Arrival was good - staff got me checked in very quickly. The reception area is very busy as they run that and an upstairs area as a co-working space.
Rooms are small, but clean. Beds could benefit from a choice of pillows rather than 4 of the same.
Bar closes at 10.30pm and no room service after this time so bring snacks if arriving late.
Breakfast was a good selection.
Rooms are noisy - the water pipes seem to make the cry of a whale anytime anyone turns them on which is not great in the middle of the night. There is construction over the road which starts at 7am and the trains / metro start early so you get the noise of the trains as well as the people going to the station.
I couldnt get my window to open and the aircon didnt seem to work - the dial just turned around and around which made it a hot night..

The hotel is in a perfect location easy to move around to anywhere in the city with multiple metro-train and bus lines.
It is right outside the Gare De Lyon station, not the cleanest area, but overall safe.
The only point I would make is regarding starring the luggage before or after you staying. We arrived an hour earlier and to storage two small luggage’s they charge €5. You put the luggage in a locker and get a ticket, but the locker will not refund the five euros when you remove your luggage.
Breakfast was good, with a variety of options

Location is good. Attached to the Gare de Lyon so we were able to arrive on a late train and go straight to the hotel.
The staff was not friendly. The sheets were scratchy (I slept on a sweatshirt) and uncomfortable. The view was the top of the roof with a pile of detritus from a construction project. Not very welcoming in any way. Also the night clerk said breakfast was included, the morning clerk said it was not. Won’t plan to go back. There are so many better places in Paris!

We stayed for three nights. I’ll start with negative.
- the airconditioning was not working for two nights. we were told that they turn off the system during colder season.

Positive:
- The reception clerk Mr. Rafael gave us an electric fan. Thank you.
- Reception manager Miss Alice, gave us a compensation by allowing late check out. Thank you.
- The following afternoon, both Mr. Rafael and Miss Alice knocked on our room and provided us with a box of cookies, were very apologetic about the inconvenience. These are the kind of staff that Accor should cherish. Thank you.

Very nice hotel right next to Gare du Lyon station. Room was very good. Mine looked out onto the roof of the station, and with the window open I could hear the SNCF chimes and the station announcements. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I really liked this.

Generally the hotel was convenient for lots of things, and there was an array of cafes, shops and restaurants nearby. I went for a run along the Coulee Verte - which was a raised railway line now turned into a linear park - which starts very close. Due to the proximity of the station, transport links are excellent.

Nice hotel near Lyon

A good hotel right next to the Gare de Lyon. The room was small, which is typically like all budget hotels in Paris!

I liked the fact that the room had a bath tub and arrangement to make tea or coffee.

They didn't have any UK plug socket in the room, though they had some very slow and fiddly USB chargers. The reception gave me an adaptor but had to pay a €20 security deposit for it. Not a big deal. But what should it is, it was two apaptors to convert it to UK! So I couldn't use it, as it would fall off the wall socket due to the length and weight.

The hotel is close to one of the main train stations, both metro, regional and high-speed trains. There many varieties for breakfast, the best tasting is their croissant. More selection of coffees/teas/juices and milk/yogurt and cereals. They have assorted cheese, salads, cold cuts, boiled/scrambled eggs, pastries and breads, warmed/cooked food such as sausages/potatoes/veggies/bacons to a name a few.

The room is small but 2 medium luggages can be accommodated. The toilets are clean, with basic Toiletries but no slippers. They have free water for 2 and get refilled daily.

Though its nearby road and train stations, it was quiet. Heating is enough and you can control to as high temperature if needed (30c)

What I dont like is that, you need pay for the storage for your luggage. €8 for large storage (can fit 2 medium size), €4 (can fit 1 small luggage and backpack).

I would definitely come back on my next visit to Paris, even though not taking speed trains. (Just a little FYI, they don’t keep luggage for free. You need to pay several euros to use their lockers if you don’t have a room yet when you arrive at the property or you have to come back after checkout)

noisy area

The area feels barely safe for tourists - there are military guards circulating the area and the railroad station and many migrants and beggars are trying to talk to you about one thing or another. The hotel was clean the staff was ok but the room was super small with no storage space - Luckily I was only there for only 2 nights as there would be no space for my luggage or clothing -- the bathroom had been updated and there was no issue other than the noise of the street with the constant taxi rivers honking their horn or the police/ambulances interfering in some street activity - not a restful night (ever)
