I was a bit disappointed when I first went in, since the pictures is much nicer than actual place. The first room, there might be a sign of bed bug, for the mattress was yellow with black dot. But the stuff there is nice and he give me another good, which is clean.
The room is small, simple, where too simple there not even hair dryer.

The hotel was offering a room with a double and a bunk bed when actually our booking stated a double and a twin bed. We spent nearly 3-4 hours sorting out the issue and the Manager on duty was not at all helpful or cooperative. I had to escalate the issue to Hotels.com (Expedia group) to resolve the issue. Please stay away from this hotel as they will advertise a particular room type and then offer you a degraded / smaller room.

Maybe ok for one night. The reality is not truly what the pictures show. I was somewhat disappointed with the experience. Cleaning is an issue, particularly in the bathroom. Lacking some amenities; apart from two people I interacted with at reception, who were super nice, everyone else were clearly not happy to be working there. The gentleman at check out was indifferent. Sadly, I am not staying here again if I have a choice.

Rooms are clean, breakfast service is excellent. One female staff is particularly helpful at the reception desk, another female staff was ok. But two male staff were not that excellent. One was a bit cold but still helpful but the other one of African descent wearing glasses was kind of devious trying to “con” me into staying a tiny bedroom even after I have paid for the change of the hotel room online already.

Room was ok. I had a view over the rooftops to the cathedral in the old town which was nice. Cheaper than many in that area of Lyon and close to train station, which I wanted. It was in need of a makeover though. No nice touches in the room, just very rudimentary. The sheets didn’t really fit the mattress. Tge shower door and shower head needed fixing.

The bed was comfortable for a decent sleep. It was nice to have a window that opened, we could not figure out how to get the AC unit to blow cold air. Overall, decent hotel for the price.

Not great

We checked in in the evening no problems. We had a family comfort room. The room was tiny with a bunk bed for my 10 year old. You can barely move so I do not know which part we meant to be comfort? The bathroom was a good size but there was mold on the ceiling and around the shower. The shower door was not done properly so the showroom flooded every time we had a shower. Floor was dusty - needs a mop. Parking was good though! Although €14 for 13 hours is ridiculous. It was only a stop over so not massively upset but if I had to spend any more time I defo would be.

Room was small, but clean and quiet. Common areas (reception, elevators, hallways) are dirty and feel unsafe. I kept a chair in front of the door at night as a precaution. Restaurant next door for breakfast was excellent and friendly. Neighborhood is gritty and very urban; homeless people, feces, stink of urine. Location close to central train station offered convenience. Bottom line: cheap but safety was concerning.

I stayed here with my family and we booked two rooms. It’s true that it’s a budget hotel, but the rooms are extremely small and poorly maintained both the bathrooms and the rooms themselves. At least they were clean. However, the common areas looked dirty and had an unpleasant smell. The surrounding area isn’t very appealing either, although the location is convenient due to its proximity to the train station. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, especially not for families or those traveling with young children. Overall, I simply wouldn’t recommend it.

Very modern hotel located very close to the main rail station. Very quiet rooms and rather large for europe in general. Staff were super helpful.

The only downside, and I wouldnt say its a negative for the hotel itself, is the lack of restaurants near it, especially ones that offer breakfast compared to \"La confluance\" etc. But that justs more incentive to explore the city! The offered breakfast is worth the convenience and price though.

I recently stayed at Premiere Classein Lyon and was pleasantly surprised by how great it was for a budget hotel. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. The room was simple but well-maintained, with a comfy bed and all the essentials.

The location was fantastic—close to public transport and within easy reach of the main attractions, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Despite being budget-friendly, the hotel didn’t compromise on service; the staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist.

It’s an excellent option if you’re looking for an affordable yet comfortable place to stay in Lyon. Ideal for a few nights, and I’d definitely stay here again!

Convenient stay in new town part of Lyon

Excellent location near the train station (less than 10 minutes walk) and close to eateries and convenience stores (across the street). Room was clean, albeit tight, with a comfortable bed. It is a bit of a walk (about 30 minutes) to Place Bellecour and Vieux Lyon in old town, the main sightsee areas, but close to a Metro stop at Garibaldi or bus stops. All in all, a pleasant stay.

On the whole it was a lovely hotel, my only real complaint was lack of fresh air. The wind was a tilt and turn window and had a note saying there was a opening limit as is common in all multi story hotels. However our window catch was broken so they had screwed the window shut. It meant the room was very stuffy. It would cost about £10 for a new window catch and takes about 10 minutes to change. Screwing the window shut is not the right thing to do. The whole window unit would now need to be changed.

Expedia needs to actually see and know the properties they recommend. The website pictures were VERY deceiving! The room was tiny, barely 18 inch clearance around all sides of a queen size bed! No place to put your luggage. The bathroom was tiny - probably the smallest sink we had ever seen. There was nothing special about this property- no coffee set up in the room - nothing but a vending machine in the lobby and a suggested restaurant next door. We got a small bottle of champagne when we checked in but no glasses to drink from! The hallway, as part of an energy savings were pitch black, you had to exit the elevator into the dark to get the lights to switch on but no instructions or warning - the elevator opened to total darkness. It’s an old run down looking place that needs to be updated especially for the for the price they charged - €232.33 Thankfully we only stayed a single night. VERY disappointed.

Loved the proximity to Gare de Lyon Part Dieu, the Mall and the food market, etc think a 5-10 minute walk once you know where you're going we arrived late on a very rainy night and exited the station the wrong way confused by the construction but no hassle at all. We are not fussy travelers we were having a basic trip so I guess price matches nothing to compare as first to France. Room was basic but appeared clean enough, sapart from the clothes hangars covered in dust literally had to wash the dust off but again not an issue we weren't staying long and I only wanted it because we had gotten wet on the way otherwise wouldn't have noticed. We were not expecting a wetroom so that threw us a bit and and the lighting not so bright so I felt a little weary but I am 'that person' about clean bathrooms so was weary but we have long left and both ok so must have been ok really. Clean sheets and towels. Don't forget to move the tissue before taking a shower, oops. Can't comment on facilities as we were literally out at the crack of dawn and not back till really late at nights so just a place to rest our heads and shower and it was ok.

Stay in Lyon

Great location walking distance from the train station approx 15 minutes. There was also a regular bus that came every 4-7 minutes to the train station if you didn’t want to walk. There were bikes outside the hotel that you could hire which we enjoyed and went to visit the zoo. There was a lot of restaurants and food choices close by to the hotel we went to a taco bar which is definitely worth the visit the portions were huge.

Within the hotel there was also a vending machine for hot and cold drinks as well as sandwiches and pasta. There was a microwave that you could use too if you needed to heat something up.

There was no kettle within the room which was a tad disappointing but we survived as there was a coffee machine downstairs.

The breakfast was nice you were provided with an option of a croissant or a pain au chocolate upon entry, with toast and yogurts. There wasn’t any options of fruit apart from apples, there was Tropicana and hot drinks. It would have been nice to have the option of more pastries rather than just the one.
