Second time I've stayed here - the location so convenient. When booking over the telephone I requested not to have one of the rooms over the tram, but when given the key realised it was - they were happy to change it (did have the note of my request). No dinner at hotel, but they suggested a restaurant in the... More

Very convenient for working at Espace Tete D'Or, approx 2 minute walk. Rooms good size, bed very comfortable, good large bath towels. That said. there were all sorts of things which just missed being right. It is annoying to find the restaurant closed on the Friday and Saturday nights - and to find something to eat you have to walk... More

Stayed at the Hotel des Congres for a business trip for a night in November 2012. Nice room with a good bed, LCD TV, safe, fridge, free wifi and very helpful English speaking staff. Now the bad points: The food is very average at the Mix City restaurant which is not exactly in the hotel, the hotel looks like a... More

Arrived via the back door as it was not altogether clear where the entrance is if you are coming from the tram stop - this area is a bit of 60's architect's wonderful dream of the future - i.e. a lot of reinforced concrete! Once in, I was a bit worried about what I had let myself in for, as... More

We stayed here 3 nights - the hotel was recommended and chosen because it was within walking distance of the Centre of Congres at which I was attending a conference. The room and bathroom was a good size with plenty of storage space. Free wifi which was great! Staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to pay extra to... More

The location is good if you are there for a conference. The Tram is only a five minute walk away and will get you into the centre. The area directly surrounding the hotel is a bit strange, a little shabby but okay, many appartment buildings and a weird maze-like shopping area. There is a convenient grocery store right beside the... More

I only spent one night in this hotel on a business trip. Was unlucky to get a room close to the elevators, but overall my stay was fine, and I found the staff to be quite helpful. The location is excellent if you're coming to Lyon / Villeurbanne to visit the university campus which is just 10 minutes walk from... More

Very grim, shabby hotel in a fairly run down area of Lyon. Whilst close to the convention centre it was quite a way out of Lyon. Take a look at my photos - they say it all really. All in all, quite depressing.
