B&B Home Lyon Centre Berthelot

Our room was small, but it had what we needed for a short visit, and the price felt fair for the amenities. The hotel is basic, with paid parking available if you want a guaranteed space. There’s also a nearby tramway that goes to an important station. A couple of restaurants are close by; we didn’t try them, but they could be a last resort.

I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel is farther from town than I expected, and there’s nothing nearby, including decent cafés or restaurants. After work hours it’s unstaffed, which felt unsafe, and they charge 25€ if you need help in an emergency. The place was old and dirty during my two-night stay. The room had chipped paint, and water pipes and mechanical sounds carried on through the night. Even the lighting felt more like a hospital than a hotel. The dark halls, torn wallpaper, and flashing lights made them look straight out of a horror movie. Really, just don’t come here. I can’t understand how anyone could give it more than one star.

The apartment felt cozy and very nice, and getting around was easy since transport is close by. Staff were polite and helpful. The SPA was another thing that made the stay more comfortable.

The garage is secure, but reaching it isn’t the easiest: it’s in an underground car park with two levels. The studio itself is self-contained and well equipped, with a comfortable bed and good soundproofing, so I slept quietly. Arriving at night on a busy one-way street, it’s easy to miss the hotel because there’s no obvious illuminated sign.
