Café du Pond sur Lyon

01/04/2024: Tiny and dilapidated room, uncomfortable bedding. No light, having to turn on the light even in broad daylight to see. The window is only equipped with a large blackout curtain, so you end up in the night if you want a minimum of privacy (important opposite) (and I'm not talking about the huge disgusting grease stain on this curtain)... Bathroom more than cramped and very dilapidated (old linoleum on the floor), leaking shower cubicle (the bath mat turns into a mop after each shower...), yellowish grout... Stifling heat in the room (despite the heating being turned off), we were forced to sleep with the window open to get a minimum of air, but the trees in front of the hotel rooms are populated by crows which make a terrible noise until at nightfall and from 5 a.m.... So we had to choose between being woken up by crows or dying from the heat... A positive point however for the very welcoming staff and the breakfast buffet which is very well supplied. The reception room stands out from the rest of the hotel as it is very clean and modern. The lady who takes care of the buffet is adorable, thank you for her kindness and welcome.

01/04/2024: Hotel located 12 minutes from Part Dieu train station. Welcoming staff, very clean and quiet hotel, restaurant on site.
