A decent budget hotel which suited us as close to the station. 30 minute walk to get to the central area but not a problem if reasonably fit. Quiet and safe location with no traffic noise of any consequence.

Very disappointing for a 4* hotel
Upon seeing the room I was very surprised that this was a 4* hotel. We had booked a room with a king size bed and a sofa bed. Despite confirming that the sofa bed had been made up with clean linen when we checked in, it had not - instead it smelt unaired and obviously slept in. Additionally the waste bin in the room was so dirty they had to take it away when we showed it to staff (but they did not provide a replacement). The kindest way to describe the decor/fixings is ‘tired’, the room also smelt damp and of stale cigarettes - as did any clothes left in the wardrobe. We also had to get the key card recoded several times as we would return to the room to find it didn’t work. We went out for dinner one evening and returned about 11.45pm to find the hotel closed and locked. Then spent 10 minutes ringing the buzzer, before having to phone them to request they let us in. However, I can confirm the buffet breakfast was very good.

Pros: parking available, not far from the center (3 tram stops). Cons: limited dining options (on reservation during the week, none on weekend, not room service), the staff at the reception (a trainee) was also in charge of the bar, and was overwhelmed.

Well located
This hotel is close to the train station but not enough so that the noise can be a problem. There is a team stop more or less in front which will take you within 10-15 minutes to Place de la Bourse. Being in the older part of town not far from the train station, I felt uneasy at times in the evening. There was no noise in the room, it had a sofa and essentials for morning coffee. I did not try the breakfast because it was too expensive (I felt 18,50€ was a bit much). There aren’t cafés close by so you will have to get some downtown, at the train station or grab croissants and eat in your room. A beautiful city and this location is great to explore from. The entrance is welcoming with lots of space to relax. Check in was good. I would recommend and stay here again.
