Very basic accommodation. Only chose if you have to be at Gare de Lyon at the crack of dawn for a train trip to somewhere else....staff nice, but rooms very basic. I'm not complaining about the rooms, you get what you pay for...but a couple of points need to be mentioned. I shudder to think how anyone with a mobility... More

I stayed for one night, got off the train from gare de Lyon, literally a 1 minute walk. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money. the metro station is right outside hotel doors. Even though the hotel is on a very busy road, I could not hear the traffic with the windows closed. Will be staying here again... More

My Wife and I were on honeymoon and were surprised by how nice this little hotel was! Very well situated, main station was literally accross the road(Gare de lyon) and grocery store just outside the hotel. The room was small, but really clean and comfortable. Even though on a main road, we didnt hear a sound!! The small lift was... More

I chose this hotel mainly because it's near to Gare de Lyon and not too expensive (relatively speaking of course). It is a small hotel, although my room size is acceptable. The bathroom is a bit dated. There is a street light outside my window which is too bright at night. It wasn't noisy though. Overall there is nothing special... More

The hotel is very convenient for the Metro, Gare de Lyon main railway station and Air France Bus to CDG airport. In Paris the cheaper hotel rooms do tend to be small and this was the case here. In my experience as a single traveller it was well worth paying a little more for a double room Breakfast is available... More

We needed a cheap overnight stay in Paris near the Gare du Lyon railway station. we chose the Helvetia as it was considerably cheaper than the surrounding hotels. The hotel was pretty much what we expected,a small very basic room in need of a paint job but with a surprisingly good shower. The staff were very helpful and spoke quite... More

We had an early start from Gare de Lyon so selected this hotel which did not have much going for it save a competent front desk staff. It's literally a block from train station which is very convenient. The rooms were pretty tired looking, but the price was very reasonable.

We told you we were bringing our dog & confirmed with hotel. Neither of you told us they did not accept dogs & the hotel said they said on web site no dogs so did not have to take us. Not very imnpressed with you. Refund please.

I spent three wonderful days in this simple but cosy hotel. I had the largest room(perfectly clean as well as the toilet) ever had in Paris,even with a balcony,a good lift,a friendly reception and quiet nights with no noise whatever.... The metro is just outside the hotel , the wonderful gare de Lyon round the corner,and a supermarket open 24... More
