Greet Hotel Lyon Confluence

“Location iffy, but doable”

The hotel is located right by the train station. That’s great, if your taking the train, not so great if you aren’t. Lots of shady looking characters around! The hotel itself is kind of beat up, with a small wonky elevator, but the room was fine. Typical hard European bed, but otherwise it was fi… lisää

The hotel is located right by the train station. That’s great, if your taking the train, not so great if you aren’t. Lots of shady looking characters around! The hotel itself is kind of beat up, with a small wonky elevator, but the room was fine. Typical hard European bed, but otherwise it was fine. Although the close by train station is a bother, you have to walk through it to get to the part of Lyon you come to see, although the walk gives you chance to see parts of the city you otherwise wouldn’t experience. Right next door is the historic and excellent restaurant, Brasserie Georges, which is a place you don’t want to miss. Make a reservation, otherwise you’re waiting in line with the rest of the tourists that didn’t plan ahead. The restaurant located at the base of the hotel, Mademoiselle Simone, is excellent, with live jazz to accompany your meal.

“Less trend more service needed”

This hotel is trying so hard to be trendy it forgets it's a hotel and so misses basic things. The check-in desk is just a table in the lobby with a laptop and one member of staff. The trendy comes from the decor, like the credit card machine disguised in an old phone. But with a single check in poi… lisää

This hotel is trying so hard to be trendy it forgets it's a hotel and so misses basic things. The check-in desk is just a table in the lobby with a laptop and one member of staff. The trendy comes from the decor, like the credit card machine disguised in an old phone. But with a single check in point, when there's ten people to check in it takes an age and the space means there's zero privacy when you're handing your personal details over. The rooms again go for trendy rather than comfort with no way to turn the strip light above the bed and bathroom off unless you remove your card, turning the air con off. Not ideal in 32 degrees. The breakfast was nice and beds comfortable. But I think a return to basics of good hotel service is needed.

“Could be better so be aware”

Staff were very nice and welcoming. The room was ok. Very basic breakfast, they run out of food and we never got to the dining area late. Handy location to walk through the park and then into the city centre, where you can explore the high end shops and great food markets. Tram station 5 minute … lisää

Handy location to walk through the park and then into the city centre, where you can explore the high end shops and great food markets. Tram station 5 minute walk that can take you over to some of the sites and business area.

“Ok on a budget.”

We have just spent 4 nights at the Greet Hotel. The hotel is definitely at the budget end of the scale even though I wouldn't call the prices cheap. The staff are really nice, speak English, and are helpful. The bed was really comfortable. This saved it from getting even less stars. The bathroom i… lisää

We have just spent 4 nights at the Greet Hotel. The hotel is definitely at the budget end of the scale even though I wouldn't call the prices cheap. The staff are really nice, speak English, and are helpful. The bed was really comfortable. This saved it from getting even less stars. The bathroom is very tiny. The wash basin is not in the bathroom but in the bedroom. There is no rail to hang your hand towels so they end up getting wet when you balance them on the edge of the sink. The sink kept blocking. There is no safe or fridge in the room and the air conditioning was very weak. Even with it on full power all night on 15 degrees, the temperature in the room was still 23 degrees. Kettle and cups provided but no tea bags or coffee. Breakfast was ok. No croissants or pain au chocolat. Just bread and cheese and ham with some cereal options and some cake. Homemade stuff but would have been nice to get a pastry. We wouldn't stay there again unfortunately.
