“The location is convenient, close to the Rhone river and with easy access to public transportation. I'm concerned about reports of feeling unsafe, particularly the incident with housekeeping. However, the price is appealing, which may be a deciding factor for some travelers despite the dated facilities.”

The staff were very helpful, speaking English and answering my questions. I found that aspect acceptable.
The photos seemed misleading. The rooms must not have been renovated in decades! I noticed the noise from the street was very loud. Groups gathered right at the hotel door.
