Mixed feelings about this hotel

bleach smell shower screen
The location proved convenient, with easy access to the train station.
The room reeked of bleach when I arrived. There were no windows to ventilate the room, very unpleasant. the shower lacked a screen, so water splashed everywhere during use.

Convenient Location and Helpful Staff

train station helpful staff
The hotel is close to Gare de Lyon (it's a short walk). The front desk staff was always available, even when I needed to catch an early morning train. (That was at 6am!).
I have no complaints to report.
