Temporim Lyon Cité Internationale

Very close to the City International Center, good breakfast, and friendly staff

The room requires renovation. Soap was not provided in the bathroom that also had shabby shower hose. Two years ago when I stayed at this hotel there were no these problems.

The hotel was conveniently located with the local bus service operating directly to the train station. The kitchenette was equipped well enough with pans, spoons and even tea filter to cook a full meals and shorts meals. Park was just adjacent to the property and the waiting area was child friendly. The staff managed to check us into the property well before the mentioned check in time, since we had arrived very early at the property on the day of check in.

It would have been better if basic cooking and cleaning essentials like cooking oil, salt, sugar, coffee, milk, clothes washing powder/liquid and utensil washing liquid were provided, atleast for the shorter duration bookings, because buying these essentials in small quantities sufficient for just 3 days is not possible.

The location is by far the biggest benefit. You're right next to a conference centre and various bars, and a bus ride takes you to the city centre in less than 10 minutes. Staff was friendly. Also, Wifi is free. Room is quite spacious.

Keep in mind that this is not a hotel, but an apartment type accomodation. This means you have to pay for clean towels every day, or they won't replace them. Also, the room won't be cleaned at all during your stay. The fridge door would not close, so fridge was not functional. There were no glasses or cups (although there was cutlery). The shower worked but easily flooded if you like a full shower so I only used the mild setting. Big minus points: the pull-out sofa bed in my room had some bad stains on it, and was made up as a bed; I could not turn it back in to a sofa, the mechanism was faulty (also; where would I leave the 2-person mattrass and sheets??) The cleaning staff must have forgotten to take care of this before I checked in. If you do intend to sleep on the sofa bed; don't! I didn't even want to sit on it, the mattress was way too thin.
