Bel Oranger Gare de Lyon

"Great location. Rooms vary from overlooking street (not too noisy) to an attic. (Avoid the attic - low headroom) Staff at cehck-in saw i was tall and offered me a room near reception, which was quiet and reasonable size. Rooms well fitted out, and quite a good amount of space for Paris ! Close to station. Nearby restaurants were pricey as they are close to Gare de lyon. Overall a good 2 night experience and would use them again."

"I booked a family room back in Oct 2024 for 1 night - I like to support smaller hotels as opposed to chains when I can. Three weeks before arrival, I received a rather curt message telling me to cancel the room! I had to ask booking.com why this was. Apparently, the hotel had mis-priced the room and now wanted 100 euros extra! It was too late to book elsewhere, at this very late stage for the Easter holiday period. When we arrived - after the check in time of 3pm - the room was not ready. We received several different times from the people on reception whilst waiting in the rather bland, small reception area. As they had already taken payment from my card, I guess there was no real rush in their eyes but we really wanted to freshen up. Note you will need to pay the city tax in cash. Eventually we were told it was ready - after 4pm. However, when we arrived at the top floor, the cleaner was still in there - and there were many full laundry bags in the small, cramped hallway making it actually a big dangerous for my 2 kids as we were perched on top of the stairs - with 5 storeys beneath. The cleaner was apologetic though and finished pretty quickly. The room itself was just functional with 4 single beds - the bathroom was rather small though. Left early-ish the next day - did not have breakfast, but it was at least useful to store our luggage in reception for the day."

"We initially chose this hotel due to its close proximity with Gare du Lyon, where we had to connect to an intercity train. The hotel is located in a quiet lane with several hotels of the same class. The staff were helpful and couldn't expect more from them. We booked a quad room and were given a room on the highest level, on the fifth floor, which was quiet and cosy with a fully renovated room and bathroom. Internet connection was good as we could upload our pictures quite quickly. Breakfast was simple but adequate. This is a small operation family - owned hotel with 25 rooms and provides value for money. "
