citizenM Paris Gare de Lyon

The location was good. The staff enhances the whole experience. They are so knowledgeable, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Maddie was fantastic in her help in navigating the process of getting tickets to a venue we really wanted to get to. She,as well as all the staff while we were there, were great in helping us navigate the metro to where we wanted to go. We got handwritten notes about sites, restaurants and cafes- and printouts of routes, maps etc if we needed. The staff in the rooftop bar were so friendly and hardworking. Camilla and Emilia? Or Elise? Anyway- it’s enjoyable to be served by people who seem to like what they do. We absolutely loved sunset in the bar and it became our routine to head up there for a margarita pizza and cocktail. It was a great way to unwind and enjoy a great evening meal.

Advance check in system, room automation from curtain to tv, shower, lights, blinds. Breakfast was good and top floor Eifle tower view, best location to reach all famous destination norter dam cathedral, louver, serene river etc, adjacent to central train station which is amazing, paul bakery to city center street cafes nearby, river walk at 200 meter, its awesome location to stay. Only i wish room view should have been river side or eifle tower. be river like was my room view which was facing. Other than its not within city center but at edge which brings taxes lower so the price.

This is a very modern techy hôtel … it’s a great location close to Gare de Lyon and is really quiet thanks to its exterior glazing on top of double glazed windows . Very comfortable beds. An iPad in room that controls everything from lighting to music and the curtains ! No tea or coffee in the rooms but I guess younger travellers under 40 (which this hôtel is aiming for ) would find that old fashioned maybe. Has a nice bar on top floor to enjoy the view. A few small things would improve it : Clean the windows ! The view was amazing but blurred Make sure there’s soap and that the bottles work and also the toilet (under the water ) was stained badly , not dirty but looks bad . That said I would return .

For this price it was an excellent stay for us as a couple for three nights in Paris. The bed is so comfortable, blackout curtains ensure a good night sleep. Love the colorful mood lightening on waking hours. Staff was helpful. The location is great - good connections to metro line 1 and 14 which take you to main tourist attractions; a walk to Notre Dame was about 30 mins, many brunch places (recommending Sweet&Salty), bars and restaurants are within the walking distance in Bastille or at the Viaduct (10-20 mins by walk).

The room size was excellent, the bed was very comfortable and very helpful staff. Lots of excellent cafés and good restaurants in the area. The gare de lyon ( trains, RER and metro)is 3 minutes away. For me, the location was excellent because being so close to metro line 14 was very convinient, as it was the best to commute to where I was working. However, for tourists who want to go sightseeing, the location is not the best. From gare de Lyon they can go everywhere, but it is not central.
