Staff was truly prompt, professional, reassuring. Extremely clean everywhere. The breakfast was good, in a cozy well maintained room with TV, with good hours (6.30-11am). They don't have kettles in the room, but I was able to have as much hot drinking water I wanted from the reception. The lounge is not too generous in size and a little worn out (the photos are flattering), but the room was beautiful, understated yet comfortable, wonderfully organised and restful. Plenty of shops around, with fashion and interior design lovers in particular, being spoilt for choice (found interesting gems while walking to Gare de Lyon Perrache on rue Auguste Compte).
