Hôtel Moderne

Old fashioned barely 3 star at a super low price. Great location in Old Town. A bit noisy off a main square with rowdy college students

Room with window on an air shaft at the end of a dark hall way was a depressing end to a wonderful holiday - request for a room with more light turned down - low status of a one night stay?

Some room are situated around an open square (void). You can see directly into other room, and hear everything - when the windows are open of course. The windows are very good at soundproofing, but I was there during the heatwave and even with a fan in the room, it would have been nice to have the windows open. However, across from me was a family with a small baby, who cried & cried, morning, evening and late at night. They wouldn't close their windows, which I would have done out of consideration to other guests, so I had to close mine a lot of the time. Then there was the case of being woken up at 03:20 by someone playing (c)Rap music loudly through open windows. The hotel is nice enough, as is the area, but be aware that it could be very noisey

the BIIGEST ADVANTAGEof this hotel is it's LOCATION. every major attracion is within walking distance. if you are not looking for high grade amenities, take this hotel it's clean, the service is reasonable BUT the LOCATION is GREAT

Hôtel Moderne looks a bit old age and rampy when you arrive - and I guess you should have been warned from a hotel taking that name in the first place :-) The bed was at best a thin mattress and a blanket, quite short and small for being a double bed. The breakfast was simple, but did the job - baguette, butter and marmelade. The location is very central, and it made up for much of our hesitance - and the fact, that we discussed abondondoning the place after the first night. This being said, if you are travelling on a budget and need a spot in central Lyon, you could consider Hôtel Moderne. Staff is friendly and comfort might not be so important....
