Hôtel Taggât

The location is very close to the Foch station and there are couple cafes nearby

It would be better to have a kittle in the room, instead of calling the staff each time for hot water.

A relaxed, friendly and stylish hotel at a reasonable price in a central location (close to Foch metro, walking distance from Part Dieu station). The hotel staff were absolutely delightful (even by the high standards of Lyon, which I found to be a very friendly city): very helpful and warm, and willing to put up with my rusty French. I liked the minimalist decor in the bedroom, which was small but well thought-out in terms of storage and space. The shower was excellent and the bed was comfortable. The location puts almost everything in central Lyon within walking distance, and there are lovely gift shops, mini-supermarkets, chemist, cafes etc. in the local area.

The sound proofing between rooms was not great, and the street was noisy (but this is pretty much unavoidable in city centre hotels). The breakfast buffet was limited: good idea to offer a 5 euro coffee and pastry, but I would not bother upgrading to the larger 9 euro buffet, as choice was limited. There was some confusion about whether my pre-payment for the room was a pre-authorization or actual payment. A slight niggle was that the bins were not emptied one day of my stay, but cleaning was fine on the whole.
