Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Du Helder is often praised for its convenient location near tram stops and within walking distance of some points of interest and supermarkets, making it a practical choice for exploring Lyon. Guests appreciate the tidy and spacious rooms, some including a bath, alongside practical amenities like a small wardrobe and table. While the lack of air conditioning has been noted by some, many find the hotel a good value, particularly with its 24/7 reception and proximity to the main train station. the breakfast was for free, which I think is a nice gesture from the hotel, we had to pay for breakfast in other hotels.

The breakfast was pretty good. It had a decent variety of options, i guess.

The room key stopped working every day. It forced unnecessary trips to the reception for reactivation throughout my stay. How annoying!

The staff was very helpful! I could easily reach the train station because the tram was right outside. I enjoyed the location near the river.

The furniture seemed tired. The carpet looked worn! The walls definitely looked like they had seen a lot. The area around the place felt a bit dodgy. I did not feel completely safe .

The staff was helpful and friendly I appreciated their assistance with local directions. I found the location quite convenient with easy access to transportation. The room was clean and tidy offering a comfortable stay. I also made use of the parking which I booked in advance which was very convenient.

The WiFi connection was a bit weak sometimes I found it challenging for video calls.
