Hotel Palym

First the good points - brilliant location for Gare de Lyon, literally a 2 minute walk from the station concourse to the hotel door. Our room had clearly been refurbished relatively recently and on the whole looked quite smart. However, a few not so good points. We certainly didn’t get a warm welcome when arriving at the hotel and the guy behind the desk was fairly abrupt. Maybe it’s just a sign of the area, but you have to buzz to ask the front desk to open the front door for you, and the reception desk is then hidden behind glass panels - maybe all this is just a throwback from the pandemic but the overall effect is that you feel you’re arriving at a very budget hotel. The room was tiny, even for Paris. To give an idea, the bathroom was so small it was physically impossible to sit on the toilet and close the door. Breakfast was OK but was nothing special and quite limited. Given the ridiculous prices hotels generally charge in Paris these days this hotel probably wasn’t too overpriced for what you get, and was fine for a quick overnight stay. I wouldn’t want to stay for multiple nights but if you were in Paris for longer you probably wouldn’t be looking to stay around Gare de Lyon area anyway.

Upon entering, the lady working at the front desk was amazingly inviting and nice which was super comforting. The hotel lobby and my room was updated and clean. Had a small elevator so we didn’t have to carry bags up the spiral staircase. You could hear other people on their rooms talking a little, but it wasn’t enough to be bothersome. This hotel is in THE BEST location if you plan on using public transportation, especially the rail and metro which is definitely what I would recommend. I don’t actually know where you could possibly park if you got a car. This hotel was in a good location to not be terribly far from anything you’d want to see. It does look directly out to another tall building though so don’t expect an amazing view, but we didn’t spend a ton of time in the room anyway. I did not have the breakfast, so I cannot report about that. I would definitely stay here again.

Ne prenez pas les chambres au rdc, chambre Pmr. Elles donnent sur la rue, donc bruyante vu l'emplacement et surtout nous entendons le petit déjeuner et les conduites d'eaux des voisins du hauts. Donc prevoir boules Quiess

It was lovely

Tolle Lage ganz nah zum Gare de Lyon - sehr freundliches Personal - sehr gerne wieder

Une meilleure wifi serait bien

Ok

Desayuno rico y accesible. El personal súper amable. Estancia muy padre y amena

Permanecemos uma tarde e uma noite, a fim de pegarmos um trem na Gare de Lyon. A localização, o atendimento e as acomodações foram ótimos! . O café da manhã não tivemos tempo para provar.

Temiz oda ve kahvaltı güzeldi

Hotel bem proximo da east academia de trem, quarto simples, cafe da manha bom, recepção funciona bem

Compact rooms but very clean and quiet. A little hallway noise but this is extremely quiet for Paris. The two twins beds pushed together with separate bedding is a little backward, especially when they start separating throughout the night but a good choice for a single night. Exceptional location to Gare du Lyon.

What a wonderful little hotel! The staff is kind and helpful! Great location with the Gare de Lyon right across the street, making it very convenient to travel on public transportation. Good restaurants in walking distance. Beds were comfortable and clean rooms! Just what you need for Paris!

Absolutely nothing to complain about for the price. Clean rooms, recently refurbished, right next to Gate Du Lyon for early morning trains. Yes they take a damage deposit, and you aren't allowed to remove your room key from the building. So a bit quirky, but that's France for you. Plenty of shops, cafés and a bakery steps away. All in all, pretty good place that I would return to.

Das Hotel war sehr gut und würde es wieder buchen. Auch die Lage war ausgezeichnet. Alles hat gepasst

Chambre silencieuse, spacieuse,propre et bien équipée. Hôtel vraiment très proche de la gare de Lyon Paris

La qualité de la literie, le calme

Room could be more sound insulated. Noise travelled too easily
