Key basics - bed and shower and rest of bathroom - both excellent.

but well thought, with all the amenities you may want (except a fridge/mini bar), but it is rather conceived for very short stays.

Also an en-suite bathroom with a good shower (much needed!

but very comfortable room and the shower room was very functional.

but its Paris the room was very modern and had a lovely shower and good wardrobe space.

The towels & soap were not changed during our 3 night stay  The breakfast is really good and Worth It.The personal is very kind.I recommand this address.

Comfortable bed, modern toilet with an Italian shower with good water temperature and pressure.

The room was a reasonable size with a good sized shower room.

Surely the hotel was very clean , rooms and also lobby, very careful to the details, even in the lobby toilet.

Everything was fine, the room was cleany shampoo and enough towels was available.

The bed was very big and comfy, the shower was amazing.

I went to the bathroom for about 5 mins, fillowed by my daughter went to the bathroom for the same time.

but charming room, clean and comfortable, practical and clean bathroom, nice shower, very quiet hotel (despite the proximity of the train station), very convenient location, very easy to find, super teams (night team included)

It is consistently excellent - the rooms are a good size for Paris with comfortable beds and practical shower rooms.

Location perfect - five minutes from Gare de Lyon (take main exit at front of station).

Excellent location, reasonable price, clean, comfortable, all sorts of food outlets near by, three minutes walk to Gare de Lyon, luggage storage.

Perfectly located near Gare de Lyon, super easy for those arriving by train.

I stayed at the Hotel Palym overnight before catching a train south from Gare de Lyon.

Quiet place in a small street only 100m from the trainstation Gare de Lyon.

I stayed at Hotel Palym as I needed to be very close to Gare de Lyon.

* Fantastic location, Gare de Lyon is a great metro stop to live at.

We will use this hotel again if we need one near Gare de Lyon!

A typical 3 star hotel in Paris with bit hectic surroundings with lots of commuters to/from Gare de Lyon.

The hotel is very well situated next to gare de Lyon in Paris.

Super comfortable, clean,  hotel less than 5 minute walk from Gare de Lyon.

I may consider coming back here if I have to stay near Gare de Lyon,

We left almost immediately to catch a train at the Gare de Lyon.

I love it because it's nice and personnel, well situated, close to the Gare de Lyon, where I normally arrive with the TGV and from where there is a metro Line takes me straight to the center.

We chose this hotel as it was close to thhe Gare de Lyon and we had an early train to catch.

A friendly, handy and good value hotel in great location in Paris near Gare de Lyon.

Very convenient location just next to Gare de Lyon.

less than 200 yards from the Gare de Lyon.

It’s close to Gare de Lyon and we had a room on the street

The hotel is very close top Gare de Lyon, which makes it also very close to the Paris Islands, Bastille, Louvre, Les Halles, etc.

Comfortable bed was comfortabl The hotel was at  great location very close to the Gare De Lyon.

The Hotel is very well situated - near Gare de Lyon and Metro - and is good value for money.

Its center location is wonderful, close to Gare de Lyon, and walking distance to some Paris attraction.

I chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the Gare de Lyon.

Well located close by Gare de Lyon,this hotel is the best solution I found till now for a business trip.

We chose this hotel as it was within walking distance of Gare De Lyon station and had favourable Trip Advisor reviews.

Hotel Palym offers great value: superb location (close to Gare de Lyon and Metro), a couple of brasseries (some of which open 24h) around the corner, clean and apparently newly refurbished rooms.

The only good thing about this place is proximity to Gare de Lyon.

This hotel looked nice on the website and we did pick it for its location very close to Gare de Lyon as we had an early train to catch,

It is near the Gare de Lyon, well connected with the main attractions in Paris, at a short walk distance from the Bastille and Marais
The room was clean and very comfortable.

Hotel Palym sat bang in the middle of the two - so close to Gare de Lyon (which made for an easy two stop access home via Gare de Nord Eurostar).

Location near Gare de Lyon was perfect with many cafes and shops all within walking distance.

We chose it for its proximity to the Gare de Lyon.

Accessible and very near the Gare De Lyon & Metro.

However the bathroom was very small, which made it awkward to use and there was no space to put down clothes or washing kit.

The shower was SO small that you shouldn't take this room is you are at all hefty.

toilets are tiny the only good thing of this hotel is the location

The rooms at Palym were so beautifully decorated, bathrooms are a little small,

The room was a good size for the centre of Paris with a double bed, desk, TV (only 1 English channel), shower bathroom and a small balcony.

The bathroom was quite tiny with a small shower stall, and not a lot of shelf space to put your toiletries.

The only cons that I can think of are the small bathroom (expected though) and no free breakfast (Need to pay additional 8 Euros per pax).

The only negatives were that there weren't any dresser to put clothes in and the bathroom was really small.

The bed was very comfirtable, bathroom was very tiny

The bathrooms (someof us had very small bathrooms also) were modern with shower only.

It is so small that the toilet seat is on the verge of falling off the toilet because it is so hard to get into a proper seating position without knocking your knees into the wall, so most people must have sat sideways and moved the seat out of its position.

Back to our room - it was a pretty small room by US standards with a tiny bathroom that included a shower stall

but this time our room was very small ,included the shower a toilet (36)
it was very silent.

but room was very small and didn't contain basic items such drawers and bag table.

The hotel is really small and the rooms even smaller and really cold.

Room was a bit small as we had 2 big luggages to open,

The room booked as a triple room had a small fold out lounge stuffed in a corner, very uncomfortable for my 17 yr old.

Typically of Paris hotels they are maximising the use of the space, the lift and rooms were a little on the small side.

Room was quite small for a double, view was not amazing, Wifi was awful and was told there were too many people using it?

Overall, everything is perfect if u don't mind the small room.

Absolutely perfect if you are catching a train

Beautiful hotel right in front of Gare du Lyon, so it's perfect when travelling by train.

We stayed in Paris only for 3 nights… so we wanted a very well connected hotel, near the most important attractions to go by train or even walking… this hotel meets that requirements and also it’s clean, comfortable and the staff are lovely.

Would recommend if you need to catch an early train.

Would definitely stay here again, even if I didn't have an early morning train.

Very nice position near the Railway and Metro station.

Too close to Lyon Train Station, métro and train and Place Bastille as well.

I am moving to Montpellier and hoped to find regular hotel in Paris, near to the train.

Because it is so near the Gate Dr Lyon and because we were traveling by train we stayed here.

Perfect for late train arrivals and/or early departures.

We booked this hotel for a quick overnight stay knowing we were getting off the train at Gare du Lyon at 11pm.

We particularly liked the mural lighting, depicting historic railway scenes.

but I barely noticed that - modern and clean with a well lit mirror and heated towel rail.

We chose this hotel as it was close to both an intercity and inter-country railway stations.

Location was perfect for the Gare de Lyon and Le Train Bleu restaurant.

My train arrived at Gare de Lyon and the hotel is very nearby..which also makes it very close to Metro and Buses.

Very nice hotel near the railway station, also the surroundings looked safer and cleaner than I've expected.

Accidental TGV to Paris from Avignon; requiring a quick search for overnight accommodation near the train station.

My first reason for the choice is the very good location (near railway station).

Walking distance to train station (Garde du Lyon) and good restaurants close by.

We used both the near by bus stops and the near by train station to get to Versaille and around Paris.

Although it was so near the train station, the street was relatively quiet, well lit and safe.

even though the there is a train station close by.

We picked this hotel based on other people's reviews and its location which is very close to the train station.

Close to the train station, 1-1/2 blocks from the Air France bus stop from the airport.

Everything would have been ok except one big failure: I was given a room without daylight (a wall in front of the window)!

Lots of noise through the thin walls, even with their normal activity.

but had nowhere to put anything and the grey painted walls depressing.

The only reason it isn't getting 5 stars is because the walls are thin and you can hear a lot.

The walls were a bit dirty and it didn't really have any character.

The only downside of our room was that it was facing the wall.

Wall was thin paper, It easy to hear TV sound from next door, of course conversation are.

Small & dark you need lights in the daylight, no view except a 3 metre square in the centre of the hotel just four walls to look at, this is at best 2* only positive was location for train station!! !

However, as our 5 year old got into bed she noticed a bug, which on closer inspection was one of many, bed bugs which were literally crawling all over the bedding and up the walls.

however the shower only goes as high as 3' (maybe), and does not have a curtain or even a glass wall to keep water off the floor.

If you hear a squeaky sound it's probably your tush rubbing againt the shower wall (LOL).

The last point I wanted to highlight are the thin walls.

What surprised me most is that there were at least 6 big mosquitoes on the wall in the last night we stayed.

Huge rainfall shower in a good sized bathroom.

Rooms large, very clean and with every amenity we required (great air-conditioning/mini-fridge/USB charge points/shampoo, conditioner etc in bathroom).

The hotel was a pretty standard Holiday Inn hotel, had all the a basic amenities.

rooms and bathrooms are great, some with small balcony
I would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay like i did

Clean and comfortable room with spacious bathroom.

but misleading at the same time, you can easily sleep until noon without noticing it :)
Design of the bathroom very elegant, with a huge forest shower and marble surfaces.

but clean and the bathroom was full sized.

Big shoutout to the rain shower with the Italian design that made the stay 2 as much better.

The bathroom was very modern and actually surprised me considering it's a holiday Inn.

Hotel accommodation was good nice bathroom and bed.

Toiletries and bathroom accessories are good.

There is a magnifying mirror set in the mirror in the bathroom and one can adjust the location of the magnifying mirror by moving the entire mirror. 3.

The bathroom was also a comfortable size and had a great shower.

The toilet & shower room were separate facing each other diagonally across the room.

Amenities are adequate and the bed was very comfortable.

The room was exceptionally clean and had the most beautiful bathroom.

We enjoyed the sizable bathrooms with walk-in showers (though still requires a step up).

Upon our return, the front desk guy recognized me and caught up with me by the elevator to say that no one had a chance to check it out,

Not being used to Holiday Inn’s set up in 17th century buildings I found this to be quite quirky in layout, lifts etc.

The elevator to 7th floor was not working, so was inconvenient with luggage (but the staff assisted).

Get a low floor and then you can conveniently take stairs by the elevator.

During our stay some renovation work was ongoing so little bit of inconvenient using the stairs as bigger lift was not accessible

Only downside was one of the lifts wasn’t working.

Only 1 super slow elevator for 7 floors worth of rooms.

The elevators are are difficult and slow.

( Although most of the cleaning staff only speaks french)You will have to carry your own luggage to your room,but there are two elevators,so that was not a big issue.

(Our only frustration at times was the lift service.

Only issue I see was that it's and only building with small and slow elevators,

but that only adds to its charm fromt the old fashion gated elevator to the spiral stair cases ( just like everything in Paris).

Lifts are a nit hit and miss, and the older one was always out of order.

Great location moments from Gare de Lyon.

Great location, close to Gare de Lyon, lots of local restaurants and within walking distance of many tourist attractions.

The location of this hotel is excellent being next to the Gare de Lyon metro.

The hotel is a five minute walk from Gare de Lyon so the Holiday Inn is extremely convenient, with excellent eating options nearby and good access for both Metro and RER, so don't be deterred by the insalubrious flashing yellow sign of the dodgy establishment next door.

Much to our surprise, this hotel, located between the Gare de Lyon and the Bastille was a great choice.

For the second time we went to the Holiday Inn Paris Gare de Lyon Bastille.

The hotel was very close to Gare De Lyon so just a few minutes walk to the station.

We chose this because it's a 2-minute walk from Gare de Lyon.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Gare de Lyon for six nights in September 2019.

It’s closeness to the Gare de Lyon after the 6 hour train journey from Nice

The hotel is within walking distance of the Gare de Lyon and that may be a bonus for weary train travellers

We stayed here because of its proximity to the Gare De Lyon station.

The location is close to Gare de Lyon station,

When you look for a nice place in short walking distance to Gare de Lyon then is it a place to recommend

While extremely convenient to the Gare de Lyon train station (why we picked this location), it’s a $40 - 50 taxi to the central area, e.g.

We (the family) had a very nice stay at Holiday Inn Paris Gare de Lyon Bastille.

This is in my mind one of the nicer hotels close to Gare de Lyon.

Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby and conveniently located next to Gare de Lyon with metro and RER connections.

The hotel is very close to Gare de Lyon which is great.

The hotel is conveniently located at a 5 mins walk from Gare De Lyon which provides local and international rails connections.

but we were surprised with the quality of room we were given at Gare de Lyon.

Like the location; easy walking access to train and metro; friendly and/or helpful staff; modern room; and solid breakfast.

Location is good in the city close to station with bikes and metro.

We thought it's still a very convenient location,

Brilliant location, friendly staff and thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Excellent location near Bastille and Gare du nord.

Modern hotel with great location just 5 min walking from railway station.

The Marais is where one of our favorite restaurants is located, so it was a "must" visit.

It takes 20min to get to the Notre Dame by metro, what is for Paris pretty convenient location.

The Holiday Inn was in an ideal location for us to explore Paris and experience the New Year celebrations.

First off location is great for visiting attractions!

Location is great as you have the station just a short walk away and lots of local restaurants and bars situated close by.

Lovely stay, excellent service, perfect location.

USB points & music Bluetooth link for your music to room speakers located in bedside unit.

The location is perfect, about a block from the Gare train and Metro station, and walking distance to Notre Dame.

Melodie arranged for late check out and when she saw I had difficulty talking to my driver, she helped tell the driver details on pick up location in French.

Our room had a lovely balcony to watch Paris go by.

One big plus this time was that the room was much quieter than last time--seems like better windows and doors.

We loved the small balcony our room provided.

Cozy room proved to be a better way to start the day than the 5 star room without a view in another hotel.

Of special note is the design of the rooms with new build in bedside furniture.

As you would expect the rooms are very comfortable and clean and the staff friendly and efficient.

Rooms are quite large compared to most Paris hotels .

I was thrilled to be offered a room with a balcony which meant I could see snow fall in Paris.

The rooms are freshly renovated with old style high ceilings, and they are large by Parisian standards.

Our rooms on the 2nd floor were quiet, spacious, extremely clean, and the beds were super-comfortable.

They let us have the room as early as mid-morning and gave us free late check-out, since they weren`t full, probably due to COVID.

The rooms were good and clean when compared to Paris standards.

Room was awesome and the buffet food and service was excellent.

Although the location is good, the rooms are small, furniture is quite dated, and very cramped.

Stayed here for a week and the room was small

The rooms have very small balconies that you can stand on.

I know some other reviewers may have mentioned small rooms,

There are several cafe's near this hotel where you could enjoy a Parisian breakfast and Bastille Restaurants are all walking distance.The rooms are very very small (  approx 14 sq m ) which is literally half the size of most small hotels and you could literally slide into the bathroom from the bed.

even though still disappointed with the tiny room.

The room itself is small for the price you pay

Very basic accomodation,  very small room.
