Palym

Excellent location. This recently renovated, nicely decorated, clean hotel is an easy 5 minute walk from the Gare de Lyon. My 6th floor room overlooking the side street was quiet, had no street noise, and had a charming French balcony. The bed was comfortable. There is an excellent French restaurant nearby that is a great value for money and that the locals go to: Le Bistro Lyonnais, 6 rue Michel Chasles 75012 Paris. The hotel breakfast cost 15 Euros, was convenient & had a good selection (fresh baguette, croissants, pain au chocolate, expresso/cappucino machine, fruit, yogurt, cheese, eggs, cold cuts, etc.). I would stay there again.

I missed the last train to Zurich and needed a hotel near Gare de Lyon for a night. I went for the Palym because of the good recommendations. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I liked how modern the room and bathroom looked like. It had some futuristic touch. I know the room looks tiny on pictures. But to me, it never felt cramped or something. It felt comforting and cozy. Everything was very clean and in good condition. And the staff offered me to store my luggage for a few hours because my train departed in the afternoon after checkout. This allowed me to take a walk through Paris. I will definitely book the Palym again.

I arrived late in Paris and needed a hotel near Gare de Lyon train station for an early start the next day. Hotel Palym was perfect for a number of reasons. Location is an easy walk of a few hundred yards to the station. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room, although small, was spotless, well appointed and very comfortable. Wifi worked fine and there was a large TV (although I didn't use it). The bathroom was clean with soap supplied and a very nice shower. I was concerned that being on the ground floor it would be noisy, but not at all. I left before 7 and so did not have the breakfast, but the dining area looked nice.

Location is perfect, just at Gare de Lyon station, but in a quiet street. Room was not big, but what do you expect in Paris. However, high ceiling made for it, and fireplace in the corner (though walled, but added a nice touch). Staff very helpful. I was on crutches and they did everything to make my stay as easy as possible. Good bed! Plenty of nice wee restaurants in the side streets, off the main station square. Underground station just across the street, bus stations down the street.

The hotel is furnished exceptionally well and beautifully clean, comfortable and good breakfast. The staff are very helpful and rooms cleaned every day. Fantastic.
