HOTEL DE FRANCE GARE DE LYON BASTILLE, Paris

Gare de Lyon (Metro lines 1, 14, RER A, D) is a 5-minute walk away, offering direct connections to the Louvre, Champs-Élysées, La Défense, and Disneyland. Bastille station (lines 5, 8) is under 10 minutes on foot. The Accor Arena Bercy is 12 minutes by metro line 14 or 18 minutes walking. The surrounding neighbourhood is packed with bistros, brasseries, and shops on Rue de Lappe and the Aligre market, both a short stroll away. The Coulée Verte linear park, the Viaduc des Arts, and the banks of the Seine are all within easy walking distance, making it easy to explore without always taking transport.

Room options include Comfort Doubles, Comfort Twins (which can be set up with twin or double beds), Comfort and Cosy Triples, and the Premium Room featuring a King-size bed, double sinks, separate toilet, and a pedestal table with views of Rue Crémieux. Communicating Rooms (a Twin plus a Premium Room) are available for families of up to 4 people, bookable on request. All rooms include a courtesy tray with tea and coffee, a mini fridge (with a complimentary bottle of water), a safe, and a hairdryer. The shower design lacks a full glass screen, which can lead to water on the bathroom floor - using the hand-held shower head helps manage this. Rooms on lower floors closer to the street can experience traffic and pedestrian noise, while some interior rooms have limited natural light.

The breakfast buffet includes pastries, breads, jams, honey, hot drinks, fruit juices, bacon, sausages, baked beans, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cereals, fresh fruits, and compotes. Vegan products can be provided on request. An express breakfast (a hot drink, fruit juice, and two viennoiseries) is also available by prior request. Breakfast can be taken in the room, or guests may select items from the buffet to bring upstairs. The breakfast room is compact with limited tables. For guests who prefer not to have breakfast at the hotel, several bakeries, cafés, and supermarkets are within a short walk.

Reception is staffed around the clock and can assist with taxi bookings, local information, and arranging early/late check-in or check-out. The co-working space, available from 13:00, offers high-speed Wi-Fi, a printer, and a tablet on request, plus free coffee and pastries. A lift serves all floors. Linen and towels can be requested at reception. Baby equipment (cot, booster seat, bottle warmer, changing mat) is available. Board games (Scrabble, UNO, cards) can be borrowed. Irons, adapters, and phone chargers are available at reception. Daily housekeeping runs from 08:30 to 15:30; a 'Do Not Disturb' sign can be used to skip servicing. A water refill station is available on the first floor.
