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.

The room and bathroom were extremely small but this is typical for Paris. I had a small single room on the 6th floor (top floor). The room was tiny but I only used it for sleeping, so it was OK for me for a 3 day stay. The bathroom was extremely cramped. For taller persons and those needing more bathroom space, I recommend requesting a room with a larger bathroom.

The rooms were clean and modern. Enough space for a couple traveling in the room but not so much space if you have 2 suitcases. The windows were nice, and outlets next to the bed were a big plus. The hotel itself is clean and well kept. It's in a good area with plenty of shopping and public transportation.

For security, they ask you to leave your room key at the desk when leaving the hotel. I've never been to a hotel like this before where you leave your room key in a basket mixed with every other persons room key. Didn't run into an issue with this model, but I'm not a fan. There is no variety with breakfast in the mornings, so expect the same thing for breakfast every day. I did find the breakfast was good each morning and included fresh eggs and fruit and bacon, croissants, cheeses, deli meats, and breads. The front desk guy fussed at me for having my feet on the footstool because that's where suitcases go. Very strange.

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.

The room was as small as advertised, but had everything needed, bed, bathroom, shower. The bed was more on the harder side and there was some noise from the elevator and corridor. But to be fair, there are plenty of hotels where this is far worse. So, it's less of a negative point than just something to be aware of.

The cleanliness of the toom , comfortable bed & pillows , the breakfast especially thd croissant , butter & coffee , and the location of the hotel so near to Gare de Lyon .

The bath is so nartow , although I sm not tall it was not easy to sit stable on the toilette , sitting by my side , the tub was so small the all the water falls on the floor while washing my face, the design of the bath is so weired, the most annoying point is the € 80 when I arrived as extra value over the booking as a guarantee not to steel something from the room or don’t abide by the hotel rules ! Which was not declared while I was booking in that hotel as it was non- refundable booking , the person in the reception told me I csn cancel the booking now & he will accept the cancellation for free which was not easy for me to search for another hotel at 10 oclock pm with heavy big two bags ! Non - welcoming non- presentable hotel staff even in the breakfast room !

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.

Nothing of substance. Some might find the room small, particularly for a long stay, but it was fine for me and other rooms may be bigger.

I’ve been many times to Palym last 2 months! (About 4 ou 5 times). It is really a very good place to stay for short or even long periods! Is very near from Gare de Lyon - 3 min walking (just have to cross the street), where it is possible to find anything you need, since markets, restaurants, bistros, bakeries, train and metro station and much more! The employees are all very kind and always very helpful and also speak english besides french ! I will be back soon for sure! Congrats for all employees whose names I did not get to know !

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.

Location minutes on foot from Gaurd de Lyon station. Ideal form Metro and RER. Nice seating area in lobby (closes at 10pm). Water and pastries there on arrival nice touch. We were upgraded to the larger double which was v.big. Great bed and a good nights sleep. Double my sister had was a good size too. Nicely decorated. Clean and tidy. Reception staff were excellent. Very helpful. Aircon was quiet and worked great. Small balcony onto the street. Quiet outside. Lots of restaurants and cafes. Some shops nearby

Handing key in when out of room but a small point and understand the cost of replacing. Bathrooms are tight but great showers and nicely decorated again a small point. No kettle for tea and coffee but €3 for one made in the breakfast room wasn’t too bad.

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

I would have liked to make my own tea/coffee in my room but could buy from reception. It is a smaller hotel so doesn't do food or alcoholic drinks in the evening, but good restaurants nearby.

I like the position of the hotel, very handy to gare de Lyon, the area is nice and the street is quiet. The rooms are smallish but very comfortable, just renovated, perfect. Staff were nice and helpful. Good value for money in Paris.. Very conveniently located to a Brasserie called l'Européen which I highly recommend for its atmosphere, style, not to mention the food, good value for money, go for the 40 euros set menu,aperitif included and good wine with dinner, incredible. Art deco style. Enjoy Paris.

There was absolutely nothing I did not like.
