Located just steps away from dozens of restaurants, boulangeries and stores. The hotel is not next to any major sights but it is conveniently right next to a metro and about a dozen busses so you can get anywhere in 15 minutes. The rooms are tiny as is expected for a Parisian hotel. Decor is fairly outdated and the room was rather drab but everything worked and you are not coming to Paris to sit in a room anyways. The staff was friendly and helpful and most importantly spoke passable English. If I had a bigger budget I would stay closer to the center, but this worked well overall.

I stayed here with my study abroad group, and it was perfect. For one thing, it’s air conditioned, unlike most of France! They are very family oriented — while they do have a nice restaurant downstairs, every morning they also have a family breakfast that includes entertainment. My entire group of college students was very excited to receive balloon flowers and bracelets. The breakfast is very good — it includes protein, not just cheap carbs, although they do have high quality pastries, of course! It is France, after all. They also had a heated pool, although I didn’t go in, considering how hot I already was. All in all, this was a solid choice, and a nice break from the sweltering heat of our other accommodations.

Pleasant rooms and helpful staff, although the breakfast area was a bit chaotic

We’ve just returned from three nights at this hotel. We were fortunate enough to get a free upgrade to the executive room which included a large balcony and free mini bar. Location is great, just a short hop to the Metro in the train station. Great to have access to a swimming pool but it was rather busy with children when our family used it. The large open space to the front of the hotel can have a number of people hanging around with skateboards and roller blades but there wasn’t any problem caused by this. Very pleasant hotel staff. The hotel is just a short walk from gaining a glimpse of Notre Damm and the Effiel Tower.

Good breakfast great variety. Entertainment for kids at breakfast. Nice swimming pool. Near train station and bus stops. Lots of cafe's and restaurants nearby. And walking distance to river seine .Drinks a bit pricey.

Amazing place. It's confusing though because there are 3 Novotels in that area. This one is right outside the paris main station. The bathroom has no lock on it which is the only bad thing. They've got an Xbox 360 with fortnite and roblox in it. There is a Xbox 360 live also and a play table. There is a web corner where you can use 2 iMacs for 20 mins at different times. The indoor swimming pool is small.

The Service was Really nice and good nur just the room Service was not soo good...but in the whole, the Hotel is very good

There was no air conditioning and the window only opened slightly. The location is ok, convenient for travel as it is close to the Gare de Lyon train station, but the neighborhood a bit run down.

Update: To be more precise, we did not have air conditioning because it had not yet been turned on for the season, despite the warm temperatures. However if you are visiting during the summer months, this is unlikely to be an issue for you as they will have turned their ac system on by then. I will avoid during the spring and fall.

The hotel did provide us with a room fan but the noise from the construction across the street was loud with the window open.

Very clean, perfect location for a business trip. Friendly staff and good breakfast with a wonderful choice of cheese!
24/7 pool (very small).

Modern hotel with great location literally next to Gare de Lyon station. Check in was a bit crazy on our particular day, but they found a room that was ready after a short wait. The pool is nice, but not the most kid-friendly as it is >5ft deep for the majority of the pool

Beautiful interior, clean and very modern design throughout the hotel. The staff are incredibly helpful and always greet you with a smile. Excellent customer service. The rooms are well designed, the bathrooms are stunning and the beds are very comfortable, all in all, really happy with my visit

We were the and the food is good and tge rooms are a bit small but it is a very nice hotel and I will say go there it is you money worht

Nice rooms, helpful staff, nice pool. The interior was excellent, very close to the train station. Would recommend for families and foreigners.

Good hotel, very close to gare de lyon station. Offers a pool and a gym.I recommend if you want to have a hotel near a station with easy access to the city centre

Quiet, clean, great location, very comfortable. Would definitely come back there.

The location is great. Room and service just fine but i didn't like the doors being closed early in the night. We had to call the concierge in the interphone but nothing uncomfortable

The hotel is a good choice if you need something close to Gare de Lyon. As it is not located on a large street it is rather quiet. The rooms are renovated so this is better than the typical old European Novotel. I have to say mine was really large and well appointed, I also loved the rain shower.
Service is good at the reception, with competent and nice staff. The housekeeping is also well done. The breakfast however felt disorganised and chaotic, also I noticed the poor quality of some items (scrambled eggs were runny, ham not good quality).
For member of Le Club AccorHotels, the recognition was so-so. Half of the benefits were delivered (although the one who were are the one that mattered to me).
The swimming pool is poor. First the changing cabin (singular) is cramped, and the swimming pool awkward location by the reception does not induce to have a relaxing moment there.

The hotel was very accommodating to our family. They even brought up a baby cot, set it up and put sheets on the mattress pad.

Hotel location is superb and facility are good. Except the service level got to improve and learn the fundamental of service recovery.

Although there is complimentary Wi-Fi and nice restaurant the bathroom in the rooms aren't very private they are clear glass

Located right next to a train station, very easy to find. Popular tourist sites are also quite accessible from there. Service was great, easy check in and check out. Free wifi was pretty fast and reliable. The room was a bit tight, like most things in Paris, but workable. Furniture was nice and seemed new. Loved the bathroom. Even got to use the 24 hour indoor swimming pool. Wide variety of options for breakfast in the hotel. Several restaurants within walking distance.

Very good Hotel. Spacious rooms, even for a family of 5. Very tasty Breakfast in a 'take what you want' style, which includes making your own eggs. There's a nice pool and a great place for kids, with xbox and playstation games.

Great place . Very very close the train station "gare de Lyon" but very calm. Great to have a pool ! The breakfast is awesome !!!

Bene there with my wife for five days. Overall experience was positive. Well served by Metro and bus.

We stayed at this hotel overnight to make sure we were right next to the station and train, RER A, which would take us to Disneyland Paris in the morning. Finding the correct side to exit the station was difficult, make sure you exit 'sortie 2' to get to the hotel straight from the station. Check-in was easy and the room was lovely, and with english breakfast tea stocked and a bottle water in the fridge. The best thing about the room was the bed - lovely and firm mattress. The two let downs for me were the swimming pool, which jetted in cold bursts of water near the stairs, and the continental breakfast costing 18 euros (I do understand this may be standard for Paris).

Worked out great. Nice location near Paris Highline, great area for runners and easy access to the 1 train for Arc de Triomphe and Louvre... New rooms and fancy showers.

Convenient location for jumping on the metro to travel around town, and with a swimming pool so ideal for visiting with the kids this is a basic but good value option. There are a few decent restaurants in the area and it's easy to reach from other mainline stations too.

Great little pool. Very close to Gare de Lyon which was good. Very friendly and helpful staff

Novotel is a place to be....
Home away from home.
Best hospitality I have ever experienced.
I felt so sad leaving.

Thanks so much Novotel

Stayed as a family of four. Nice room which was clean. Good breakfast, convenient location for trains and lots of good restaurants nearby. Will come back.

Modern hotel, very clean room. Nice staff. Surroundings are a bit dirty, as most big train station neighborhoods are.

Great location. Good rooms and good buffet breakfast. Kid friendly.

Very nice room and friendly staff. Excellent location, especially if you are going to be taking a train from/to Paris

I am very, very satisfied with my one-week stay in this hotel. Convenient location, utmost cleanliness, fantastic breakfast buffet and breakfast options, a rare pool in Paris, superb customer service.

Excellent location next to the train station. Well presented foyer and room clean and tidy. Bathroom is something lush. Recommended

Staying here for business. Rooms are spacious with great amenities. Staff is friendly and work quickly.

Hotel 4 stelle molto curato e personale gentile. Camera belle pulite, abbastanza spaziose. Nell hotel sono presenti pidvina e palestra. Colazione molto varia ed abbondante. Vicino alla stazione dei treni di Lyon. Consigliato.

everything was so good ! it is near to the most important metro(subway) station

Perfect place. Bring your kids, good parking. Friendly staff speaking foreign languages. Breakfast is endless

Great service, awesome pool, beautiful lobby and exercise room. Good wifi and safe location and nice workers! Though no free breakfast or drinks... But a good place for families and people on buisness!

Swimming pool is nice. Very near transportation exchange.

Very nice hotel with many family facilities.. very good location, indoor swimming pool and gym.... very nice hotel to explore Paris

Perfect location, right adjacent to Gare de Lyon train station. While the hotel is expensive, it saves you money n time since it's next to the train station, especially if you hv lots of luggage. Lots of good food options around.

Lovely rooms.Lovely pool. Next to Gare de Lyon train station. In the middle of the city. Kids area including 3 xbox 360s. One with a Kinect and other two with controllers. Best hotel in Paris. If you go to Paris, you should stay here!!

This hotel is well placed for the Gare de Lyon. Nice rooms, if you pay extra for executive rooms you get a Nespresso machine and a fridge with some drink cans included. The shower is a bit strange with a big glass wall to the bedroom and a switch to fog it out.
Good choice at breakfast but can be quite busy later so get there early.

Despite continuously deteriorating price/quality ratio, the place is still OK to stay if you come for work.
Rooms are not spacious but not too small, the staff is not brilliant but rather friendly (this year almost everyone spoke English on acceptable level).
They don't provide coffee-machine or free minibar like they did 3-5 years ago for the same room price but the hotel is still very clean, everything in the room works like it should and finally they made friendly wi-fi access (previously it was rather inconvenient logging in).
Besides the hotel is "attached" to train station and it's easy to get to/from airport, city center and sightseeing places are 10-20m far by metro.
All in all - good place to stay.

Great hotel. Clean, rooms, friendly service, reasonable price for Paris. Close to Gare de Lyon train station, but still very quiet. Nice play room for the kids.

Really enjoyed our stay here. A well run hotel with very nice rooms. The only hesitation was the neighbourhood - not ideal for walking home later in the evening.

Traveling from the states on buisness and vacation. Got a large room big enough for two adults and two kids. Rooms great. Modern and clean. Game room with video games and nice swimming pool. Excellent staff always ready to be helpful. Couldn't ask for better location near restaurants and all modes travel. Even near the tour bus stops. Perfect stop for families going to Paris!!!

Good location for public transport and walking. Hotel rooms a little too cosy but warm and comfortable. Restaurants very good as was room service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

Nothing to complain.

Very nice location and comfortable room.

Lovely hotel , well situated and very comfortable bed too. I really enjoyed the stay . It has a great breakfast, unfortunately it is not included on your stay price .

I would consider stay here again in near future if needed it to .
