 I thought the hotel was closer to the Gare Lyon but if one has luggage and is tired it is definitely better to take the number 87 bus from Gare Lyon which will take you right across the street from the hotel There was also some construction going on across the street so this impacted the view but it wasn t too noisy 
 Great spot for an overnight to recover from a long flight from the US Nice room and lovely bathroom Staff were very helpful
