The place is great, fulfilling the description. The hall is a bit creepy if you get at night, but the area is safe and has many cafes/restaurant around, specially a simple creperie which is nice, so don't be confused. One has to walk a bit (like 3-4 minutes or 5 from the big one, gare de Lyon) from the closest metro station, but once you get to the big one, specially, you are connected to everywhere. Be prepared also to walk and understand once inside the Gare de Lyon, but that is a different story. The hot water becomes only warm after two long showers, so be quick if you are two or more. I would recommend this place!
