Punching well above its midrange price tag, Le Lion has a royal-blue colour scheme and offers royal treatment to match. Staff bend over backwards to make guests feel at home – easy enough in the spacious, design-conscious rooms, whose excellent soundproofing is thoroughly tested by their location overlooking lively place de Jaude.
Downstairs, the brasserie spilling onto the square is good for a drink (and a rare beast for Clermont, being open every day with service continu).
Ask about discounted parking near the hotel (€9.50 per night).
