We stayed for a few days during our visit to Lyon. The location is great, right on the Saone and in Vieux Lyon. We were able to walk to restaurants, cafes and shops in the charming and quaint Old Lyon. The room was clean and quiet, the heat didn’t work properly and the front desk didn’t seem concerned. There is parking available, which is about a block away. There was only one key for the garage, so anytime you wanted to get your car, you had to get the key from the front desk, walk to the garage, get your car and then drop the key back off at the desk, reversing the process to park the car again which was kind of a pain.
We paid for the most starndard room you could get as it was a short getaway we were looking for and were limited budget wise. We finally arrived, were given our room key and opened our room door....all i could say was omg! My husband and i were gobsmacked at the fact that we paid so little for so much, and when i say so much, i mean the room standard was outstanding. Very clean, spacious room, comfy bed, small window with a view overlooking the River Saone, tea coffee facilities, small refrigerator /wasn't the coldest tbh but still glad we had one), nice size t.v. in our room. The best part was our bathroom which was a really nice spacious size with two sinks and a bath tub with fancy changing lights that you can also select the bubble features if you want that jacuzzi feel. Absolutely amazing. I totally enjoyed my stay and would def return again or even recommend. Very nice indeed.
The location is very good - just a bridge away from the center, and very close to most visiting spots. The room we stayed was located in the top floor, with a slanted ceiling. The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain, and the highest point is barely 190cm... but it was equipped with a nice jacuzzi tub.
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The service (front desk, restaurant) is quite good. There's a nice selection for breakfast, which includes fresh juice. The location is excellent. And the wifi works very well.
I stayed here for two nights and was shocked to be given a room without a window to the outside. (The two windows in the room look out onto an inside lobby area and are sealed shut.) This wouldn't be allowed in the US. In the event of a fire, the only way of the room was via the single door. The AC was off for the season so the only way to get fresh air was to turn on the heat. I asked if all the rooms are like this and was told the hotel has two such rooms. So be careful when booking that you don't get one of them. I was given a reduction on the price when I complained but by then I had already slept in an overheated stuffy room. Also, this hotel is a LONG walk from the Old Lyon metro station. 20 minutes at least.
This is a wonderful hotel. The location is perfect- right on the river in the old town. The rooms are excellent, but the most wonderful thing about this hotel is the staff. We had a very late plane but were helped out with late showers and assistance. I left sunglasses in the room and they made exceptional effort to pack these and send on. I could not recommend a place more.
It is an understated little boutique hotel in the perfect location to explore the historic part of town. The staff at the desk were extremely helpful and friendly. I loved the toiletries in the bathroom. I also liked that the toilet was in a separate room from the tub & sink.
This is a small hotel in a great location. Right next to the old town and just a bridge away from the center of Lyon for shopping and restaurants. The rooms with a view of the river are very spacious, especially for France. The decor is older, but clean and the bathrooms have been update very recently and have great lighting. Do check on what kind of bathroom it is though. Some have showers only, some showers and bathtubs and some just bathtubs which can be small for "larger" people. The air conditioning also was good. The breakfast room was very light and inviting and the staff there and at the front desk were very helpful and friendly and did speak English. That was great as we tried to use our few words in French, which is only polite when in another country, but we had no trouble communicating. The breakfast was fine, but if you are just looking for a pastry and coffee, there are little cafes close by. The breakfast had boiled eggs, cereals, breads and pastries, fruit, yougurt, coffee and tea for about 11 Euros. We would definitely stay here again with that wonderful view of the river and larger windows that opened.
Stayed for 2 nights after a river cruise. Lovely spacious room overlooking the quay. Windows double double glazed so very quiet. Nice big, comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly and efficient and also arranged for us to have an extra early breakfast as we had an early flight. The breakfast was very good and the coffee was superb. The old town and many of the sights are an easy walk from the hotel
This is a great centrally located hotel. I had a room with a view across the river. Very comfortable room, only complaint would be that there were only plastic cups and no spoons for the tea and coffee, just stirring sticks. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The hotel was 5 mins walk from the Old City which was full of charm. A continental breakfast could be purchased for 13 Euros per person. I would stay here again and recommend it for families, couples or singles.
