Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a definite French feel with newly refurbished rooms to a high standard, retaining original features. The rooms are very comfortable with a bottle of wine but no opener provided. The location is superbly right in the center of Lyon, within walking distance of all the sights, and the dining offers complimentary bottled water at the door. However, there is a very narrow area between the buildings where all the ventilation tubes are concentrated.
The hotel has a definite French feel and offers rooms with a bottle of wine but no opener. The view over the ceilings is charming, and the big bed adds to the comfort. However, the price might be a bit high compared to the value received.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The newly refurbished rooms were beautifully done, but a small wardrobe can be a bit limiting. The service was exceptional, and the location is truly superb for exploring the city. Dining was a delightful experience with complimentary bottled water at the door. However, there were some minor drawbacks, like the absence of a wine opener in the bedroom.
