This is a great place to stay within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the old town. In addition, it has a charming 'old France' ambiance. Of course, that means the rooms and bathrooms are tiny, but it is clean and cozily comfortable. Nice linens. Parking is several blocks away at a sister hotel, unless you choose a public parking...

Lyon is best entered from the motorway and minutes after leaving the motorway you are in Place Bellecour, the immense square at this impressive city's heart with an easily-accessed car park beneath. Near one corner of the square, the hotel has a couple of drop-off car spaces but the traffic was surprisingly light in our time there at the end... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay. We had a large room that faced the square. The room was sound proof so there was no noise from the street.

I booked the hotel due to excellent tripadvisor reviews, I would never normally book a 2 star hotel, so was... More

Massive king size bed which is very comfortable. The bathroom is small but sufficient. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast is not so great for the price. Coffee wasn't nice and had... More

My partner and I have just returned from a lovely three-night stay at this hotel. We were in room 4 at the front of the hotel - it was absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful original features such as the parquet flooring, marble fireplace etc., and good views over Place Bellecour. Very spacious. Very comfortable super-kingsize bed, and the room was cosy:... More

The location between the 2 main shopping streets in the heart of Lyon is perfect, there are many lovely restaurants and cafés nearby. The staff at the frontdesk was super helpful and the room was spacious by french standards. Confortable beds and lovely atmosphare, no complaints. Really enjoyed our stay! More

I was quite surprised when I saw how spacious the room was. The bathroom and shower was fairly large by french standards. Front desk was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Location was great- right in the heart of Lyon near a great shopping street-Rue Victor Hugo, metro not very far off and large central square. Very pleasant and comfortable stay!... More
