A lovely find in a very convenient location, although surrounded by designer boutiques, there's heaps of other shopping that is easily accessible. Also, about 10 minutes walk across the river to the old city, which is extraordinary. Just up the road from Place Bellecour, where you'll find the Tourism Office where you get loads of information about Lyon, tours etc and they also organise great walking tours. Restaurants absolutely galore minutes from the hotel. We had a double room and our children a twin room just next door (not interconnecting).

Both rooms were fine and reasonably sized, although the fittings in the children's twin room were slightly outdated. But rooms clean, comfortable and quiet (we were on the 4th floor) and secure. Staff were extraordinarily helpful and cheery - we received a wonderful welcome from the young woman on duty when we arrived - after 900pm sometime. All speak English, WIFI effective, no problem. Breakfast was good value at 9 Euros for full continental and eggs you boil yourself. Absolutely marvellous wine shop just around the corner. Would stay here again no problem.

Summary A very friendly although slightly quirky, small hotel. Would happily stay here again as it is a find, offering great value, but not glamour!

Plusses
Friendly very helpful staff, who all speak excellent English.
Great location in Lyon’s classy shopping area – Cartier is down the street and all the big name labels are close by. Beware though – when people say the shops are closed on Sundays, they mean absolutely all of them! The old town, across the River Saone is a short 10-minute walk. Plenty of restaurants close by and the staff and owner were willing and generous with advice and information as to restaurants and sightseeing.
Secure off-street parking nearby (say 100 metres walk) but there is a one-way system! This operates via a discounted card-access system, available from the hotel and which we booked in advance. Upon arrival it is necessary to stop in the narrow street, operate the car’s hazard lights and get someone to come from the hotel and show the way to the car park. We have now travelled enough in France to know that this process (blocking the traffic) is accepted and does not cause (visible or audible) irritation and is passively accepted contrary to expectations!
Plentiful continental breakfast offering with jams, boiled eggs, cheese and charcuterie, although the coffee was a bit weak for my taste (yes, unusual in France!)
Great value
Secure, but slightly daunting as the building appears to be part apartments and there is a buzzer entry door on the ground (zero) floor with reception on the first floor. Entry to each floor is also via a locked door. Access is via a dreary staircase or the common European mini-lift for a maximum of 2 people.
Wi-Fi works reasonably well. Its the variety that requires a login number and a password number every time it is accessed, but it does work well and the hotel is generous in providing log-ins for multiple devices.
Tea and coffee making facilities available in room.

Minuses
Very dark hallway outside our room on the 3rd floor
No in-room safe
Old fashioned shower curtain arrangement over the bath.
Smallish room (no 34).

This hotel is absouletly to avoid, I was ther in last march and we regrette to choose it,as we had no choice to look for another hotel it was night.room too small very bad facilities,dirty bathroom.It was experience that I'll redo.

Stayed over New Years. Was apprehensive when we pulled up, Double parked to unload baggage. Worried when sign pointed up a fight of stairs to "Reception". They immediately directed me to park in underground garage at corner. Pay to park, but hotel has discount pass. Staff is excellent. There is an elevator to the small, traditionally decorated rooms. Breakfasts are quite good, with a great assortment. And they were happy to make coffee or tea after a day of exploring. The hotel is perfectly situated for sightseeing. A short walk across the bridge over the Soane River to the cathedral. An easy walk to the Rhone, and with the Metro the entire city is available. Can't say enough about the variety and quality of Lyon Restaurants.
