This hotel was generally a good choice for your stay in Lyon. The location is its greatest asset - convenient for the old town and the central shopping area. Bedrooms are a bit small, especially for a hotel of this standard and price but that isn't unusual for France. The hotel trains hotel and catering staff and generally this shows.... More

Fabulous value for money. Very charming hotel, still maintaining the grandeur of old times. Excellent location - you can walk to both the city centre and the Old City. Beautiful surroundings. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the service is impecable. More

A 5 day gourmet break was made better by this stylish hotel. Friendly staff and good service coupled with a great, but pricey breakfast and a big comfortable bed. All within a few metres of Place Bellecour, great shop and some great Bouchons. The only negative was a small bathroom. More

We checked in to be told out room was not ready and that we should return in an hour. Upon return the same person that we spoke to initially forgot who we were and couldnt even locate our reservation! 20 mins later we were in our royal suite which was not so 'royal'. There were water stains on the walls,... More

Really a fantastic hotel and a fantastic staff. All was arranged in the best possible way: the check in, the valet parking, the restaurants booking, etc. If we come to Lyon again we will definitely chose this hotel again. More

Hotel we feel closer to a 4 star and forgive us for the French, who considered as something special antique! We prefer modern hotel that has hot water running in the bathroom! Bit bigger lobby, breakfast price is reasonable and not 21 euros. But, the hotel is in the heart of the city and good location, hotel staff excellent and... More

The hotel is perfectly located in Lyon's centre, close to great shopping streets and many restaurants. As it was recommended to pre-book car parking, we did so and it turned out to have been a very good tip - there is very limited stopping (let alone parking) space in front of the hotel. Also the other services were good, and... More

I almost get emotional if I think back at my stay in Lyon: perfect weekend and wonderful hotel! Super well located, very nicely decorated, very nice room and gorgeous breakfast. We loved the Jazzy lounge as well! The Hotel is a great miix between a grand Hotel (old building with old details) and a modern one (renovated bathrooms and great... More

I can't fault the place, really and delivered far more than it's advertisement. It is right in the middle of town overlooking the beautiful Place Bellecours in that thin isthmus between the Saone and Rhone Rivers. The next street over is a shoppers delight of old antique stores, galleries and clothes shops (thankfully free of the big international brands) The... More
