Unusual location in the middle of the river, very comfortable and close to the main centre.
Amazing location in the middle of the river. Beautifully done up apartment. Friendly hostess and a fabulous French breakfast. It is an unusual location very close to the main center which can be reached easily by car or bus. Lovely little restaurant over the road.
We were lucky to be able to book at short notice as in the off season. Advise booking well in advance otherwise.

Beautiful historic property!
Beautiful property built around 1000AD. The hosts were amazing and we loved the rooms. Very clean and comfortable. We are coming again in a couple of months because we loved it so much. It’s also very close to Michelin star dining.

Something totally unique.
Truly amazing, a beautifully restored Monastery on an island in Lyon. This is a unique experience of a lifetime. Wonderful hosts. If it was possible to give more than 10/10, I would.
I loved everything about it.

Beautiful setting, great host. The amenities were amazing. We were travelling with our three month old and they were so kind to provide a baby cot, a diaper pail, a baby rocker and a changing pad.

I would love to stay here again when passing through Lyon
The hosts at check in were very friendly and accomodating. The room was so beautiful and the garden too. The room felt like it had just been renovated, no spots or marks anywhere. Lovely place
The parking are is a bit tight, so maybe with a really big car you might have some problems

Excellent!
The loft is really cozy and fully equipped to accommodate a family. All the utensils are new and modern. the beds are very comfortable. The view of the place is amazing: it’s located in an island, in the middle of the Saône River. It also has a beautiful garden just beside the property, close to the river. The (paid) breakfast is delicious. The owners of the place are very helpful and friendly.
if you have heavy luggage, you’ll struggle a little bit to get them upstairs. The blackout curtains of the couple room don’t seal the windows completely. Thus, if you want to sleep a little bit more and avoid the sunlight in the morning, you’ll have to fix the curtains on the wall somehow.

Fabulous stay in Lyon
What a fantastic, beautiful and unique place to stay! You are on your own island which makes it special. The living room was spectacular and the biggest place we have ever stayed. It would be great for a family reunion. Benedicte was wonderful and communication was great via Whatsapp.
You would definitely need a car to get to town/lyon center.

Lovely stay
We had a lovely stay. Great host, the facilities were fantastic. A very well stocked Coffee and Tea station. Well equipped kitchen. Room decor, bed,heating everything was fantastic.
There is a straight bus to the city centre.
The shower was slightly small compared to the room. But no complaints.
Monday and Tuesday morning we woke to squeaky noises of footsteps from the floor above. That was slightly annoying.
Overall a good stay.

It was an absolutely magical experience that made us feel special every time we crossed the bridge.
We only had breakfast one day because the boulangerie within walking distance was so wonderful.
We worried that the location outside of Lyon Centre in the 9th arrondissement would be too far for us to reach important sites. However, with a car, access to major tourist sites and restaurants was easy and took less than 20 minutes. Basically, we stayed along the Soane and had no trouble reaching the location. Eventually, we learned to find parking on the car GPS and it made our trips much easier.
The Ile Barbe is a magical location like being in a woods outside a small town despite its location in the major city of Lyon. The 9th arrondissement had all of the amenities we required -- several pharmacies, several excellent restaurants, an excellent boulangerie (bread and patisserie), a fromagerie, and a well-stocked American-style grocery store.
The Suites offered a lovely apartment with a large garden in back of the building, somewhat untamed but full of fruit trees and bordering the Soane. We wondered continually about the history of the property with a plain stuccoed back and a wildly carved late medieval/renaissance front facing the Soane. Was it a crypt or a destroyed Abbey chapel in the garden? Was the guard tower built to protect the Abbey landing?
While we were there, work began on at least one other lodging in the old Abbot's house. It appeared to be a smaller apartment with wonderful arched ceilings. A creative architect seems to have been engaged to remodel the historic rooms to grand vacation apartments worthy of the lovely setting.
We also enjoyed the small park near the entrance to the Ile and the music festivals on two Sundays that brought out families from the 9th arrondissement for picnics and play.
Benedicte and her family were available whenever we had a question or needed additional supplies.
We all agreed the Suites were a real find (though not inexpensive) and we would be lucky to find them available again if we revisit Lyon.
We rented a car so we could take day trips around Lyon. Without a car, it would have been much more difficult to get around and we never fully understood the public transit system. More information about how to use the Lyon metro or bus system would have been helpful because the Ile itself was wholly walkable.
The Suites makes laundry available but some of our party would have liked more information about local laundromats or "wash and fold."
At this time of year, the wonderful garden along the Soane was full of bugs, so we weren't able to enjoy it as much as planned. Suggestions would have been helpful, assuming the bugs would have listened.

Though there is no concierge, but since we arrived earlier than the check-in time from the train staion, the owner got to the property specially from office to open a space for us to store the luggages. The ower couple is so nice throughout our staying. The living room is greatly gorgeous. I also like the toilettes, as the towals are soft and new, even the toilet paper is with highest quality. Super recommend to my friends.

deception, not according to expectations
the owners were nice.
cold water. the photos are great, but does not tell the whole true, if you book one room you won’t see anything of what the photos tell. I thought it has common spaces (lobby/restaurant) and not. far away from city and not worth it.

Amazing and inspiring location, kids loved exploring both outside and inside. Historical charm, all modern amenities - perfect boulangerie nearby for all your food needs.
Single use toiletries in plastic - a dispenser would be much more environmentally friendly.
