When we had a problem it was dealt with quickly efficiently and nicely. Lovely staff
2.0 / 10.0
The room is exceptionally small; if you are travelling with a companion or carrying substantial luggage, movement becomes decidedly difficult.
It is advisable not to use the air conditioning, regardless of the room temperature. When switched on, it circulates visible dust and debris, raising understandable concerns about the condition of the hotel’s ventilation system (as illustrated in the photograph).
As for practical amenities, there is no porter service and no assistance with luggage. Rooms are not conveniently located near the lift, requiring guests to carry their bags up stairs.

Excellent location. Great breakfast.
One bathroom had a strange smell. One of our rooms was extremely small with tiny bathroom you could hardly move in.

Amazing position. It is a beautiful part of Lyon. The staff were friendly, lovely & helpful.
The layout of the room was strange. It was supposed to fit 4 adults & really doesn’t. My sons barely fit in their beds.

The location is fantastic for seeing the best of Lyon. Breakfasts are good and the rooms spacious enough and warm!!! This is a characterful and very pleasant place to stay with very nice staff.

This charming 14th century hotel is centrally located in the old quarter of Lyon, and walking distance to many restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Our room was well fitted and kettle & Nespresso machine was appreciated - NO fridge.
We found our room quite small and cramped, and the shower room was also very "neat", but acceptable for an overnight stop - for a longer stay, it would be worth reserving a larger room. We booked partly because PRIVATE parking was confirmed, but on arrival, we were directed to a public multi-storey car park some distance from the hotel. It is not possible to drive to the front door of the hotel, although this of course meant the pedestrian area was quiet at night.

Fantastic location in Vieux Lyon, right in the middle of the super tourist area, close to many wonderful sites. Really cool old property that has been completely renovated.
The room was the smallest we have ever been in -smaller than Paris, NY, Tokyo, etc. It also was only reachable via several stairs from the elevator. Not a big deal but almost killed ourselves on step down into room that was not signaled. The tiny tiny closet that held the toilet and the other tiny closet that held the shower also had a very strong, unpleasant smell of asparagus or something similar.
10.0 / 10.0
the room was small but great quality of materials and design - little to no space to hang clothing, so everything needed to stay in our little suitcase (not a problem for us since we only stayed 2 days but could be a problem for longer stay). great location in the old part of the city with easy access on foot to the shopping/restaurant area
nothing that we didn't like, our stay was perfect - just the comment regarding little to no cabinet space for clothing, to bear in mind for longer stay

Room was extremely small, making it difficult to unpack and get to closet.

The building is beautiful and old with a tasteful renovation in a good location
Rooms are TINY! There’s not enough room for a couple to have two suitcases open at a time and the water pressure in the shower is terrible.

Location was great
The parking was very difficult to access, not helped by the closing of the gate too quick to allow access, please have thoughts for the weary traveller

Room, location, fresh/hot croissants during breakfast, staff's friendliness helpfulness and responsiveness, science decor
A/C wasn't cold enough, a fan would've helped (would've opened the window but there were insects flying in)

Staff were lovely, location was fantastic,on the edge of busy place but still quiet. Beautiful old building with thoughtful integration of hotel rooms
Room was very small, no fridge, housekeeping a bit hit &miss, I ended up with 3 bathrobes and 1 bath towel, access was challenging, while there is a lift, i still had to navigate several stone spiral steps , breakfast was by advance order only

It was nicely located, and a room was very comfortable. The bed was especially nice. We liked having large windows that would open.
They were very slow to respond to our questions about getting to the hotel prior to our arrival. Some of the people at the front desk were not especially helpful. however, Rose was a miracle worker. She went out of her way to help us.
4.0 / 10.0
The hotel has a great location and the rooms were very clean, but unfortunately, those were the only positive aspects of our stay
Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. There was a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the pipes, making the bathroom very uncomfortable to use. The room had no natural light whatsoever, which made it feel quite gloomy. Staff interactions were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The only positive aspect was the central location.

Friendly staff and very responsive. We received an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner and the croissants they sent us with upon our early morning departure were the best we had on our trip. Was happy with how our concerns were addressed when I contacted them after our stay. The location was ideal - right in the heart of everything we wanted to see.
Our room was on the ground floor and I think we would have liked the rooms and had a better experience on the higher floors more.

The hotel is located in the center of the old town. The hotel is made as if you live in a tower, which is great. It is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, but the hotel is quiet and cozy. There are attractions near the hotel. The staff is polite and ready to help.
The room is very small. There was sewerage smell from the shower. There was no shampoo or shower gel in the bathroom, just a soap.

VERY small, dark and the layout was very difficult and inconvenient

The location in the Vieux Lyon is excellent to move around. The hotel itself just opened some months ago after whole refurbishment of an old college. The work that has been done is amazing. The rooms are chic without ostentation.
The staff has been absolutely great. They took time every time we had questions. Our room was just amazing: spacious, practical and comfortable.

The hotel is perfectly located in the old town but is a peaceful oasis! The room was compact but so well designed and with quality finishes. The front of house staff were so helpful and welcoming.

The location was the best thing for me. It meant I could walk everywhere. It was a very stylish hotel and perfect for a one night culture based trip
Possibly the breakfast was a little sparse

Perfect location, small but charming room, clean, nice English speaking stuff, nice bathtub, comfortable bed. Would definitely stay there again (but have breakfast elsewhere).
The room was a bit run down but still charming. The breakfast was ok but not 4 star like. Coffee is served in paper cups with small plastic cans of creamer.

Chambre exiguë, odeurs d'égouts dans la salle de bain, petit déjeuner insipide et le sentiment de déranger l'unique et peu présente personne d'accueil.

Az elhelyezkedése.
A szoba elfogadhatatlan. A wc olyan kicsi, hogy nem lehet elférni benne. A reggeli 21 eur-ért kritikán aluli. A recepció a reggeliztető és a szemét kihordást is itt teszik. Ez nem 4 csillag, ez egy autópálya melletti 2 csillag, de az tizede enbek az árnak. A szálloda autentikus, gyakorlatilag egy antik “irodaház” lett átalakítva. Az eredetéből kevés maradt, a lépcsőt leszámítva. Ha nyagy bőröndel érkezel, nagyon kellenetlen.

Unser Zimmer war extrem klein, kein Tageslicht durch Fenster zum Innenhof, im Badezimmer hat es sehr schlecht aus dem Abfluss gerochen.

Zentral gelegen; sehr schönes, historisches Gebäude, sehr stilvoll. Gutes Frühstück, freundliches Personal.
Unser Zimmer war, entsprechend dem Alter des Gebäudes, sehr eng. Für Menschen mit eingeschränkter Bewegungsfähigkeit geht das nicht.
