Reviews of 21Royale

Quirky apartment in an old building and the high ceilings offset slightly cramped living space (there were 6 of us). Well located near the opera house, hotel de ville and museum and with a number of very highly rated restaurants on doorstep (inc Michelin stars). Great transport links to rest of city through metro. Good value too.

Slightly cramped in kitchen area as there were 6 of us and we needed all the other space for beds inc. the mezzanine (best for children). Also, the bathroom is off the main bedroom which meant washing arrangements slightly awkward. The age of the property means no aircon but this was not an issue for us as we actually had a rainy night and fans also helped. Parking a challenge and can be very pricey in Lyon

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The location is excellent – close to the city center but still quiet and comfortable. The apartment was very clean, well-equipped, and spacious enough for our family. The kids felt at home right away, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches that made our stay easy and relaxing. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly. A perfect choice for families visiting Lyon – we would be happy to come back!

The apartment was extremely dirty - e.g. a bag of old and dirty sheets was in the cupboard and most of the apartment had not been cleaned (floors, surfaces, fridge), which was quite disgusting. Also, the apartment was run down and the kitchen badly equipped. Parts of the stove did not work. To top it all, we were asked for a 250 € deposit in case we break something. There was not much to break as most things were broken/worn out already.

We felt the apartment had everything we needed for our stay including a couch, tv, dining table, all necessary cutlery and dishes and washing up liquid, however, a tea towel was not provided for drying was not provided. The owner has made great use of the space available. The shower is very good and modern with an overhead rainforest option or handheld shower hose - shower and sink are separate to the toilet. The location was very close to Hotel de Ville (City Hall) which has a metro station.

The loft where you sleep is difficult to get up and down via the stairs, you need to be careful to not hit your head. It is not possible to stand in the loft area, so it makes more sense to have somewhere to hang clothes downstairs, as you will likely get dressed downstairs in the living space. The apartment was on the 3rd floor, which is only accessible by stairs though we did not find this as problem but it may be important for others particularly with heavy suitcases. In this loft, there is no washing machine, however the neighbouring one does have one.

lovely size, lots of amenities

no air con, only a single corner fan.

The location of the property is close to old attractions in the city.

The place was infested with ants. The host indicated the cleaning staff didn't notice anything, which is hard to believe. The ants were on the counter in kitchen, the floor in the living room, the floor in the shower areas as well as all over the counter in the shower area.

Location - short distance to shops and restaurants. Very quiet and beds comfortable.

The inventory instructions were not clear and were annoying.

Location is perfect. Exceptional restaurants and bars on your doorstep, and easy access to everywhere including public transport. The apartment is attractive, modern, and overlooks the Rhone.

Little details like no coffee pods for the coffee machine, or dishwasher pods were disappointing.

Lovely period property , perfect ideal location so close to main hub. Studio / loft 2nd bedroom good double size but ladder going up not ideal for kids or over 60’s 🤗 bathroom great and overall spacious

Apartement is in the midle of the city.

less equipped kitchen, no toiletries

Pretty and clean. Great location - close to metro, shops and lovely area. The hostess was friendly but she only told us about the EUR 250 deposit required two days before we traveled when we were already on the plane with no WiFi. This should have been mentioned at the point of booking weeks before.

Amazing location, great neighbourhood. Loved the traditional building. Apartment spacious for 2 - nice linen /towels etc. Great shower. Access and Comms with the hosts all worked well

The conversion of a classic building into "loft-style" studio felt a little unfinished although perfectly functional

Location, amenities, ideal for families

Not good ventilation to the shower. Couch not very comfortable.

location is great, close to 2 metro lines and fine art museums the bed was not to confy but was not bad either; tv remote was not able to change channels and the host had no communication what so ever, they also need to add at least one more toilet paper roll since they are so small.

great location, decent kitchen facilities, good wifi

apartment was not as advertised on Booking.com, we expected a place on 1 level with parquet flooring. Instead we were allocated a mezzanine apartment with builder's OSB sheet flooring, and a bed upstairs. Access to the bed is via an unprotected stair which would not meet UK building regulations, and it is not possible to stand up properly around the bed area. Intermittent hot water so had to have a couple of cold showers

Great location in beautiful old building

Lack of storage space meant that the little floor space was taken up by suitcases, but for a two night stay this was fine

Comfortable French apartment with lots of charm. The beds were comfortable- including the sofa bed which was easy to put out and the loft was really cool Great little kitchenette was well supplied for meals in Location was brilliant. Minutes to bakery, supermarket, lively charming bars, coffee shops and restaurants - esp comes alive at night We were able to walk everywhere from the apartment including old and new town, basilica Notre dame and shops and other big attractions

Nothing it was great

Well organised, easy to access. Everything was as promised. Price reasonable. Nice appartment

There wasn't anything in particular
