    Given how difficult it was to circulate with the car in the hotel area, having to return the parking card to the hotel reception was very inconvenient.

    The location and the hotel itself were top notch and the staff was extremely nice. I loved the fact that they called in advance to organise the parking and they booked a really nice restaurant nearby for me and my kids.

    Location is far from center and require transportation. Connectivity to train station is also a concern, requiring taxi.

    Room is big enough and very clean, terrace is nice.

    Beautiful hotel with incredible views a little out of the city centre

    Arrival - there was work going on around the hotel so all the green areas and parts of the road were dug up - not the hotels fault but not a great first impression. We had booked a car parking space and had arrived after a 5 hour drive. We were tired and very hot. The parking space was in an underground car park near the hotel but the directions were poor and it was very frustrating and tiresome locating the entrance and then trying to navigate back... Location is a little far out but manageable with taxis to get to the old part of the city.

    Beautiful hotel and a superb breakfast. Room was small but perfectly appointed with very high ceilings. The bar / breakfast terrace has literally one of the best views in Lyon, fantastic. Reception team were very kind when we arrived, tired out from a long hot drive, and offered us water and assisted with getting acts to the room.

    Minor issue really, but our stay would have been better if we could have had twin beds for our teenage sons.

    Beautiful location on the hillside, with stunning views over Lyon. Very well presented hotel with comfortable and stylish rooms. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast.

    We couldn't have picked a better hotel for our first trip to Lyon. We felt like movie stars staying in this gorgeous hotel. The staff were very helpful and professional. Our room was of a good size with a very high ceiling, which made it feel even more spacious. Modern furnishings added to the classy style. The bed was of a good size and very comfy. We had a gorgeous black marble tiled bathroom with a delightful rain shower and nice smelling products. Outside in the courtyard, there is a bar open to all with views over Lyon and the river, very relaxing and romantic. There was even a private patio area a few steps down for guests if there were no seats left in the bar. It is important to note that there are a lot of hills and steps in this area. It was fine for us who used it for extra exercise but not easy for people with mobility issues.

    The hotel was very difficult to locate owing to road works and one way streets. Parking in the streets was 80 euros a day. Parking was kindly agreed in the hotel enclosure.

    Breakfast was excellent and good value. Option to eat inside or out was welcome.

    The outside visitors had the best seating on the terrace. It did get a bit loud during the evening with outside visitors but..they were just having a good time :-) and since our room faced away from the noisy area it did not really bother us. The graffiti in the area and bad smells in some streets around the area were quite off putting.

    Friendly and helpful staff is top of our list, very important for travelers from foreign country - we were super impressed with the staff - thank you! The building is impressive. A real fort converted into a super hotel. The spectacular views of the river Rhone and city of Lyon. Very clean and comfortable room. Highly recommended.
