    The breakfast. If it was not for the employees, the thing was a disaster. No buffet, limited selections. Terrible.

    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

    Some of the rooms are a little on the small side, but for a city trip and value for money, this is a real find.

    Lovely little hotel in a historical building, right in the very centre of old Lyon. Fabulous breakfast in the morning and very friendly staff (we even got a room upgrade).

    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

    Staff were lovely, location was fantastic,on the edge of busy place but still quiet. Beautiful old building with thoughtful integration of hotel rooms

    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.

    It was nicely located, and a room was very comfortable. The bed was especially nice. We liked having large windows that would open.

    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.

    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.

    The stone staircase was a little challenging with luggage. And we had challenges with the AC controls. (User error I am sure).

    Old World Charm combined with the location within classic historic district.

    The rooms are extremely small with almost no space to unpack. The pipe smell in the washroom is very unpleasant. 4 stars and the price seem rather high for what you get.

    The staff is super nice and tries to accommodate every wish. Breakfast is very good. The location in old town is great.

    The breakfast was overpriced. A tiny piece of baguette with butter and jam and a small glass of juice with coffee for nearly 10 euros. And then the larger breakfast was super expensive and had way too much stuff. That left you with no good options. Also, it was too bad that there was no privacy in the room (courtyard view) if you opened the curtains. Cafe style curtains would have solve this problem.

    It was a great location, the room (a suite, actually) was incredibly spacious, and the building was really interesting because it was so old, with some original detail.
