    WiFi was basically non existent on the 2nd floor and reception bad if you were to use your own data. There’s no aircon just a fan, this was fine for me in September heat but some people might struggle during the summer. The street was loud at night at the weekend but that’s to be expected staying in a city.

    Hotel is in an excellent location. Just a few minutes walk to all attractions, about 5 minutes walk to the bridge to the old town, and most recommend restaurants within a 10min walk. Easy to access by both public transport and taxi from airport. The staff were very friendly and it was easy to get in and out of the building when staff were not around via access code, this made it feel safe. Rooms were small but as someone who was solo travelling it was a perfect size.

    The stairs were tricky but the description does warn you of this. I think the lighting on the stairwells could be improved. Also we were locked out on our first night as the bar closes at 8 which we hadn't realised and we hadn't taken the entry code with us, however this was probably our fault for not checking with the hotel staff before we went out to eat.

    The hotel was very quirky which we liked and the location was excellent, it was walking distance from everything we wanted to see

    the room was a little small and without air conditioning. luckily, we were in Lyon in July with very mild temperatures (around 70F)!

    we loved the staff and location! we highly recommend the breakfast as well.

    Great location, great staff, good bed, access via a code - no need to wait for the staff to check in

    Tiny room but okay for a night or two. Stairs were a challenge for older person. Property was Euro in that the windows open onto an atrium like space.

    Quaint and easy to enter even when staff is not there. Steep stairs but Jules was quick to get me up to my room. Superb location. Nice breakfast.

    While the room has a ceiling fan it was still hot enough to warrant opening the windows. Like this, I woke up several times at night because of noises from the neighbors. Jet-lagged people beware:)

    Great staff, very helpful. The room on a third floor (2ème etage) was of adequate size. Great location in downtown. Beautiful decoration. Very good breakfast.

    Fantastic place to stay in Lyon

    There is no elevator(lift) and we had a room on the third floor. Going up a spiral staircase with multiple bags was not fun. Had to make multiple trips. No air conditioning. Reception is only open during certain times - contacted on WhatsApp for breakfast but never heard back. Had to make sure that we stop there when someone was around.

    The room was decently sized, and modern. Very comfortable bed. Ceiling fan - glad it wasn't hot yet! Location was great - near a lot of stores and restaurants, but quiet during the night. Across from a church that is being renovated so there wasn't a great view. Breakfast was fresh and curated daily - from locally sourced stores. Very kind and helpful. The building itself was very rustic and cool.

    There are a few steps if you are on the third floor but the exercise did us good ;)

    Location just PERFECT! Right in a heart of center. Close to metro station Cordeliers. But almost any point reachable by foot in half an hour. Bed mattress very comfortable. Easy anytime hotel access by having door code. Also surprisingly quiet room👍 Staff very kind but could have some more english language skills😊

    No lift so you'll have to climb stairs to get to the higher floor. It will be a challenge for older folks or if you are carrying large luggages.

    Great location. Right next to a church in a historical building. Close to the metro station and you can walk anywhere.

    No complaints. We stayed in Lyon 2 nights and probably should have done 3.

    We loved the location, and even though it is in a central area it is very quiet at night. The bar downstairs is great for a coffee in the morning or a drink before going out. Staff was friendly. The decor all around the hotel was fun and interesting, even the rooms all have unique paintings or designs.

    I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a quieter hotel. Despite being right in the center so perfect for getting around and seeing everything, it was completely quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was very good.

    There is no elevator in the building and the staircase is spiral. The room was very small and cramped. We had to lay our suitcases on a bed in a separate alcove.it was hard to move between the bedside and the wall beside it.

    The location was terrific for accessing the sites of Lyon. The staff were friendly and helpful. Check in was easy for late night arrival.
