Great place to stay right in the middle of the experience with restaurants and shopping all close by. There was a market along the river the morning we woke up. The hotel was quiet clean and comfortable.

Great location and very walkable. Nice staff. Older hotel and fans in room were not enough for the summer heat when we were there.

Great location, friendly & helpful staff, comfortable room, availability to purchase a delicious breakfast—we’d definitely stay here again. The only caveat is that there are a lot of stairs, so it’s more ideal for those who travel light.

There is no air conditioning, which makes sleeping there in the summer brutal. Location and staff were perfect.

Great location and friendly staff
Room was clean and comfortable. Nice French breakfast was served. All staff members I encountered were very kind. My room was off the lobby so it was a little noisy in the morning when other guests were having breakfast. Overall a great stay and a good value for such a central location

Convenient for Lyon city centre, everywhere is walkable and bars/restaurants are within 5 minutes walk. The only thing to let it down is the lack of a lift which for us, personally, wasn't an issue, but it could be for anyone with restricted mobility.

It is exactly what you expect from a 2 star hotel. It does what it says on the tin and it does it fairly well.
You are warned about the staircase situation, granted. This being said it is ludicrously difficult to manage with luggage.

Loved the area. The room was lovely in a quaint way. The bathroom/toilet were very good. Lots of stairs (eight flights) but that wasn't a problem per se. The staff were evry accommodating and friendly. Would stay there again and recommend it as a place to sfay in Lyon.

The property was in a great location with a beaitiful courtyard right outside the window and is near the center of town making it easy to get around. The staff was also incredibly helpful and easy to talk too. The building itself is on the older side (which is to be expected) and could get a little bit noisy at night since it's right next to the theatre but it's not super bad and was mostly just distant conversations. Overall it was a great spot and I woukd definently stay here again.

This hotel had no elevator with reception on 3rd floor and our room on 5th floor. This hotel is not suitable for people with heath conditions or poor mobility. The room had no air conditioning and no safe or fridge. The breakfast offered was minimal and overpriced.
We do not recommend this hotel.

Not fun to climb two stories (in an old building) to reach the reception with the carry ons to find that you are staying on the 4th floor. The location is excellent.
