Fabulous property, recently renovated, and located right in Vieux Lyon. Everything is walkable, there are many good restaurants, bars, ice cream, shops, etc. While the neighborhood feels like you have stepped back in time, the rooms are very modern and well appointed. We were a group of three female travelers and the room was able to be arranged perfectly for us with three separate sleeping spaces. I’d definitely go back.

Very quaint hotel in fabulous old town. Staff were great, and room very clean. Only issue was a/c not working yet, although listed as having a/c. However, locacation and character won out.

Great locations and comfortable rooms

Amazing location with a short walk to most of the major attractions of Lyon. Located in the old town you are minutes away from lots of restaurants and bars however the double glazing means none of the street sounds come into the room. The rooms were large and well maintained. Access was easy and everything just worked. Would recommend and stay again.

Exceptional boutique hotel with great staff

This hotel was exceptional. A great location near the river and other sights, we really enjoyed the service and room. The check-in staff are some of the best we've come across as they were very friendly and helpful. Our room was so lovely we didn't want to leave. We loved how eco it was with refillable water bottles in the lobby and loose leaf tea bags in the room. We would come back again no question.

We loved the location and that staff. Our only wish was for a fan or more ventilation in the 1st floor Traboule room we stayed in. Otherwise, how cool to stay in a Traboule! So much history here.

Convenient location in old town

It is renoveted old house in old town. Interesting layout. From the elevator, we need to walk some spiral staircases to get to our room, not convenient. When with luggage, it is kind of dangerous. The gabage cans are very small. Whe we check in, the front desk staff was not there and door is locked. We waited in the rain. Besides these, the stay was ok.
