Perfect stay with lots of extra amenities. Staff was amazing and luggage hold was super helpful as we wanted to explore Lyon without carrying our bags around. We loved the location and extra thoughtful amenities like coffee machine and places to hang out. Merci pour tout!

Great hotel, beautiful room, and so nicely done and the staff were so hospitable and nice. Definitely a place to come back. Only thing I didn’t get is why they didn’t have a full mini bar. I would suggest for them to have it.
