Reviews and Ratings
The hotel feels like a historic apartment with a living room and a quiet entrance but has a damp smell. The spiral staircase bed upstairs and downstairs bathroom could be dangerous in the dark.
The hotel offers a mix of experiences with dated and modern rooms, stunning city views, and a relatively high cost. The friendly service and amazing restaurant compensate for some awkward room features.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, lovely, and offered a magnificent view of the old town and Lyon. The Michelin-starred gourmet food was a highlight, but some areas in the rooms need a refreshment of paint. The service was top-notch with professional, kind staff always ready to assist. The location, though up on a hill, was excellent with helpful and friendly staff, but prepare for some hills and steps. The dining experience was superb, offering delicious and healthy options, though a bit limited for a French Relais and Chateaux. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel offers a unique experience with Michelin starred gourmet food, a nice atmosphere, and very comfortable rooms complete with modernized bathrooms, a private terrace, and even a sauna. The service is exceptional, with caring and helpful staff who are welcoming and speak English fluently. The location, though up on a hill, is breathtaking and luxurious, perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the city. Dining is a delightful experience, especially with the famous Lyonnais praline brioche and refreshing juices. Overall, a fantastic choice for a memorable stay in Lyon.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered great views of the city and the river, but the layout was a bit inconvenient. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and professional staff, but some aspects like the cold spot in the restaurant were noticeable. The location was fantastic for its views but challenging for those who struggle with hills. The dining options were tasty but pricey. The facilities were good overall.
The hotel had wonderfully comfortable rooms with easy access, but the bathroom setup was a bit inconvenient. The service was exceptional and super helpful, especially considering our limited French vocabulary. The location, while lovely and with a great terrace for breakfast, was marred by unaddressed wasp swarms. The dining options were delightful, although the sparrow visitors could be off-putting. The facilities were top-notch.
The hotel room was quite large and comfortable, but I decided to check out immediately and drive to Geneva to stay at the Four Seasons where they know about service. The room was overpriced and not a proper suite.
The hotel offers a nice stay with clean and modern rooms providing amazing city views. The service is mostly professional, although some aspects could be improved. The location is ideal for exploring Lyon, but there are occasional inconveniences. Dining is enjoyable with a variety of options. Overall, a good value for the money.
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms offered a unique layout with a spiral staircase leading to a cozy bed upstairs and a potentially hazardous bathroom downstairs in the dark. The beautiful view of Lyon from the terrace was breathtaking, and the private sauna provided a perfect winter retreat. The service was top-notch, with helpful recommendations on exploring Lyon and enjoying authentic cuisine. The location was nothing short of spectacular, offering magnificent views across Lyon and easy access to the city's main attractions.
