The room was clean and staff were helpful. Late check out (12pm) was good. Only thing is that you have to leave the key at the front reception and there is one elevator (I was level 5 so stairs weren’t really feasible with luggage). As long as you are not in a rush anywhere it’s fine.

Our stay was great. I would have liked a fridge in the room. It is a beautiful, old hotel with a lot of character. I would have preferred hardwood in our room from a cleanliness point of view. The breakfast was good and the staff were great. We also had dinner in the restaurant, which was terrific.

Everything was perfect except the room was a little outdated, no USB sockets, no shower curtain/door - the water from the shower spills on the floor. The temperature in the room was perfect without annoying A/C drafts.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great hotel located a short walk from all sorts of attractions including: restaurants (brasseries/bouchons), two rivers (the Rhone and Sone). It was surrounded by quaint buildings from the 1700s/1800s. It was not far from a funicular (a hillside train) station that takes you to the well preserved ruins of a Roman theatre at the top of the hill as well as near a beautiful cathedral. It was a very nice mix of modern and vintage. Loved our time there - wish that we could have stayed longer than the two days we visited.

The location is excellent for touring/transportation. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet comprehensive. Bed was firm but comfortable. Air conditioning was iffy. We needed to move rooms as we and staff had difficulty setting up the A/C. We also suggest a rubber mat in the slippery tub/shower.
