We are a family of 4 and had a room with the bunk beds. There was enough space for the 4 of us. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A lovely quaint hotel - we really enjoyed our stay.

A small boutique hotel. Comfortable bed, usb ports beside beds, good Wi-Fi and an excellent front staff. Lots of restaurants a couple of blocks away. We didn’t spent much time in the small room. It did have everything you need for a good nights sleep.

This is a well located hotel for central Lyon. It has a delightful reception, lounge and breakfast restaurant area. The breakfast although 16 euros is great with good choice. The staff could not be more helpful. The rooms do let this hotel down, as they are small and have been updated in a more contemporary style. The curtains are not well positioned to cover the windows and so let in a lot of light and do not provide privacy. The bathrooms are very small and some are in need of updating.

Hotel is well located with quiet and clean rooms and very friendly staff. I was in a double room and it was small but comfortable for one. I think the smaller room would have been a struggle. Breakfast was good. Only downside was that the mattress was quite lumpy. Overall, a solid 3 star hotel.

The hotel was a good surprise. We had a cozy room but it was enough to host our family with 2 small kids. The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The hotel location is very convenient, close to the Perrache train station (walkable) and with plenty of restaurants close by. We had a very comfortable stay.

Easy checking in and out. Kind, polite and helpful staff. Decent hotel, near public transport and tourist attractions. My room was a bit noisy early in the morning/night due to deliveries to the businesses around. It was ok as it was in Winter, but in warmer times, could be a problem. Breakfast was fine, although quite basic. Hotel is an old building but it was clean.
