We chose this hotel because of its location in Old Town Lyon. The location was exactly what we hoped! Walk to almost everything. Restaurants and shopping within easy walk. Our room was at the front of the Hotel but we never heard outside noise. Large room - #103 - and I would ask for the room again.

Great location in vieux Lyon. building with character; spiral stair, old building. charming and unique. best for solo traveler and or short stay., at least in the standard room we had. no storage for clothing and minimal free walking space. toilet space was separate from shower area which was convenient. not a modern building so Travellers should be aware that they might have to use stairs to access room...even tho there is an elevator.

This hotel was built in the 1400s and is of historical significance. It is a beautiful place to stay. The staff is very friendly and all of the room amenities were excellent. We had a suite with two full bathrooms and two bedrooms it was facing the inner courtyard so the room was very quiet. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
