Are family of 6 booked two Lumiere suites, with 3 people in each room. We could not have been happier with the accomodation and location. The quality of the rooms is outstanding and both rooms were light filled. Our rooms were on level 3 and 4 and over looked the street below, but with double windows so incredibly quiet and dark at night (the curtains were complete block out). Location was unbelievable….we walked everywhere. Excellent value for money and would come back and stay here without considering any other options if we return to Lyon (which I hope we do!) Thanks for an amazing stay team. 10 out of 10 accomodation, location, staff, amenities etc

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Being in a very old building meant the room was unique. Some good points: excellent lighting, many electrical outlets, an espresso machine. Also although this was the Vieux Lyon area with many bars and restaurants, the double windows meant it was very quiet. Even within the room, one could not hear anything from the toilet room or bathroom room.

It’s a treat to have had 2 bathrooms in the room for a family of 3. The beds were very comfortable and gave us a restful sleep. The location is convenient—just a short walk to the old town. Hotel parking is a 7-minute walk.

Ideally situated in Old Lyon, however the hotel is very small. It's a 4* hotel & the room was well-equipped but there was no storage space. As an internal room, the only window looked out onto the stairway so you needed to keep curtain shut for any privacy.

Loved this hotel! It was central to everything and very walkable. We had a car and were able to park, but they do need to figure out a way to give your pass for parking without having to return it because you can’t easily drop up to the hotel The staff were very sweet and the hotel was so cool and eclectic would definitely stay there again

The hotel is in a perfect location right in the old town. It was a very quiet area. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was quite spacious for 3 adults, however the sofa bed was the kitchen area which was a little tight. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed staying here.
