The 4.2/5 Google rating reflects consistent praise for its authentic character and personalized service approach.
This gem of a hotel popped up here on Google. I booked our room direct with their website and was astonished at such a grwat price for the area. Our room was huge by french stabdards with a full bath. My companion wanted a bath but the tub stopper didnt work. The entire hotel is fresh, elegant, but with a hip vibe. It reinede me of The M hotel in Seattle. We were on the 5th floor overlooking the street. December 30 and it was very cold outside. The lobby and cafe were warm and inviting. Everywhere a comfortable nook and space to relax. Staff were always friendly and outgoing. This was a special hotel near every attraction in the heart of Lyon. 5 💚 for sure.
