The hotel was very conveniently located and had a great river view. The rooms are large and there was a good selection of channels for the English speaking clientele. The only complaint I have is that the bed was so hard that I had to ask for an extra duvet to sleep on and it was still really hard even with that padding.

“Our stay was fantastic! The front desk team, along with the rest of the staff, were exceptionally warm, attentive, and well-informed. The hotel’s location couldn’t have been better—ideal for exploring the main attractions on foot.”

“We arrived late, but were pleasantly surprised by our accommodations. The rooms with river-facing balconies are absolutely worth it. The spa and pool were a lovely bonus—wish we had more time to enjoy them. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Lyon.”

“The front desk was fantastic. They arranged transport to the train in Lyon. We were on our way to the Boscolo property in Nice and pick up transportation there was also arranged. Wonderful dinner recommendations as we wanted authentic Lyonnaise food. Highly recommend.”

“Wonderful spacious room with central AC, shower was wide and generous with outstanding water pressure and the bathroom has a toilet that flushes like a jet.
Breakfast was amazing, including the usual French offerings with an Italian flair.
Very pleased with the staff as well, helpful and attentive.
Until next time!”

“Disappointing experience at a so-called 5-star hotel
While the hotel may look the part of a luxury establishment, my experience was far from five-star.
I accidentally left my cardigan in the room after check-out and contacted the hotel multiple times. Eventually, they said they had found it and asked me to pay 20 euros to send it to my next hotel in Cannes. What I received instead was a male hoodie and a badge belonging to another guest. My cardigan was never found or returned — so be careful with your belongings.
There were also several small but frustrating issues that should never happen in a 5-star hotel:
• When refilling the in-room coffee pods, instead of replacing the used regular ones, they just added extra decaf — ignoring what was actually used.
• Towel hangers were located outside the shower, forcing you to walk across the bathroom soaking wet to grab a towel.
• Staff were unresponsive, poorly coordinated, and showed little accountability — especially after their own mistakes.
These may seem like small details, but they reflect a larger problem: a lack of professionalism, attention to detail, and true hospitality. I’m giving this hotel 3 stars at best. It simply doesn’t meet the standards it claims to uphold”
