Breakfast is often enjoyed for quality, simple ingredients and local touches, though some find it basic, while air conditioning and modern bathrooms earn praise. Some mention poor soundproofing; Wi‑Fi feedback varies. Expect a charming, well-located boutique stay with attentive service.

The old solid wood doors . The staircase is narrow & twisting Burt there an elevator. The view from the window was amazing It is a tiny room but it feels genuine, not a North American hotel

The owner and staff are welcoming and helpful. The location is good for seeing the popular sights in Lyon. The air conditioning worked well, even on 103 F days. The bathroom was very modern and roomy. We stayed there on both ends of our vacation, both during heat waves. Choose the Superior room type, looking out the well-insulated front windows.

The main photo on hotel site is the building that hotel faces, not hotel itself. The hotel is more like bed and breakfast as it doesn’t have any common areas other than breakfast room. No entrance lobby at all. Not sure why it’s called a hotel. The room was comfortable and clean, very friendly staff, great breakfast. It’s in an excellent area, close to everything.

A nice Hôtel that we booked last minute. The room was clean, practical but a bit small. We only had a one night stay so it was more than enough for us. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. The only Issue was that the office desk wasn’t high enough to let my partners legs slide under it, but he manages the setup even though. We would come back if in Vieux Lyon again! Thanks

We stayed in the Magnolia suite. It was very large and comfortable for two people. There was a large bed, but also a pullout couch. This gave my daughter and I the opportunity to sleep separately which was great. The bathroom was also spacious and very clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly with our needs. We would certainly stay there again.

Ils m'ont même proposé de me l'envoyer, mais j'ai pu le récupérer avant de reprendre le train. Très satisfaite de cette première expérience. Je reviendrai, c'est certain.

The staff were so nice and helpful- they arranged car services, tours, dinners. Etc. and the owner was a great person, loved talking to him at breakfast!! Highly recommend staying here and I would do a quick trip to Paris, see the biggies and go back to Lyon and enjoy France!

The staff is so helpful in helping with transit plans and recommendations for restaurants and agenda. I already booked my next stay with them!

We were able to have our laundry done nicely folded, which was a great relief halfway through our trip. Leon was a beautiful city , highly recommend this hotel for location, value, comfort, and cleanliness recently renovated , it mixes Old and you very successfully Air conditioning was great the only slight criticism was the thickness of the duvet we would have preferred just a sheet this is trivial and should not deter you staying at this wonderful family owned and run Hotel
