Location, old world class property
Pros:

The property was in a great location! Very walkable to center of the city, shopping, restaurants, etc. We ate in restaurant one night for our anniversary. The view is absolutely incredible and the service is impeccable. We also love to hang out in the lounge. Singers were fantastic and the view and vibe were very relaxed.

Cons:

The property is on the older side. The carpeting should be ripped out and replaced with wood flooring. I believe they’re due for a renovation, but we did enjoy our stay.

Super week-end à Lyon en amoureux
Pros:

Emplacement, personnel à l’écoute et au petit soin, le petit déjeuner avec une super vue sur toute la ville. Super salle de bains et douche.

Cons:

Rapport qualité prix, hôtel et chambre vieillissante, mauvaise odeur dans les chambres, dérangé par une alarme feu et on nous a facturé des consommations alors que nous ne les avons pas consommées. Correction a été faite mais nous avons dû prouver cette erreur.

Lyon' a tekrar geleceğiz ve yine aynı otelde kalacağız

Otelin konumu mükemmeldi. Odamızın manzarası şahaneydi. Çok keyif aldığımız bir konaklama oldu. Oda temizliği ve yatakların rahatlığı en üst düzeydeydi. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyoruz.

Cons:

Olumsuz hiç bir şey yaşamadık.
