Good location, nice property in Lyon
Pros:

Breakfast was very good ( above standard) and the location is convenient. The bed was comfortable and i liked that small touch where house keeping gave out small chocolates in the evenings.

Cons:

Water pressure in the bath was very weak.. requires much improvement. Overall based on my experience I believe that this is more like a 4 start hotel ( should be so) and not a 5 start standard.

It was a memorable stay with my co-workers for good company
Pros:

The location at Place Bellecouer is excellent and conveniently accessible by subway too. The river is at walking distance too. Lots of good shopping and restaurants in the vicinity.
The staff was very courteous and helpful. The decor and the toiletries were very good. An iron was provided on request.

Cons:

The room was small though well furnished. The wifi didn't work, my laptop couldn't pick up the signal although it was working elsewhere. That could not be rectified. Luckily I had data on my phone and could use my personal hotspot.
The cord of the electric kettle was short and could not be used at the designated spot. The lobby and restaurant were under renovation, but plenty of great restaurants at walking distance.

Boutique Chic, Stuck in Time....
Pros:

M Gallery hotels are always very curated and beautiful. Lyon had several, but only one had a five star rating and it was this one. The website looked promising, and I upgraded the room to a superior with view.

The room was large and comfortable with fantastic views. But it stops there. The furniture is worn and torn and showing signs of its age. The lobby is undergoing a renovations and construction crews are everywhere. The "makeshift" lobby is tiny and has zero ambiance.

No restaurant, no lobby, no lobby bar. On top of that a room thats dated and tired. Carpet was worn and torn. The AC barley cooled and I was sweating both nights. I told the staff and they never followed up with me, t was not important to them.

Employees were all very nice and friendly. But not trained in five star hotel service. I arrived and was told "passport and credit card please" no welcome to xxxxx etc. She was super nice and had a smile, but all of it felt more like check-in at a 4 star hotel.

The first night I got no turndown service. The second night housekeeping knocked and I was in room. She put a bowl of chocolate in front of me and said "chocolate for you ?" I took two and she said goodbye. That was the extent of the turndown.

I purchased five star and barley got 4. Do not stay here until after the renovation. Im sure after that it will be great. On the plus side, the location of this hotel is one of the best in the city.
