Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple mentions of cleanliness problems: nails in the bed, a dirty room, calcaire on pool tiles and worn mosaics; overall cleanliness below expected 4‑star level.
Service
9
Generally warm, friendly and helpful staff (help with luggage, attentive reception, gestures like breakfast compensation); isolated front‑desk lapses reported but overall service is a strong point.
Location
10
Repeatedly praised: excellent situation and breathtaking panoramic views of Lyon; location/view are the hotel’s standout features.
Room Quality
6
Room issues reported: broken or non‑working air conditioning (including during a heatwave), ageing fixtures, damaged floor mosaics causing injury, blocked shower drains — room quality is noticeably degraded.
Amenities
7
Spa, pool and jacuzzi appreciated but limited (1 hour slots), micro‑pool seating lacking, some spa equipment defective and general signs of age on facilities.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: view and restaurant add strong value and the hotel offered compensation in some cases, but aging infrastructure and service lapses reduce perceived value for a claimed 4‑star property.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Restaurant repeatedly described as very good/excellent; breakfast quality noted positively and dining is a clear asset.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall sentiment is mixed but positive: exceptional view, good service and dining create a memorable stay for many, though maintenance, cleanliness and amenity limits detract from the full 4‑star experience.

Pros:

Het diner

Cons:

De ligging op een berg buiten Lyon,maar dat komt misschien ook wel omdat we slecht weer hadden. Bij goed weer is de locstie denk ik juist heel mooi.

Pros:

Locatie was voortreffelijk! Prachtig uitzicht tijdens het ontbijt. Ontbijt viel een beetje tegen voor een 4 sterren hotel.

De glazen op de kamer waren vies en ook de stoelen waren vies. We hebben dit aangegeven en kregen schone glazen. De stoelen worden hopelijk schoon gemaakt.

Cons:

Hygiëne.

Pros:

la vue est très agréable de la chambre et du restaurant

Cons:

la chambre est franchement dans un état moyen (on en parle des finitions ?)
le restaurant est bon et de qualité mais le service n'est pas à la hauteur

l'état général de l’hôtel, il ne faut pas regarder de prêt !
la taille du spa, l'eau froide et sur réservation c'est tellement petit faut dire

Wouldn’t recommend this hotel, parking terrible, air con turned off at night
Pros:

Bar terrace but couldn’t use in evening unless you had booked to eat at hotel

Cons:

Air conditioning was switched off at night when it was hot, had to go down and ask for it to be turned back on at 2am as room too hot, no shower, no fridge, no wardrobe, parking terrible, breakfast overpriced. Nothing to do in the area. No English tv channel (not even bbc news). Very small swimming pool.

Une vue incroyable et un espace détente agréable
Pros:

La vue, le confort de la literie, l’hôtel dans son ensemble bien que les chambres et l’espace détente nécessiteraient un net rafraîchissement

Cons:

Salle de bain peu adaptée pour une suite familiale (un WC, un lavabo, une douche pour 4…). Petit déjeuner sympathique mais un peu désorganisé.
Vétusté des équipements
