A place to skip in lyon
Cons:

The room is exceptionally small; if you are travelling with a companion or carrying substantial luggage, movement becomes decidedly difficult.
It is advisable not to use the air conditioning, regardless of the room temperature. When switched on, it circulates visible dust and debris, raising understandable concerns about the condition of the hotel’s ventilation system (as illustrated in the photograph).
As for practical amenities, there is no porter service and no assistance with luggage. Rooms are not conveniently located near the lift, requiring guests to carry their bags up stairs.

Amazing position. It is a beautiful part of Lyon. The staff were friendly, lovely & helpful.

The layout of the room was strange. It was supposed to fit 4 adults & really doesn’t. My sons barely fit in their beds.
