Une vraie parenthèse hors du temps
Pros:

Superbe petit hôtel traditionnel en plein centre-ville
Accueil chaleureux
Extrêmement calme : un chance en plein centre
Et surtout ne pas louper le petit déjeuner dans la cuisine ouverte , un vrai cabinet de curiosités, accueilli par la pâtissière qui fait devant vous des gâteaux maison délicieux !

Enjoyable stay in Lyon
Pros:

We liked the location, which is across the street from Place Bellecour, in the Presqu'ile district with easy access to Vieux Lyon. The breakfast was very good -- lots of variety. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The room was cluttered with furniture and things (tea set, throw pillows) that took up space in an already small room.

A lovely and unique hotel with amazing decor we will certainly return
Pros:

Our room was amazing the quality of the finishes and attention to detail of the decor and fixtures and fittings was sensational. The breakfast room was equally well thought through and quite quirky in an appealing way. Althought they did struggle with our poached eggs! But this did not spoil our experience

Cons:

We thought it was slightly over priced, but the quality was very good. I think I would have felt happier if the breakfast had been included in the overall price. Our stay was unfortunately during the riots so the rack rate had been reduced significantly but we had booked to early to get any reduction. A few days difference i vwould have cancelled and re booked.

Великолепный опыт, с удовольствием вернулись бы еще раз!
Pros:

Невероятно красивый отель с множеством исторических деталей, находиться как в номере, так и в других помещениях отеля очень приятно, чувствуешь себя как в музее. Исключительно чисто везде. Весь персонал очень внимательный и приятный. Еда очень вкусная.

Cons:

Единственный нюанс в нашем номере, ванная и раковина располагались прям в комнате, отделенные ширмой. Визуально очень красиво, но нам было не сильно удобно из-за брызг на полу) но это не недостаток, просто наши личные предпочтения

Cons:

Una experiencia absolutamente lamentable.

Viajamos con mucha frecuencia y jamás nos habíamos encontrado con un trato tan desagradable, poco profesional y falto de respeto.

Desde la actitud arrogante de la recepcionista que nos atendió hasta la pésima comunicación con su superior, todo fue un auténtico desastre. En ningún momento mostraron interés por ayudarnos ni por ofrecer soluciones.

Además, en Booking anuncian que disponen de aparcamiento, cuando en realidad se trata de un parking público que, supuestamente, está a 50 metros del alojamiento. La realidad es que se encuentra a aproximadamente medio kilómetro y, para colmo, nuestro coche ni siquiera podía acceder por sus dimensiones. Tampoco nos ofrecieron ninguna alternativa ni solución.

Una auténtica vergüenza. Nos sentimos completamente engañados por la información anunciada y por el trato recibido.

No lo recomendaríamos bajo ningún concepto.

Pros:

The location is excellent, right in the heart of downtown, with restaurants, bars, and a variety of shops all within walking distance.

Cons:

This is the kind of hotel you either love or hate - there’s no in-between. The interior is very different from that of a standard 4-star hotel, with lots of quirky details, vintage furniture, and old-fashioned decor.

However, the overall cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The entrance is very inconvenient, as we had to climb over chairs while carrying our luggage. We were also informed that the elevator only goes up to the second floor only after we have paid for reservation.

There is a noticeable musty smell throughout the hotel, and the abundance of upholstered furniture and curtains makes everything feel dusty. Even the bathroom is separated from the room by a curtain rather than a proper door.

Overall, despite its unique character and interesting interior, the hotel does not feel particularly clean or comfortable, and the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired.
