Very nice hotel and staff. However, dinner in the restaurant was a disappointment. Ordered steak and fish, both were tough (old?). Steak sent back, came back same. Steak only about one-quarter-inch thick. Desserts were good. Only there one night, should have gone to a Michelin-recommended bistro just two blocks away. Be sure to visit Paul Bocuse Food Hall nearby.

The room was clean and modern with nice lighting and a great shower. The market nearby is amazing but the neighbourhood is no Vieux Lyon. We wish the room had a wine bottle opener and the we had some warning about the fire drill.

The room was very spacious and had excellent air conditioning. The shower was appropriate sized (vs those tiny tube sized showers in most of Europe). We did not hear others around us and slept well. We took advantage of the valet parking and truly appreciated that. We were able to easily walk and venture into Lyon from the location and felt very safe in our surroundings. The pillows were incredibly flat so I recommend asking for more. Easy fix

Good hotel positioned midway between the station and Vieux Lyon. The gym is good but the swimming pool not as big as it appears in publicity! It would have been good to have some sachets of milk as part of the tea and coffee in the room!
