I visited Lyon with my daughter for a few days and picked the hotel due to its close proximity to the attractions we planned on visiting. I’ll start with the positives. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful for the duration. The room was huge with 2 giant comfortable beds,a great shower,safe and most importantly air conditioning as the temperature was around 36-38 for our stay. The area around the hotel felt safe and was a short walk to the attractions. The river was close to the hotel and lovely to sit after dinner with an ice cream. The only negatives I found were a guest travelling with a dog left the poor thing one afternoon to bark and howl alone. This happened on 2 occasions and I notified reception as I had concerns that it had enough water during the heat. One evening around 22:00 the barking started again. Again I approached reception to resolve the matter. I requested to change rooms as the noise was disturbing my stay. The request was met and we enjoyed the rest of our visit. I did mention to the hotel that if they offer pet friendly rooms that they ensure owners take responsibility and not leave their pets alone in very hot weather! Also it’s the hotel’s responsibility to ensure guests aren’t disturbed by a dogs incessant barking. My only other gripe is the hotel’s policy of taking a €280 deposit in case we used the restaurant etc. The deposit is taken and refunded quickly after check out. Considering this I’d probably stay here again.

Family friendly and comfortable hotel. Spacious rooms, incredibly friendly staff, clean and great location to walk to all areas of Lyon. Pool is smaller than we expected but children still had fun. Breakfast buffet was good value for money with varied options of cooked and continental. Would definitely go back if ever in Lyon.

Modern, quiet rooms with a fridge and a nice rain shower. Liked the "look" of the dining room and the bar area. Bonus: Free (bubbly) water refill stations and amazing breakfast! Small pool but okay. Suggestion: Why not put a Nespresso machine and conditioner, lotion in every room? This seems basic for a 4 star hotel.

Nice, clean hotel. They offer excellent breakfast. Very polite staff, fluent in english. Couple of minor things in the room: bathroom door wasn’t locking, needed adjustment, safe wasn’t working, but since we were staying just one night i did not bother to ask for fix or assistance, i recommend this hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
The property was fair. Location was not near any restaurants open on the weekend. Staff was sort of helpful, but did not offer any additional assistance like getting a taxi. Increased rates on a Sunday night. I’m sure it was for the Taylor Swift tax. Town was not equipped to handle concert and influx of tourists
