We had just finished a river cruise and needed a hotel for 2 nights before flying home. We arrived around noon and were able to check in early. The location makes for easy walk to get around the old city of Lyon. So much to see and do in the area. Our double classic room (queen bed) was perfect for our needs. Hallways could use some updating. The 8th floor bar has spectular city/river night time views but is “tres” pricey.

More of an older hotel. Needs renovation. A bit moldy in the bathroom but the common areas were well kept. You’d expect the rooms to be the same but it wasn’t the case.
