Hotel well positioned for Bellecour area and old town. Ambience is good.
A reasonable buffet for breakfast. One day we had curdled milk and the water for tea was only warm not boiling.

Our small room was okay, but an arkward configuration where they fit a room into a corner of the building. The toilet space was cramped . Staff was nice. Dining room was nice. Breakfast was good, but not included.

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.

The inside of the building is a bit outdated, but it is kept very clean. Staff are extremely helpful and polite. I loved the gym facility and steam sauna! The room was small, but it had everything I needed to stay for 4 days. The hotel location is superb, especially if you enjoy walking. 10/10, I would come back!

Very nice decor in the hotel and staff was very friendly and professional. Conveniently located close to Bellcour plaza with lots of restaurants close by.
Area right next to the hotel was not as well lit as the rest of town so it was a little iffy, but overall no negative interactions.

This was the prefect stop to rest for our long France trip. The hotel was way fancier than what we expected. Perfect location! It also had a parking garage which was needed for our trip.
