Stayed at the privilege room. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bar is pretty basic but nice for a quick drink before going out. Breakfast restaurant is very bright, the food typically French, what you expect really in a good way. Overall our expectations were fulfilled so I would happily return.

It's was very difficult to find the hotel, why isn't there a big sine above the hotel?
I always in love with new buildings, but this old building was nice for one time ;)
We had a very big room, a family room. That was super!

The privilege room was large and great for a toddler to run around in between going out to see Lyon. Despite being next to the train station, the room was extremely quiet. Bed was comfortable, and they provided a lot of amenities.

Very convenient location to the train station. Very friendly staff and good dinner in the restaurant.
Really spacious and clean room.
The only downsides were the too hard bed and the bad pillows. Some memory foam or firm fellow pillows would be great.
