We were in room 101 for two nights which faced the Saône River. As we only had two days to explore Lyon, we opted for a bike tour which we explored on our own, and also did a fair bit of hiking around the area, but also had the hotel book a Lyonnaise dinner at a local bouchon the night before we left. The hotel has its own kitchen and makes breakfast and sandwiches for lunch, not included in your accommodation. Lyon is know as the gastronomic capital of the world, and it is well deserved with selections of food and wine pairings that make your mind spin. We visited the Basilica Notre Dame of Fourviere which was up a steep incline behind the hotel about 1 mile away, and had a very good view of the town. Loved our stay here. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

Owners are very nice One thing I don't like is the rooms decor is ok. We had to carry all our luggage up the stairs no elevator. But the owners helped us a lot with the luggage. And they told us they couldn't have a elevator because france says it's a historical site. And no elevators. Breakfast was pretty good very french. That's why I gave it 3 stars.

Lovely little window overlooking the tiny street behind. Very quiet and calm. Bathroom could use updating, but totally adequate. Of note: the hotel begins on the 2nd (one flight of stairs above ground level) and requires walking up the stairs. No elevator. There is no proper restaurant, although they have a breakfast room that serves quite a nice breakfast (croissants, yoghurt, cereal, juice, tea, etc) for 6€. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to be in the heart of the old city area of Leon (1e arrondissement), within walking distance to the most famous parts of Lyons. Would stay definitely stay here again.

You can expect the classical checkered table clothes, a tight seating arrangement where the person sitting next to you is a complete stranger (that you'll get to chat and know along the evening) and a boisterous chef that welcomes you and comes to check on you many times during the meal. The menu has all the classics and you can even afford to try them all in one sitting without exploding the bank. However, if you eat everything, your tummy might explode ;) Given it was our last night, we went for 'la totale'. The plate of cold cuts was packed tightly with generous servings of terrine, pate de foie gras, saucisson. The quenelle was so fluffy and well souffled that it was like a pillow in your mouth. The tripes although not for everyone, satisfied our desire for offals. The andouillette was crispy on the outside and served with a well flavoured mustard sauce. All in all, for four hearty dishes, 2 glasses of kir and a 46cl bottle of wine, the total came up to 78€! Reservations highly recommended :)

We were abruptly told by a little rude waiter that we were late, he made such a fuss I thought he was going to say he couldn't seat us but then he gave us a table in the corner outside! The table was uncomfortably small (we are not big people) it was cramped! We ordered some drinks and apps and within about 20 mins I had water dripping down my back and on my arms which I thought was raindrops! I realized that actually it was water leaking from the apartment drains above. The water was also hitting the table and going in our food! We asked to be moved indoor where there were tables but we were promptly told to shift to the table next to ours outside. We did so but realized more water coming down on the food! When I complained and said it's unacceptable, the waiter asked do we want a table inside? Lol, so now you have space but before you didn't! The waiter just shrugged and said it's normal when you have apartments above! Absolutely disgusting attitude and rude treatment of paying customers! We left without finishing our contaminated food! We paid for it but there was no compensation or apology! Don't bother going here, most other restaurants we went to we received excellent service and pleasant people!
