The reception was great and we were allowed to check in before 3pm. The breakfast was amazing with a variety of options and a big thanks to the lady at "La garage" who made a delicious omelettes every morning. The beds were very comfortable and the fridge and water kettle is a plus in the room. The heated pool was nice for relaxation in the evenings.
The swimming pool was much smaller than i had anticipated but still worked out for us.

Great bed and pillows. Tram close by, 23 minute walk to train station and Rhรดnexpress to the airport. 25 minute walk into old town. There are, however, some good restaurants within a 10 minute walk from hotel.
There was tea in our room but no coffee machine. Two more pillows on the bed would be good for reading or watching TV. But otherwise the hotel was great.

Very comfortable beds, cool, quiet room (aircon), plenty of pillows and towels, friendly staff, nice bar, kettle in room and free milk from the bar.
The pool is absolutely tiny! No dinner available on Sundays. No complimentary toiletries. I did not get a reply to my advance question (whether we could leave luggage and swim before checkin) but when we arrived it turned out well.

The rom was clean and the beds were very good to get a proper rest. Very good breackfast, with large variety both salted and sweet. The hotel is well positioned to visit the city and the parking service is good too.
Although the beds were very pleasant, the pillows can be improved: I found them too soft and narrow. Furthermore I would have expected a courtesy toiletry set in the bathroom and a couple of bathrobes for a 4-star hotel.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and quickly checked in. The room exceeded our expectations โ the beds were large and very comfortable. I was a bit worried that it might be tight for two people, as the listed size was 130โ150 cm, but the beds turned out to be even bigger. The bathroom was a good size as well. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful โ both in terms of the variety of dishes and the overall atmosphere. The interior was very pleasant and stylish.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and if we come back to Lyon, weโll definitely choose this place again!
One minor downside is that the room decor feels a bit dated, but itโs not a major issue. It would also be nice to have more bathroom amenities โ such as body lotion or other toiletries โ in addition to just soap and shower gel, especially considering it's a four-star hotel.
That said, I still highly recommend staying at this hotel โ we had a great experience overall.

The very best was the luxurious breakfast with everything one can expect (fruits, juce, good coffe, nice breads, eggs, jams, meats and cheeses) plus on top there were several local choices to try (tarts, local cheeses, sweets).
The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and even a lounge area. Quiet and clean
The bathroom was compact and functional, but for this class of hotel I would have expected more sturdy faucets, handles and holder and a shower door that would be water tight and avoid the build up of mold.
There was roadwork going on in front of the hotel and we had to park in the back and howl our stuff over; it would have been nice to have a luggage service or at least an entrance through the back door.

Very good breakfast, room was comfortable and clean, bed was comfy.
The stuff was not up to standard with blaze answers and not looking to make any effort rather they have pre-prepared answers and did not care. The restaurant was closed at lunch time (by the way not many restaurants in proximity open for lunch), and the room service offered nothing (did not exist at lunch time even a cold snack ).

Great location.
I couldn't hear the construction work outside (maybe it would have been different on weekdays, but I was lucky โ it was a weekend).
Friendly staff.
The elevators are very slow and sometimes can't handle the number of people waiting to use themโseveral times, after a long wait, we had to walk down the fire escape.
There are no vegetables at breakfast, of any kind.
