If you are visiting Lyon, we would thoroughly recommend this super hotel. Everywhere is so different from the usual 'hotel are us' type of hotels you find worldwide. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Location is very central immediately beside Bellecour Square, so good access to the parts of the city you may wish to explore. Only downsides I can think of is that there is no elevator that reaches the ground floor. Access is by a remotely operated locked door but you have to climb one flight of stairs, with any luggage you may have, before reaching reception on the 1st floor. From there, you do have an elevator to take you to most of the rooms. Breakfast was a delight - food was excellent and the breakfast room is just lovely. Once again, would recommend and will return on any future visit to Lyon.
