Beautiful hotel with views across the city, lovely pool and pool area, excellent service.

Helen United Kingdom

The hotel & rooms were very clean, the staff were very accommodating. The pool was well positioned with wonderful views across the city. The hotel itself was very, very nice. Well located just above the old town of Lyon so ideal to explore this part of the city, which is the best part of Lyon by far.

Katy New Zealand

It is so lovely, comfortable and has amazing views of the town. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive and will help you with whatever you need. It is very relaxing with balcony areas, outdoor seating and the pool and spa. The breakfast was not included but has a really good breakfast if you choose to have this. There is an on site restaurant which you should book ahead for. It is a short walk to other restaurants and shops. highly recommend
