10/10 Exceptional

Hotel decor and size was lovely. Room was great, quiet with a comfy bed. However disappointed that the staff at the hotel were quite rude and not friendly - I asked for a coffee in the morning and they tried to charge me for the full breakfast! That being said it was a nice hotel and a great location in Lyon.

Good location and great breakfast!

The hotel was really good with communication, and made us feel welcomed at check in. The room was small, but comfy and well designed. It’s really close to a metro stop, which is really helpful for getting around. What I loved was their breakfast buffet. Usually these are hit and miss, but this was a hit. They had a pistachio break that was so good, I wanted to run off with the whole loaf.

Quirky and comfortable hotel about 20 min walk from old town. Chargeable parking in underground car park accessed from back road. Comic masks in rooms. Enjoyed outside eating and cocktails in bar whilst watching world cup rugby. Pricier than expected but good
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The overall experience is nice and the room was comfortable. A complimentary bottle of water would have been appreciated. I expected at least a boiler in the room , there wasnt. They want us to really go to their restaurant for everything. The loby is quite small and the restaurant takes the whole of the space. So it was more a hotel for sleeping

My bride and I were celebrating 50 years since our first date this same week and several hotels we planned to stay at were full but this one still had rooms. We were somewhat reluctant at first because of the whole disco and Disney character theme but everyone we met made our stay memorable in deeply personal ways. The brunch was also extraordinary.
