Good location, easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see.
The breakfast was enjoyable, the food and the breakfast room full of quirky items.
I arrived to the hotel with some virus and Orianna was very helpful with researching English speaking doctors.
Lyon was on my To see list for a few years and it is as wonderful as I imagined.
