the staff was quite lovely and always available. the hotel decor looked very romantic. the location was perfect with easy access to many shops and restaurants nearby. everything i needed was only a short walk.
The room was rather dark. the lighting above the bed was also inadequate. the space felt a bit cluttered with furniture. The chairs were not very comfortable. This made carrying luggage a bit difficult.

the staff was friendly and efficient. the location is central, steps from bellecour square. the room was spacious, with a comfortable bed (i slept soundly each night). the hotel provides luggage assistance, a real help with the stairs at the entrance.
the breakfast variety was somewhat limited. more hot options would enhance the experience.

I found the decor to be amazing throughout. Our bedroom felt luxurious, and I appreciated the convenience of having a hand basin each. The reception staff were professional and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in.
The breakfast seemed overpriced for what was available. The small wardrobe held the fridge and the safe, it left very little space for much else. I ended up living out of my suitcase .
