“The schoolhouse theme is cleverly executed, giving the place real character. I appreciate the small touches, like tea and coffee in the rooms, plus that rooftop terrace is a rare find in Lyon. The location is superb for exploring Vieux Lyon, and I was particularly impressed by how proactively the staff handled a tricky situation for a guest.”
