    "Was only staying over 1 night but this was such a nice stay! The staff were extremely warm and good vibes, the room was clean and very cute, the aircon was extremely welcome in after the 32°C days, generous pillow allocation and nice breakfast. The location is also excellent for the centre of town, of course, and there is a baggagerie which is nice if you want to walk around Vieux Lyon after checkout/before travel. Ended up sad that I wasn't staying longer but will definitely come back here next..."
