Mizuki, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall the hotel was very nice, but my room had very worn, not clean appearing carpet. I saw that other room had laminate flooring. I would have preferred that over carpet.
Susan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and staff were helpful. Late check out (12pm) was good. Only thing is that you have to leave the key at the front reception and there is one elevator (I was level 5 so stairs weren’t really feasible with luggage). As long as you are not in a rush anywhere it’s fine.
Bonita, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was great. I would have liked a fridge in the room. It is a beautiful, old hotel with a lot of character. I would have preferred hardwood in our room from a cleanliness point of view. The breakfast was good and the staff were great. We also had dinner in the restaurant, which was terrific.

Viggo, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was perfect except the room was a little outdated, no USB sockets, no shower curtain/door - the water from the shower spills on the floor. The temperature in the room was perfect without annoying A/C drafts.
Dmitry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel located a short walk from all sorts of attractions including: restaurants (brasseries/bouchons), two rivers (the Rhone and Sone). It was surrounded by quaint buildings from the 1700s/1800s. It was not far from a funicular (a hillside train) station that takes you to the well preserved ruins of a Roman theatre at the top of the hill as well as near a beautiful cathedral. It was a very nice mix of modern and vintage. Loved our time there - wish that we could have stayed longer than the two days we visited.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful building in a great central location. The lobby is very welcoming, clean, and friendly. The breakfast spread is very high quality. Staff is very attentive and friendly.
