Beautiful old building near Hotel de Bille and Opera

Stayed in September 2024

The double bed was located on a mezzanine platform. It was lovely... But access was via a vertical ladder with a pole for support, and it is not ideal for anyone who needs to get up during the night to go to the loo - or for elderly people. The benefit of the apartment being located on the ground floor of the building was negated by the fact that the bed access required agility and stability. Otherwise, very comfortable.

Beautiful apartment. Not at 21 Royale - but located on Quai André Lassange. Right beside the river. Stylish. Very handy for the areas a tourist would most want to visit. Very close to Opera House and Hotel de Ville and Museum of Beax Arts. Round the corner from the Metro to connect to The Rhone Express to get to airport. Easy. Handy for the arty "silk workers" area. Easy access to main shopping street leading to the old town. Very well equipped apartment. Extremely quiet within a courtyard. Most enjoyable stay. Very comfy bed and good quality bedding.

There wasn't a key for the bins so we just had to leave our rubbish in the flat but we were only there for one night so it wasn't too bad.

Clear instructions.

I did like the fact that our room was on top of the living room, it felt like there was no privacy.

The wide space. The kids loved

The bathroom was off the main bedroom (although the separate toilet was off the living space) which makes the apartment ideal for families - we were travelling with our student daughter - but would be perhaps more difficult for others. Some of the furnishings a bit tired - the apartment has obviously been well used but this didn't detract too much from the over all charm.

The location was brilliant, very close to the metro to go up Croix-Rousse and 7 minutes walk from Hotel de Ville metro station and connections to the Rhone Express. Vieux Lyon and Croix Rousse all in walking distance. Close to the river. Small but perfectly formed apartment in lovely historical building with very high ceilings and original features - ideal for a family.

Poor wifi No mugs Washing machine didn't work Broken toilet seat Late communication on how to gain access

Excellent location Good size shower Good security

Kitchen did not have a sharp knife and coffee pods did not fit machine.

Location was superb - walk to Old town, restaurants, shopping district and park.

Lack of furniture in the main bedroom. Two tiny bedside tables and a bed. Needs a dressing table or chest of drawers. Lack of drinking glasses in the kitchen. No wine, no beer glasses, nothing bigger than a tiny tumbler.

The location and the size.

Being on the ground floor is a little awkward with people on the street just outside but the windows were barred so it felt safe and you’re right across from the river!

Door codes make everything so easy!

A few very minor quibbles - the washing up sink seemed to have no plug, and a few more tea bags and a cafetière would have been nice. And the frying pan needed replacing as no handle and damaged non-stick surface. Otherwise all was very lovely indeed!

Really stylish apartment with a lovely mix of period features and modern kitchen and bathroom. The location is superb too, minutes from great restaurants and the river, but also very quiet at night. I also found it helpful being so close to a secure underground carpark, albeit very expensive. Would recommend 😊

It could have had more cleaning/shower materials

Easy check-in and the host´s responsiveness

It was frustrating that I had to chase the information regarding keys or entry codes the day before my visit. The apartment is quite well equipped, but could do with a few glasses for soft drinks or wine.

This apartment is very well located, with the city centre right on the doorstep. It is on the third floor, but I was aware of this, so the climb of 93 steps didn’t bother me!

I speak fluent French, but it took me numerous emails and phone calls to get the property address and door codes. I only received the codes and address on the morning we arrived in France. This needs to improve. Pans did not easily work on the induction hob. Could do with being changed.

Location is excellent next to Rhone - 2 mins from Hotel de Ville. Although it is not 21 Rue Royale as advertised. Apartment is good size and clean.

Property needs a revamp. Third floor property - we knew this would be the case but there were almost 100 steps to the property, not a problem but more than average for three floors.

Location, convenience, facilities. The shower was great.

Excellent location near the river lovely, clean and comfortable.

Though there is a dishwasher and a washing machine, there were neither dishwasher tablets or laundry products. If you open the windows it's extremely loud outside, but that's the cost of living in the middle of everything.

The location is excellent if you want to enjoy the historic areas. The apartment is nice and cozy, there are huge french windows with a view at the river.

It was a bit of a faff getting the door code as the owner wouldn't give it until we had done some complicated (to me) extra insurance thingy via booking.com, which incidentally asked for photos of the flay (catch 22!) This was hard to do from Paris on phone and I wish booking.com had asked for it straight away at booking time in the interests both of convenience and transparency - not quite sure why some properties have it and others don't. Also it made us feel a bit paranoid and unrelaxed about taking full advantage the flat's amenities

A stylish studio flat in a v good location.

Second bed seems from the pictures as another bedroom. Second bed was like a loft bed which was quite steep. Wouldn’t be suitable for anyone that isn’t nimble. Wifi also quite poor.

Good location.

Wi-Fi was weak and disappointing

Clean apartment, comfortable beds, lots of facilities

Very humid.

Location was good. Clean.

The portable air conditioner could not cool down the apartment, very noisy and would hate to stay in summer.The TV didn’t work. The wifi was useless. Hand held shower holder broken. The access to the building instructions weren’t easy to follow due to 2 entrances to apartments.Staff were not available for assistance.

The location, the size of the apartment was good.Bed comfortable

Wifi is close to non-existing. The apartment has 2 or 3 wifi network but all of them are pretty bad. The cellular internet barely covers the apartment so prepare for not having an access to the Internet. There's a small AC in the room and it works however it bugs out from time to time (E8) and when it happens it stops cooling down and you need to restart. Because of that you can't leave it working over night. It's also a bit too small to help with extreme heat. I happened to be in Lyon during a heat wave and temperature was +39. Although, I don't think it's a relevant problem since it's not a normal summer temperature there. We couldn't make the TV work. It seems like the batteries are out of charge in the remote for the TV add-on The bottle opener was broken.

Great location. Nice interior, very good bathroom. The flat has a dish washer, washing machine, microwave, fridge.

Parking was a nightmare and the two suggestions Parking Opera or Hotel de Ville were £30 a day!! Fortunately I have a disabled pass so we could find a space 7 min walk away. The second sleeping space was a very shallow loft accessed by a ladder so we used the sofa bed. Washing machine was broken Shower room floor was very slippery and I fell hurting my elbow And shoulder

Convenient location for Lyon centre
