Prices went up since 2 years ago, when I could have gladly granted 4-5 stars, but the proceeds were definitely not invested in maintenance. The air conditioned was loud, the wallpaper of the restroom aged, the cover of the toilet unscrewed, the plumbing of the wide gray bathtub leaked. But the "coup de grâce" was the unexpected 25 euros breakfast (per capita), totally unbecoming for a 290 euros room. By the way: the cheapest room starts at 270 euros, which at the current exchange rate equals 367$. American travelers must be warned that separate shower and toilet is a regrettable European tradition inherited by this beautiful hotel built on a renovated old house; be grateful for the bidet.

Loved this hotel. Charming does not even begin to describe it. The concierge, Gerard, spent 3 days before I arrived finding a suitable yoga class for me. Service is impeccable. Location is wonderful (situated in the heart of Old Lyon). Great walking tours within 10 minutes of the hotel. If you're in Lyon, you must take a car to Paul Bocuse's Restaraunt (consider by many to be the best in all of France -- if it is even possible to pick one). Paul Bocuse himself greets every arriving guest. The food is superb (but they're not "giving it away!").

Have stayed here twice, both times very enjoyable. Great location in the old town, funky rooms and common areas, perhaps could us a bit of updating, but still works. Front desk and bell staff were friendly, great concierge, good breakfast staff but dinner waitress a bit cold. Bar is nice for drinks before going out.

Stayed 2 nights in Cour des Loges Lyon in April 07. Excellent location in centre of Old Lyon and architecture is unique. Staff were absolutely excellent, especially porter, the best and most helpful I have ever come across. Was booked into standard room, which was medium to small size, but overlooked rear gardens so was quite sunny and very peaceful. Toilet was the only negative: it's effectively a very small portacabin concealed in the corridor of your room. Let's just say you wouldn't want to be claustrophobic and constipated...! Bathroom was also somewhat disappointing. Quite small with nowhere to hang your clothes and very little space for toiletries. Bath was very large but painted a very dull dark grey as was the surround. Nice bathrobes and safe in room. Pool in hotel is extremely scenic but too small to swim. Garden at rear, though in need to tidying, was a lovely place to chill out right in the middle of old Lyon. Birds singing, cats on old walls, hard to believe you were in the middle of a city! Had dinner on one night. Service was excellent and food was very good. But, as with all nouvelle cuisine, it was a case of not a lot on your plate but a lot on your bill! Wine card is excellent. Breakfast is very expensive at Euro25, but excellent with best variety I have had in France. I would definitely recommend hotel for a weekend, especially romantic getaway. It's expensive though, so I suppose it just depends on what you expect for your money.
