Fantastic location. Friendly efficient staff who speak excellent English. Check in process easy, excellent communication by email when we had questions. The room is small, but very comfortable with private bathroom and toilet. Perhaps the only thing lacking is in room air conditioning, but there was a powerful fan in the room and large windows to allow for ventilation. Great quirky bar downstairs, the owner gave us great recommendations for dinner. Good, basic breakfast with excellent coffee! Overall a great location and value for money.

Great location, fantastic staff, very comfortable room.

We were treated absolutely wonderfullg during our stay. We read reviews regarding a glass recycling bin across the street from the hotel, so we wrote a request asking for a room not facing the busy street. We received a response immediately saying they would do so. As a result, we had an extremely quiet, lovely room on the third floor. We came with very heavy luggage, and there is no elevator. However, the lovely receptionist single-handedly carried my nearly 30 kg suitcase up the three flights of stairs! Amazing and so so kind. Would recommend this hotel to all- it's location is exactly in the center. Every sight-seeing sight is just around the corner. 

Amazing service!

Fabulously quirky hotel with wonderful close up views of flying buttresses of Eglise St Nizier.  The rooms all styled individually - very old building but newly done up and not in standard box mode - each one individual. 
Very good service although mostly I only see reception in the morning.  I had to arrive late (22:30 so they arranged me code for door).  
AND extremely good value for money !!   (other hotels in area a Lot more expensive)

Quirky bargain in central Lyon

It's 2* but when in Lyon with so much to do and see, who wants to stay in the room? All one needs is clean, safe, quiet (okay there is a church next door but that's part of the charm). This little hotel checks all those boxes. Plus the bar/breakfast area is a charming museum of flea market finds. I loved my little room (No 3) with good light, plenty of electric outlets, WiFi, comfortable bed and large shower. Very minimalist, but the price is more than fair for what is offered. Location is wonderful one can walk everywhere as well as to Part Dieu train station. Perfect for a short term stay. There is no reception so make sure you ask for the code before you go. Don't let the dark hall and stair put you off...the rooms are what count. The manager could not have been more welcoming.

Great Location & Retro Charm

Have you ever stayed in a bike shop? Probably not but this felt like it, bikes everywhere but as decoration I must add. The hotel is located in the heart of Lyon just across the river from the old quarter where all the restaurants are. The chap in the bar/cafe part of the hotel was really helpful and gave us directions for parking and also walking to the old town. (Lyon is difficult for parking but not too expensive) The hotel is in an old building and they have kept lots of it's character although the room we had was quite basic. It was clean,  although the cleaner should pay a bit more attention to the skirting boards. We were just pleased to get a room and the staff were great and GL friendly by the looks of it. Breakfast was extremely good with fresh orange etc and again friendly staff. This hotel is an experience and special thanks to the guy who checked us in and the girl who checked us out.

Slightly Eccentric!

Opening the door of the "Boulevardier" is entering a sort of a bar, or a pub, but overfilled with things. You fill like in a flea market shop: decoration is made of old bikes, old baby buggies, out-of-order record players, odd armchairs, shabby little lamps. The whole unnecessary jumble is hanging on the walls, but the useful ones are closely laid out in the room. 
      You can have a drink, and breakfast. No other meal. Spiral stairs are climbing quick and hard. Then you come to your room: in the same way every thing looks fun and tightly set. No place for the clothes that we wear that day, no place for the luggage. The bathroom, on the contrary,  is clear, comfortable. Quickly my wife allergy to dust starts, because, no doubt, of the big shelf the ceiling of the bathroom makes, as it was added to existing room, and the old tricycle settled over there for decoration is also a good dust-catcher. 
      So we're sorry our stay was partly nice, partly unpleasant.

A nice hotel,  with good situation, funny decoration, but exiguous bedrooms and insufficient housework.

This is a small charming hotel in a great location and nice room. Very friendly staff and a basic but good breakfast. So far so good.

We had not noticed when booking that the reception is not open 24/7. It actually closes rather early on some days so that when you arrive you need a code to enter. Luckily we got the code on time.

But we were not prepared for that the entrance was so dark and tight. And you have to walk up a stair before you even find your key in a box on the wall. Luckily we met another guest who told us how it worked. There is no lift but a very tight and extremely steep spiral staircase with a thick carpet that smelled damp and stale.

What worried us most though was fire safety. There was no sign of a separate fire escape, so presumably you would have to run down the same steep carpeted staircase you walk up. With such a thick carpet I don't know how you would get out if that one was on fire. I would expect staircase in such an area being completely plain and uncovered.

If it wasn't for the staircase and fire safety I would rate this four stars, but as it is, only two stars are given.


Nice hotel with questionable safety

We booked to stay here based on prior reviews and were not very happy with the hotel. Matters did not get off to a good start as the email with the entrance code (bar closed on our arrival) was sent 3 1/2 months prior to our stay and the email did not register with us or we forgot.  Subsequently meant phoning the proprietor and getting the code in pouring rain upon arrival The entrance hall and staircase going up to rooms is dank, musty and the carpet on stairs is dirty. The room itself had been renovated so the damp smell was not there.  The room was bare minimum adequate.  The best feature was a spacious shower.  The toilet was in its own space but when you sat on toilet if you were over 5’ 10 ‘’ you would have to keep the door open. There was a hair blow dryer but no accessible plug in bathroom in which to plug it in. You had to use wall plug in sleeping area and tiny mirror on the tiny fold out desk.  We had a misunderstanding re: housekeeping one day and did not get replacement towels for the ones we had left on floor to be taken away.  The host did look after that issue.  The breakfast in the bar decorated with garage memorabilia was fine-the croissants were good, the jam was packaged. The coffee was freshly made for each individual.  The price is low for that area of town but you get what you pay for. The proprietor did give us helpful information about getting to airport (via Metro and Rhône Express) which was very useful.  He genuinely seems to want to be helpful. The hotel though is really not 2* in my opinion. I’d give it 1/2*

Friendly, helpful host-hotel not very good

We had room 13, unlucky for us! It was a double but fairly small and the bed was pushed up against one wall. There was nowhere to sit even for a short time, just a small desk and attached chair from a school room, I said it was quirky! There is a separate toilet and a separate shower room but hardly any storage space for clothes etc. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel is down a narrow 1 lane street with high buildings all around. There is no air-conditioning, so with a window open in 28/29C heat it was still hot but also very noisy. Breakfast was €9 per person and disappointing, a cup of coffee or tea and a croissant and some bread and butter! The young girl who was on duty was friendly and helpful, with a reasonable amount of English. When not open you have a door code to gain entrance to the rooms.
