The Vendome apartment was just as described. It is elegant and very well furnished. The bedroom is large and the sitting/kitchen area suited our needs perfectly. The heaters are very effective and we found the apartment warm and comfortable throughout our stay. The bed and the single bed in the sitting area are both very comfortable. The location is excellent - with the Metro at Foch just 2 minutes walk away, but if you want to walk you can also walk to e.g. Bellecour and Vieux Lyon, strolling across some of the many bridges. There are restaurants and cafes very near to the apartment but the apartment is situated in a very quite courtyard so we slept very well. Julie met us on arrival to give us our keys and to welcome us to Lyon. She provided lots of useful information. She also checked, during our visit (5 nights) that everything was fine for us. She even allowed us to check out a little late and this enabled us to discover an excellent brunch café in Croix Rousse and to not be too early for our late afternoon flight back to the UK.

Nothing. It was all excellent.

My husband and I were extremely impressed with both the apartment and the overall service. Our apartment is at the ground floor, we love how the main door is cleverly camouflaged using a series of lush planters, creating both privacy and a pleasing nature aesthetic.The interior is nicely decorated, cosy and clean. Bed is comfy with spacious built-in wardrobe to accommodate our clothes and stuffs. The kitchenette is well-equipped with all the essentials: induction stove, fridge, dish washer, washing machine, cutleries and utensils, microwave, coffee maker and electric kettle etc., we could prepare meals like we were at home. Bathroom is well ventilated with heater water. Everything is clean, functional, and thoughtfully arranged, It really felt like a home away from home. The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the city! The Foch station is just a short walk away, getting around Lyon is a breeze. Nearby is the Fontaine de la Place du Maréchal Lyautey, a charming sculpture fountain surrounded by pretty lush of flower. There are also many good cafes, restaurants, shops around. The management had recommended us a list of cafes and restaurants, we managed to try some and they were all really good: 1. Café de Genève–Opens at 6:30am. Serves nice meals, good for a drink or coffee 2.Au Petit Vatel–Nice lyonnaise food and dessert (for take-away only) 3. Miette–beautiful baguette, sandwiches and dessert, yummy! 4.Casino & Carrefour-- wide range of groceries, fresh veggie and fruits Overall, we highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a central location with excellent amenities and service. Cheers A couple from Singapore :)

Nothing actually

Excellent location, self-contained apartments off an internal courtyard. Good access to local shops etc. The upstairs apartment (Vendome) is well furnished, good facilities. In both apartments the beds are really comfortable! Close to a metro station (Foch). Parking at the LPA Morand was quite expensive but very convenient and close.

The downstairs apartment (Le Seze) isn’t a great layout, with the outside door opening onto the bedroom area, steps down into the bathroom, and everything a bit squashed in. Still works ok though.

Quiet apartment, many restaurants and shops nearby, metro station 2 mins walk away Good position To explore the city Friendly hosts who were very helpful with everything we needed Check-in was easy but is not before 18:00 (we arrived earlier and could leave our luggage) Very good WIFI We liked the place, it was spacious and comfortable.

The equipment of the kitchen was very basic, there were no scissors, no knife to cut vegetables/fruits, no soap for the dish washer ecc. The ceiling in the bathrooms is very low, this might be a problem if you are a bit taller. We (170/175cm) could not stand upright while showering.

You could go to a cookie-cutter hotel, or you could go to a stylish, individually decorated apartment with a helpful host who is full of suggestions on what to do and best places to eat- I will take the latter anytime. Thanks too to Paula.

Inevitably, in an old building there will be a few inconveniences, but these are more than compensated for by the charm of the surroundings. Watch out if you are tall!

Positioned in a great location, with shops, restaurants and the metro on your doorstep, we were able to explore Lyon easily. The apartment is gorgeous and very cleverly designed with a loft. The kitchen and washing machine allowed us to cook and clean as we needed, in a cosy, beautifully decorated environment. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

The apartment on the ground floor opened to a courtyard. We could sit outside. The apartment was also spacious, modern and well appointed. The location was close to the metro, supermarkets and many restaurants and food options. Very quiet and comfortable. Perfect host Julie attended to any and every need.

Nothing not to like

It was more like an apartment than a hotel room. Very spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and a work area which was really helpful. The decor is a really nice change to most hotels. Julie who met me for the check-in was super friendly and very helpful! I highly recommend this hotel and I will be back again.

Everything was great!

The location is perfect. Just near the metro stop and just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Lyon. It has been an excellent stay and will highly recommended. The staff was very helpful and made our stay a memorable one.

The only thing which is concerning is the fact that if travelling with small children (we travelled with our 1 year old daughter) you need to pay attention since the property is on different levels so as not to fall. Otherwise, all was good.

We had a great few days staying with MHL. Convenient location, you can walk to most of the attractions. There are plenty coffee shops and restaurants around. Quiet setting for good night sleep, clean space with everything needed. Friendly and resourceful host. Jean, thank you for the great recommendation to Brasserie Georges, we had a wonderful time there!
