Hotel Details

Location

Situated in the historic centre of Vieux Lyon, the apartment is a short walk from major attractions, restaurants, and metro lines.
The apartment is at the real heart of Lyon, with a location score of 9.2. Musée Miniature et Cinéma is 200 metres away, and Fourvière Roman Theatre and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière are within 1 km. The Museum of Fine Arts is a 9-minute walk. The nearest metro is roughly 10 minutes on foot, allowing access to Lyon Perrache Train Station (3 km) and other city areas. Many bouchons lyonnais (traditional restaurants), shops, and bars are within a 5-minute walk. For car travellers, public parking is available across the street at €49/day.

Accommodation

This first-floor apartment offers a compact but well-equipped studio for one or two guests, with modern amenities and parquet flooring.
The apartment is a clean, comfortable studio designed for short stays. It includes a seating area with a flat-screen TV, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, tea and coffee maker). The bedroom area has one double bed with good bedding. Air conditioning, heating, and a washing machine are provided. The property is in a very old building without a lift, so accessibility is limited. Though the space is compact, it is efficiently laid out with a dressing area and parquet floors. Light levels are moderate; the apartment is cosy and well-suited for one or two people.

Dining

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchenette for self-catering, and many traditional bouchons and restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.
You can prepare meals with the stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and electric kettle. Nearby dining options include Bouchon Lyonnais Chez, Le Pique Assiette, Giovany's ristorante, and Aux Trois Maries (all within 0.5 km). For drinks, Bar Le Florian is just around the corner. Grocery deliveries can be arranged for an additional charge, adding convenience for self-catering.

Wellness and Leisure

On-site wellness facilities are not available, but the location provides walking tours, bike tours, and access to cultural and seasonal activities.
The property does not have a spa, pool, or gym. However, the surrounding area offers free walking tours, bike tours (additional charge), and temporary art galleries. Cooking classes and live music/performances are also available off-site at an extra cost. An ice-skating rink is nearby during colder months, and the historic streets of Vieux Lyon itself provide a visually rich environment for leisurely exploration.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and key-access entry complement the apartment's self-service setup with responsive host support.
Wi-Fi is free throughout the apartment. Luggage storage is available at no extra cost, useful for early arrivals or late departures. The property has a private entrance with key access for security. Reception staff are not on-site full-time, but the hosts provide clear check-in/out instructions and respond quickly to messages. Pets are allowed on request with no extra charges. The building is non-smoking throughout. Accessible parking is available nearby, but the apartment itself is not wheelchair-accessible due to stairs. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards and UnionPay.
