Globe Et Cecil

I liked the look and feel of the hotel, both inside and out, as well as the homey feeling that comes from the owner's low-key dog sleeping under a chair in the lounge. But the front desk personnel are the ones who really made my stay an excellent experience. When I arrived, I asked for an interior room in the back and got not only the interior room but also a free upgrade. The room had what appeared to be a newly redone bathroom with two sinks. The receptionists were always friendly and helpful (esp the Spanish one). Finally, the hotel has an excellent location in a district with many upscale shops and reasonably priced restaurants. The Spanish receptionist referred me to one of my two favorite restaurants during my stay; it was not in any guide book (Le Comptoir des Marronniers). The maid was very hardworking and kept my room spic and span. Place Bellecour is a block away and Gare Perrache is about 10" away by taxi (or 20" walking). Vieux Lyon is about 15" away in another direction.

The room was tiny, however I had everything I needed there. The bed was convenient, location of the hotel is excellent - literally 5 minutes from the old town, very close to shopping street. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the New Years, I felt very festive. Great breakfast, highly recommended to take it.

The common areas downstairs were beautifully decorated. Comfortable sitting area in the lobby. Nice outdoor eating area.

Great location, nice and smiling staff, spacious room. I liked that you can get water in the glass bottle (not plastic and generating rubbish). There is a beautiful restaurant with a cosy garden (also for breakfast).

The hotel and the rooms were beautifully decorated, room was a good size and bathroom was large. We enjoyed the lounge and onsite restaurant. Location was very good and staff was able to get us taxis quickly whenever we needed.
