Our Rooms in City - Bed and breakfast Lyon

We spent 3 nights in Lyon in September. Arriving by car was a bit tricky. When you drive by to drop off the luggage and then do a pick-up when leaving, you essentially block all traffic for a few minutes because the street is so narrow -- no other way around that, but most people are quite tolerant. There are underground parking garages within a 10-15 minute walk where you can leave your car during your stay. You can walk all over Lyon, or take the metro -- excellent transportation (but have plenty of Euro coins -- no bills accepted!)||||This large apartment is very interesting, an old silk-weavers workshop. Very tall ceilings, home totally remodeled in a very innovative, contemporary way. Karine is a lovely, warm hostess who seemed to enjoy practicing her English once we started talking. She gave us many interesting ideas for our explorations around the city. Delicious pastries, breads and homemade jams for breakfast, but no yogurt or any kind of protein -- this was a purely French petit-dejeuner.||||We had room #3 on the upper level which was quite large with a nice modern bathroom . There are large windows, low to the floor which open out onto the courtyard (no bars or balcony so the room is not really safe for young children). The one thing we truly missed was a fan-- it was quite hot during our stay and the air was completely still inside the house -- we realize many Europeans do not use fans, but some flexibility and consideration when it comes to guests' habits and requests would go a long way. ||||The location of the apartment is wonderful for exploring the city. There are so many places you can walk to, so many good restaurants too. We will definitely return!

Karine is a delightful and friendly person who warmly welcomed us into her beautiful home. The residence is very unusual and striking as it should be after all the hard work she and her partner have done on it. Excellent value for money- sensational breakfast which included Karine's home made jams and a baked treat every morning- friands and a tart when we were there. Great location within walking distance to most popular attractions and a short train ride otherwise with parking for cars in the underground carpark not far away at a cost. The rooms are delightful, sparsely but adequately furnished and the bathroom was also nice. Comfortable bedding. We felt very safe there in the traboule-like house. ||||We just had a couple of disappointments; no door to the bathroom/toilet- just a curtain, which I am not a fan of under any circumstances, no reading light- the rooms are very dark so reading would be impossible in the room at night in particular, no hairdryer, nowhere to put a suitcase (this seems to be the case everywhere though, not just here) ||||Karine was happy to offer suggestions and recommendations for restaurants etc which we tried and were very happy with- all in walking distance too. Apart from my minor whinges this home offers wonderful accommodation at very reasonable prices and I would recommend it otherwise.

Karine is a sweet hostess and her home is gorgeous, if not a bit smaller than you might expect for a bed & breakfast. Do pay attention to all the directions you receive from her as the property is set back from the street and you need a code to get into the courtyard to pass through to her home. Nos Chambres are three rooms basically within Karine's family's home. If you're looking for a ton of privacy you will get it, but it will feel a little like you're guests in someone's home rather than in an inn. That was FINE with us. The room- mostly stone walls- was quiet and had a great (and free!) internet connection. The bathroom had a wonderful shower and big sink. Breakfast was lovely and a little different everyday,though still bread-and-homemade conserves everyday. The first morning Karine served us a local brioche with praline that is specific to Lyon. That helped us get acclimated to Lyonnaise cuisine and how it really is special. We would stay here again for sure.

My wife and I had a wonderful time we had at your quaint B&B (a converted 18th century silk factory). The interior was amazing (see the pics of the property)!|| Karine, the owner was very hospitable and friendly. The room was tastefully furnished and the feeling in the house tranquil and calm. The breakfast we received was magnifique! We still talk about the tasty homemade jams (strawberry and mint, apricot and lavender...), fresh warm brioche and selection of breads. I think we should start serving coffee in a bowl in our house, here in Finland. A nice tradition! We will highly recommend your super B&B to our friends and of course we hope to see you again in the future. We plan to spend a longer time in Lyon next time as we liked it very much.Best wishes, Alan and Heidi.

I highly recommend Karine's B and B. To start, she is such a kind and helpful person. She not only allowed us to drop our bags off quite early, she was also very generous with her time in helping us with directions. We were only in Lyon for one day unfortunately, but her home is located a short walking distance to the river, cool shops and restaurants. We were able to accomplish a lot of sight seeing with the time given. We had to leave very early in the morning and so were unable to have a sit down breakfast. Karine put together a lovely tray of homemade goodies and fruit for us to take on the train. So delicious!! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again :)

When we finally found the street Rene Leynaud, Karine was the best persone to welcome us, after more then a hour driving in Lyon (and 6 hours on the roads..). with all her kindness and her pasion, we forgot our hard day and we gut a beautiful room in a very welcoming worm house. The location is perfect and after we understood it is imposible to be with a car in Lyon, we were so happy that we choose a B&B in the center of the city. But I think it is not the perfect location, or the beautiful room with the comfortable bed and the worm calm atmosphere - it is all about Karine!||||She prepared us a spacial breakfast every morning and bought for me spacial things, everytime we needed some information she was happy to help with patience and care. She made us feel like we at home when we were so far from home. She gave us the feeling it is ok to ask every time we needed anything and made us understand that she is the write person to ask - I wish every place - b&b or hotel will give so much information with caring and above all full hospitality.||||Highly recommended!||Michal and Roei||Israel

I stayed for two lovely nights recently at this beautiful apartment guesthouse in the silk- weavers area.|The apartment itself is interesting, being renovated with skylights and little indoor garden, and high ceilings (? Silk weavers' working area?)||The room was charming, looking into inner courtyard and with deep claw bath in separate bathroom. Very pretty. ||Karine is a warm and most attentive hostess. She provides a tasty breakfast with delicious jams.|Communication could possibly be somewhat difficult if you do not have a smattering of French.||I would warmly recommend this place for your stay in Lyon, and hope to return one day.

Arriving in the narrow streets of Croix Rousse by car in the dark after 12 hours on the road is not to be recommended. However, once in a restaurant around the corner recommended by owner Karine, the stress levels dropped away fast.||||Nos Chambres en Ville is a good base to explore Lyon. The whole centre is in easy walking distance. Five minutes to the Hotel de Ville and the metro. Karine is a welcoming host. Rooms are clean and quiet, embedded as they are deep in the towering old buldings.||||Great character. Not perhaps for all, but if you want to experience Lyon, a good choice.||||
