First of all, the room size is very very small with no fridge and no water. If you need a bottle of water you need to ask the staff to fill one for you. The second bad thing is the very limited breakfast with no omlet for example, one coffee machine and you need to wait in a queue to get your cup of coffee. The third I didn’t like is the number of toilet papers they put everyday, just one roll and if you need more you got to ask for it

The best thing about the property is its location. It is in the middle of Lyon surrounded by many famous brands stores and few restaurants. Another good thing about it is the Staff who were very welcoming and nice with me. i liked its atmosphere, it is nice and comfortable

Very small double beds. Impossible to sleep comfortably together for two adults.

Great location and very cozy lobby with super friendly reception staff.

You should redo your bathrooms. Bathtubs are obsolete these days. They are a water waste and difficult to access for elderly and/or physically disabled people. A good shower would be sufficient. You should add some hooks on the walls for clothes and towels. There should also be a place or shelf for toiletries and cosmetics. At breakfast more fruit and some fat-free yogurt would be welcome.

The location is great and so is the restaurant with its terrace.

very clean and well located

USB ports were I sufficient

Room was as expected but needed more USB ports. Also shower drained slow and was difficult to operate but neither of these issues would stop me from returning or recommending this hotel. The staff were all phenomenal!

WiFi was inconsistent throughout the stay, especially in guest rooms.

Check in process was super easy, the room was perfect for a solo traveler, and the location was excellent.

Little space in room for luggage and no drawers. Other than a small hanging area, we had to live out if our suitcases and walk around them on the floor. Also I expected more amenities such as toiletries in bathroom.

Outstanding location close to all tourist attractions. Service was excellent. Hotel and room was very clean. Decor was quite modern and hip.

The lighting in one of the rooms was very dim. Too dark to read in bed at night.

Small, as advertised, but comfortable with all amenities.

The cooked breakfast wasn’t the best. The rest of it was fab.

Excellent location for the city, friendly staff.

You have to leave your key at the desk every time you leave the hotel and you just give your room number to get it back when you return— not very high security. That being said, there were no problems and it was a very nice place.

On the booking.com website the hotel was advertised as having Parking. In fact it does not have parking . The staff however were very helpful in suggesting alternative public paying car parks. They also allowed us to unload and reload our luggage outside the hotel on the street.

Location , staff super friendly and helpful, comfortable stay in a nice hotel with a lovely restaurant.

The room was really old and tiny and facing an inner courtyard which had a noisy heating system.

The location is fantastic. The staff if very friendly and they have a great restaurant and bar. They provide a kettle, ironing board and hairdryer on request so you have everything you need.

5 person capacity lift was a struggle for the larger gentleman, like me

Very modern reception, with lovely bar and restaurant areas, food was very good with very friendly and helpful staff

My room made me feel like a homeless person in a hostel. No hot water. AC extremely noise. Not possible to sleep with it on. Patio noise with a constant compressor noise. Not possible to sleep with the window opened. I summary: Do not stay in this hotel.

The hotel is rundown and hasn't been renovated in a long time. It feels dirty and uncomfortable. Old amenities are a fire hazard and not sustainable because they use too much electricity. Bathrooms are small and in a bad shape. Awkwardly, my closet was inside the bathroom and I couldn't use it so I kept my clothes in the room.

The location was fantastic in the elegant shopping centre, close to everything important in the city. The hotel is visually beautiful, transporting you to bygone times. You get a rare chance to stay at a truly quintessential Lyonaisse building for a reasonable price. Sustainability practices such as serving water in reusable bottles is fantastic.

Stayed here before for a few days in autumn 2022, and enjoyed stay greatly, including easy walking access from Perrache train station and to city; also very fine breakfast. When we had a night in Lyon this month in transit from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean coast by train, we did not hesitate to return to Globe et Cecil.

Perhaps three things: 1. the room's air conditioner broke down and, although the staff moved quickly to get a repairman, it was a weekend and no one would come, so I made do with a fan (which was actually preferable to me); 2. I didn't like the "low-flow" taps on the sinks, which sprayed in all directions; 3. the optional in-house buffet breakfast looked skimpy to me, so I did not partake (but everything looked fresh and tasty).

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.

Authentique boutique hotel in the center of Lyon. Perfect location to visit the city, close to shops, restaurants and metro. Very friendly staff and eco-friendly. I visit Lyon regularly and always check if Globe et Cécil is available for a good price (sometimes the price can be extraordinarily high)
