Very clean and comfortable room. There are 2 stairs in the room
Sylvie is a wonderful host - very friendly & helpful. The room is very spacious & well equipped. The view is wonderful & we appreciated the tasty daily breakfast. Thank you for a great stay in Lyon!
Sylvie was a lovely host and her breakfasts were excellent. She shared a lot about the city and what highlights we might be interested in seeing. Would definitely stay at Bienvenue Chez Sylvie on our next trip to Lyon.
Towards the end of a 2 1/2 week visit to France and Switzerland, this room, which is a single room within a house owned and managed by the proprietor, was a complete surprise. Far and away the best accommodation of my vacation. I was a solo traveler, but this room would also be great for 2.
We had a lovely 2 night stay at Chez Sylvie, everything was perfect. As many have said previously, Sylvie is a fabulous host and really enjoys having people stay at her bed and breakfast. Great location in the old town of Lyon, and the steep hill really gets the heart racing! What an amazing city, so much to see and especially the beautiful Basilica at the top of the hill overlooking the city!
We enjoyed meeting our host, Sylvie, each morning for a delicious breakfast! Sylvie had wonderful suggestions for travel in Lyon and could answer any questions. Her place is so lovely and quiet on the cobblestone streets of Vieux Lyon. We highly recommend!
Sylvie's BnB is absolutely amazing. We have done a lot of world travel, and Sylvie's place is unmatched. Her service is amazing and the room is exceptional.
The location is central to many places in Vieux Lyon, making it very walkable.
Sylvie is a spectacular host.
Sylvie was a delight to be with and so very welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely and fresh, with good views, good amenities, and a powerful shower. If I have the chance to come back, I would stay here again, not only for the room, but for Sylvie herself.
Sylvie has poured her heart into this beautiful and historic home on a quiet street with lovely views. The spacious room is at the top of the house. Her breakfasts are abundant and delicious and her company is fun! We feel lucky to have found her and her home. Sad to leave!
My young adult daughter and I stayed her for 2 nights and loved the place. Sylvie is a delight. Her breakfasts were really good and came with great conversation in her lovely kitchen. In the apartment room, we had plenty of privacy from the rest of the house, and we were able to come and go when we pleased. The room is meant to be somewhat of a couple’s get-away retreat. But my daughter and I were able to share it well. I highly recommend!
The property is beautiful and the view from the room is amazing. Sylvie is a wonderful hostess and strives to make your stay memorable. You do need to be in reasonable shape to walk the hill to get there, as well as to climb the stone stairs to the room. Given that, the short walk to shopping and restaurants makes the hill well worth it!
The hosts are a most charming couple and they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They helped with our luggage which was a godsend for two eighty year old travelers.
Our stay with Sylvie was brilliant. A perfect host who was welcoming, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. She wanted us to have the best possible Lyon experience.
Freshly made and beautiful breakfast every day. Sylvie always goes above and beyond to make her guests happy. Location perfect.

Amazing property, wonderfully placed near city center, and in excellent condition. But the best of all is wonderful Sylvie who makes you feel really at home. We highly recommend it
We spent three wonderful nights in Sylvie's place. The room was big and airy with a good bathroom and a jacuzzi. Very nice breakfast every morning at a time of our choosing. I need gluten- and lactose-free food, and that was not a problem. We really recommend this place.
The owner was amazing! She is a great host and made us feel so special. The house is stunning and is in old Lyon. We walked everywhere we wanted to go.
Sylvie's lovely home is well located in Vieux Lyon right near the river. She is very helpful and friendly, and serves a great breakfast. Perfect for the solo traveller who wants to meet a Lyonnaise! Merci Sylvie!!
I loved this B&B, which is in an interesting old house, well situated in 'Le Vieux Lyon'. The room was very comfortable and well equipped and it was very quiet. Sylvie and her husband are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is served in their lovely kitchen/ dining room. There are lots of good restaurants close by. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.
Our stay was wonderful. Host Sylvie is an absolute gem. Very attentive and helpful. Wonderful breakfast and we loved conversing with her in broken english and google translate. Not good if you dont like steps or steep streets.
Sylvie was welcoming and helpful, even lending me a coat when it rained. The location on a quiet side street in the old city is ideal. Plus, if you walk uphill then you will soon reach the Roman theater and museum. Altogether a memorable weekend in Lyon!
This is a beautiful room in a historical home near Old Lyon. Sylvie make a wonderful local breakfast each morning and is happy to recommend fun things to do each day if you’re curious.
Sylvie also booked a car to the airport on the final day so there was no stress. Great experience!
