The staff: Very friendly, kind and charming - especially Emily. The room: Why is there no place to put your clothes in? Only hangers... But nothing resembling a closet or even a shelf... Very inconvenient. No separation between toilet and room, no wall, no door. No ventilation in the toilet. Breakfast: No meat at all, eggs and mushrooms are cold, other than that okay. Very nice looking restauran...

Fantastic hotel, reception staff above and beyond helpful! Last minute stop over decision on our way back from south of France to UK. 2 adults and 3 teens -:rooms, comfy beds, linens facilities all excellent.

We loved our stay at the Mob Hotel, Lyon. We chose this hotel because of other good reviews, and it did not disappoint. Highlights included friendly, professional staff, a lovely room overlooking the river and interesting decor. As a book lover my husband particularly enjoyed the library in the dining area. We'd definitely recommend the Mob hotel and hope to return at some point.
