I had a mixed experience at Globe Et Cecil. The location was fantastic, making it super easy to explore Lyon, but the room left a lot to be desired. It was pretty tiny and dark, and the bathroom was cramped too. The staff were friendly and attentive, which definitely helped my stay, yet I felt the room just didn’t meet the four-star standard they advertised.
