Keystone Hôtel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel and room were clean…staff were excellent…they helped us find where our river boat cruise was going to be docked for our upcoming week!"

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has an excellent location, I cannot think of any better one. The staff were very friendly and helpful, went out of their way to book a table for me at a highly recommended bouchon on a Saturday night when it was extremely busy. Also helped with other advice that I sought. The hotel is very nice and very clean. The room was spacious, bright, clean and pleasant to stay in even during the day, not only for spending the night. However, I found the bed too soft and since I suffer with lower back pain, with each night I was struggling more and more with the back pain. I am not sure if the Hotel would have done something about it if I had mentioned it to them, but I did not. And, secondly, I stayed there during the heatwave when it was necessary to run the air-conditioning unit in the room day and night. The hum of the fan, even though not loud, interfered with my sleep at night. Would I recommend the Hotel to my friends and family? Yes, definitely, but with the above two caveats. Would I stay again in the Hotel? Yes, but not during the heatwave and if I could discuss the need for much firmer bed with the Hotel management."

Intercontinental Lyon Hotel Dieu by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding hotel in Lyon. Beautiful space, spacious rooms with full amenities including a stocked minibar. Well staffed by professionals and very helpful at all Aspects of our stay. Location is very convenient and in a beautiful part of Lyon. One of the best hotel I have stayed at in France. Value for price is excellent. The breakfast is a delicious buffet. The restaurant is also very good with creative dishes. All in all a wonderful experience. We will be back."

Novotel Lyon Centre Confluence Bord de Saone

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel! The staff were all warm and helpful and frankly they pushed my stay from great to excellent! This hotel is well maintained, crisp sheets, strong showers and everything you can think of that makes a good hotel good. This hotel opens up directly into a cute little mall with food options and lots of nice stores. And there is a very nice walking space by the water to enjoy too… all just 2 minutes walk out the door.. lovely! That said, we arrived at night and the front entrance leaves someone with a less than stellar first impression. The graffiti embossed cement barricades out front do a real disservice to the lovely interior and wonderful service we encountered."
