"Had a wonderful time at the hotel and staff fantastic. Breakfast very good quality and variety. Highly recommend."

Boscolo Lyon Hôtel & Spa

8/10 Good

"I thought the hotel was lovely and the room was beautiful and very spacious. However, when we came in, there were no luggage racks in the room. We had no place to put our two bags. So we called down and waited three hours for luggage racks asking two or three times if they would be up soon. And we thought this was really Not great service."
