Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the building and the view. We did have a car which we didn’t need with this location and left parked for 5 days. Just a short walk down the road were amazing Roman ruins and a Basilica with a funicular to the old town across the street. The steam room wasn’t working which was a slight disappointment. Overall, amazing stay!"

"Dormitorio muy bien. Linda vista a la ciudad. Baño: muy bien, nítido y limpio. Sugiero tener una alfombra pequeña antideslizante para la ducha para adulto mayor, porque el piso ducha es resbaloso."

"well located hotel, close to station and metro/tram stops. the hotel is clean, though slightly tired in places, but to no significant effect. the staff are all friendly and helpful. breakfast is good, though the mini baguette should be ditched. I'd rather have slices of full sized baguette."

Grand Hotel Des Terreaux

8/10 Good
"We loved the historic nature of the hotel with its 200 year old stone steps. The rooms were spacious and the furniture comfortable, though dated. Breakfast offerings were varied, though they need a way to keep the eggs warmer."
