This hotel was very well located. The wifi connection was inaccessible from the rooms but ok in reception albeit very slow. The floorboards were very squeaky and broken under the carpet but the rooms are clean and relatively spacious it is worth a visit More

We live in the UK and have 2 daughter living in Paris and 1 in Barcelona. We regularly drive to Paris and then on to Barcelona and always stop overnight in Lyon at the Hotel des Artistes. Not only is it an excellent hotel but it's location in the Place des Celestins is perfect for us as it is only... More

I took a group of eight travel clients to France for two weeks and they began their trip in Lyon. My comments about rooms are strictly about the slightly more-expensive and larger classic rooms, and not about the cheaper, smaller, standard rooms (which I believe some of the reviewers have had, based on their comments). The simply-conceived rooms are not... More

Was not really expecting much from this 3 star hotel, however our room was not properly cleaned and the rubbish not emptied. There was a disgusting smell coming from the toilet and the pipes were leaking water over the floor. Shower was dirty and rusty.

We had a great time staying Hotel des Artistes. Nice decor; modern, minimalist and not overly fussy. Checking in and out took seconds and the reception were very helpful in finding us a restaurant for dinner on a busy Saturday night. Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. No view out the window except to a concrete wall and no... More

I stayed at this hotel for one night with a friend during a quick trip to Lyon. We found it to be comfortable, with a great location. There is no old world charm, and the hallway decor was a little overwhelming -- but the friendly staff, comfortable bed and great location more than made up for these issues. Plus the... More

Hotel des Artistes is situated in the best spot in Lyon if you are taking a City break. In a quiet street next to the charming place des Celestines, you are 2 minutes from the Pont Bonoparte leading directly to Vieux Lyon (the old town), whilst also only 7/10 minutes walk from the metro in Place Bellacour together with the...

We stayed there for one night during Jul11 for our one month's trip to Europe. We are in our 30's. The hotel is quite small and old. Our room was fairly small and the toilet was in a very tightly contained area in the bathroom so ppl with average size cannot sit properly on the toilet. The location was not... More

This hotel is in the heart of Lyon and we really enjoyed our stay here. Yes the room is small, but its well formed and who wants to spend time in your hotel when there's so much to do in Lyon? I would think twice about it again though as its not ideal if you have a car, as its... More
