Nice little hotel on the fringe of Old Lyon, near zillions of restaurants. The room was so small that there was absolutely no drawers for unpacking, which was fine since we were only spending one night. The closet was about 8 hangers wide! Bathroom was very nice; view of the building next door not so great. We'd look around for... more

We had booked to stay at The College Hotel but on arrival they had processed our reservation incorrectly and didn’t have a room for us. We were basically palmed off to the Phenix for the night and were told it was “a nice 3 star hotel facing the river with a duplex room”. Our allocated room was indeed a duplex... more

Located on the edge of the Old Quarter in Lyon, the hotel area offers a mix of residential neighborhood and tourist district. Most major attractions can be reached on foot from the hotel which fronts on the river. The room was large, quiet and clean – with interesting architectural details. The building underwent a restoration that was designed to preserve... more

Our one night stay in Lyon was our most diappointing in our 3 week holiday. Le Phenix was shabby, amenities weren't working, our requested and confirmed king size bed did not materialise and the staff appeared to be disinterested. Website photos certainly misrepresented the room that we had. I won't be recommending it to anyone who asks. more

Great Location, large rooms, friendly helpful staff. I would definitely stay here again. Unusual coloured bathroom suite ( Heinz cream of Tomato Soup red !) more

This hotel is easy to reach by public transport and well located - it takes a couple of minutes to walk to Vieux Lyon, and there are a couple of bars and a supermarket nearby. Well worth visiting the bakery just over the river (take the bridge immediately next to the hotel) - the bread and pastries are very tasty!... more

Not very clean and kind of drabby. I wouldn't stay here again. In fact, we moved to a different hotel the next day. more

The Phenix Hotel is a terrific place to stay in Lyon. It is a very cozy hotel, with 36 rooms. Our room was a "junior suite" and was quite large. It had a sitting area consisting of a small sofa, two chairs, three tables, television, refrigerator and a large, clean bathroom downstairs and a bedroom with a comfortable king sized... more
