This is what a 4 star hotel should be like. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are nicely decorated with lovely bathrooms. The location is perfect - right in the middle of everything and surrounded by cafes and restaurants Their restaurant suggestions were great. I left my diamond earrings behind and they were very quick to have them safely... more

Located in the heart of Lyon, this hotel is fantastically positioned to act as a base to explore the city. The room was well appointed and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We were a little disappointed to find no hot drink facilities in the room. I would also have liked the iron and ironing board to be in the room... more

Le Royal is 50 meters from the subway stop and the bus stop is located at the lobby door. It is located in near the central square with walking distance to excellent restaurants , shopping., and nightlife. I stayed in a suite facing the square and it was very large. The lounge and breakfast cafe were very quaint. The breakfast... more

I had read all the reviews and wish I had chosen another hotel now! The good points were that my room (106) was sweet and charming if on the small side, the bed was deliciously comfortable and the room was quiet - plus I liked the balcony.

Wanted a hotel that was a bit different from the normal chains and we definitely found that here. The decor of the public rooms and bedrooms was lovely, even down to the framed silk prints on the corridor walls and the silver fobs on the door key. Staff we dealt with were hepful and welcoming and our room was beautiful... more

Extremely nice and helpful man. The breakfast was an experience. Everyone needs to do it. It's so France. The food was fantastic, the service incredible, and the ambience... more

I don't know what it was about this hotel but I loved it. It sits right on a corner of a central square in Lyon. Its very clean, rooms are great but there's something else. Its details maybe. I notice little things - mostly because they annoy me. For example the light switch near the bed is too far away... more

Living overseas but from Geneva, I decided after 40 years to finally visit Lyon... I selected Le Royal based on this website's review, and I was not disappointed. Le Royal is a very pleasant hotel with a homely kind of countryside feeling in the middle of Lyon. Very well located on Place Bellecour. We were kindly assigned a very nice... more

I find France to be a difficult country for hotels, so I was happy to see that Le Royal had quite good reviews on this website. And rightly so! Although it's not sheer luxury, the hotel is well appointed and very well maintained, and occupies a nice building right on the main square of Lyon. We had a room on... more
