We had the rotund suite on the top floor and it was just perfect! Plenty of room. It felt like a little apartment in the heart of Lyon, with beautiful views of the Square and the river. We loved it so much sometimes it was hard to leave. But when we did, we were able to walk just about everywhere... More

The most striking thing about this hotel is their excellent service. We have been to lots of European hotels but the staff here goes beyond the call of duty. Complimentary drinking water and chocolate is given every day, and the reception staff always greet us with a smile whenever we return. We feel very welcome here indeed. Location is right... More

This is a gorgeous hotel, close to all the best sights in Lyon. The rooms are huge and ours looked out over a beautiful square. The staff were friendly and professional. The metro is outside the front door. Everything about this place reeks style. It's the place to stay in Lyon.

Traditional and cosy first class hotel with excellent service and remarkable restaurant, in the plain centre of Lyon. The courtyard is small and dark, ask for rooms facing the streets - well soundproofed and with small balconies.

A lovely boutique hotel that, despite being larger than you might think, offers a level of intimacy that you would normally get at a smaller hotel. The hotel is in a wonderful location and the décor in the rooms is very ‘French’ which is, of course, most appropriate, although the bathroom was a little ‘tired’. In terms of service the... More

A wonderful hotel and very well located! A lot of restaurants and breakfast options right across the street. Did not have the oportunity of being received by any lady at the reception so cannot affirm or deny the quality of attention given by her, what the the other reviews are complaining about. I was very well attended with all the... More

The location was fabulous. The room incredibly small - even for European standards. The staff was indifferent, dismissive and rude. Customer service is only a remote concept - there is absolutely NO customer service there. The hours of breakfast service and other food options were completely incompatible with the real traveler. If you weren't a local or from France -... More

After a 16 hour flight and 3 hours train ride, we arrived in Lyon, France greeted by rain and cold weather. Expecting a warm welcome and concern from the hotel staff, the only words spoken by the lady hotel receptionist is that, you're room is not yet ready, please come back after 1-2 hours (we arrived 1pm). Good enough the... More

We had a very pleasant stay at Le Royal over a long weekend. The location of the hotel is great, right on Place Bellecour, just two minutes walk from the shopping on Rue de la Republique and Re de Victor Hugo, about 8-10 minutes walk from the restaurants and bars of Rue Merciere and 12-15 minutes walk from the Old...
