Hotels in Vieux Lyon - Saint-Irénée - Lyon

Positiv:: Beautiful, well run hotel in a great location with stunning views over Lyon. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant on one night and on another night at a small, well known restaurant booked for us by the hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful. We had a room on 2 floors with bedroom upstairs and sitting room and bathroom with separate wc downstairs. We were very happy with it, it had a Juliet balcony with beautiful views. This hotel has a lovely welcoming atmosphere.

Negativ:: It didn't matter much for us but walking back from the town the hotel is up a long flight of steps, however they do lead down into the heart of the old town which is very convenient. Driving isn't a problem though (apart from the one way system and roadworks when we were travelling) and there is parking outside the hotel and valet parking also.

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Tolle Lage mit Sicht über die Altstadt. Ausgezeichnetes Hotelrestaurant.

Positiv:: Location, service, view, room, dining, etc. are all impeccable. One of the best hotel I been to.

Negativ:: Das Zimmer war dunkel eingerichtet. Innerhalb des Zimmer's befanden sich zwei Treppenstufe.

Positiv:: Extremely professional and friendly staff throughout the hotel. Lovely hotel and the pool area was very nice as was breakfast on the terrace. Large bathroom

Negativ:: The price of the breakfast buffet was a bit steep.

Positiv:: What we liked was everything! This is a beautiful (ex convent) hotel in a position overlooking Old Lyon, but also with views over the greater city, within a short distance (via a choice of two flights of approximately 200 steps each if you're on foot) of the centre of the old town.

Negativ:: There is nothing to dislike or criticise.

Positiv:: The staff was amazing...especially Perrine and Morgan!

Negativ:: The bed pillows were oversized and hard. I would like the option of a goose down pillow. Also, a hand rail in the shower would be nice since the surface was slippery.

Positiv:: Beautiful hotel with wonderful courteous staff

Positiv:: Breakfasts were sublime. Staff were generally excellent and very happy to help.

Negativ:: Villa Florentine booked us a private limousine with chauffeur to greet us at the airport.........ONLY THEY DIDN'T CONFIRM IT THE DAY BEFORE AND SO NOBODY TURNED UP..........Being abandoned at the airport NOT A GOOD START. Very sloppy for a 5 star Relais et Chateaux establishment. A lot of distress for an elderly couple. As it was our Golden Wedding Anniversary, I had booked a table on Les Terrasses only to be refused admittance as they didn't have a note of my reservation and thus we were embarrassed and humiliated in front of the dining room. Eventually 30 minutes later after I was able to present a printed copy of my reservation, they found us a table !!......meantime my wife had changed to go somewhere else and effectively the whole sense of the occasion had been ruined.........Golden Wedding Anniversary (50 years). For what is supposed to be one of the finest dining rooms with the best Michelin starred 'gourmet food' around, even the food was less than average with very little taste. And yes we've eaten in many top establishments and so we know what to expect............and that wasn't it !! The food was very underwhelming, and I don't say that because of what went on before..........it really was NOT there on the taste department. On the domestic side, the towel rail in the en suite was thick with dust........every single rail......not to be expected in a 5 star establishment. The front of house staff did their very best to make up for these transgressions and voluntarily amended my bill. Unfortunately something you have been planning and organising for months can't be suddenly put right, even if they were cancelling the whole bill.........which they certainly didn't. It should have been a fairy tale stay with a fairy tale evening enjoying fine food and wines in a wonderful atmosphere and ambience......AND IT WAS NOT. RUINED WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A THANKYOU TO MY WIFE FOR 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.

Positiv:: isolated location but with good views from some rooms.

Negativ:: A number of rooms and suites are located in a building about 50 meters from the main building. lower down the hill with no views . From this building to the restaurant and swimming poll , guests have to navigate three elevators and walk about 100 meters, which is very inconvenient.

Positiv:: My wife and I were very impressed by the extremely friendly and helpful welcome we received on arrival. Our room was beautiful with a lovely view over Lyon. The hotel itself is very stylish and in a great position, high above the old quarter.

Positiv:: Fantastic location. WOnderful restaurant.Helpful staff.

Negativ:: No criticism of the property itself but visitors should be aware that it is located on a steep hillside. We were there during a heatwave so taxis were a necessity when returning from the town.

Positiv:: Access to this hotel by car is a nightmare. No parking, no garage. The chap said they would park my car but could not tell me where. We chose not to stay. The chap apologised but they have still charged £351. Avoid this if you drive anything bigger than a smart car!

Positiv:: Cour des Loges is located in the middle of Old Lyon, and is surrounded by many restaurants and shops, with easy access to many of the city sights. The hotel restaurant is a Michelin one star but unfortunately for us, it seems all highly rated restaurants in Lyon are closed on Sunday (and perhaps Monday as well). Very competent and courteous staff. The establishment is in an ancient building, with lots of old world atmosphere. Along with that it also has a spa with a sauna, a steam room, a pool and a hot tub! Our room opened onto a very private balcony garden (accessible from other rooms as well).

Negativ:: Breakfast was on the expensive side, the reason for us not eating there in the morning. Parking is a ten minute walk away and it's very expensive, but that's not the fault of the hotel, that's Lyon...

Positiv:: Mitten drin

Negativ:: Zu Teuer.. unsere Zimmer ist in die Jahren gekommen und viel zu Dunkel

Positiv:: This hotel is located in Old Lyon and it does not disappoint on charm and character! Our room as unique and comfortable. We visited the spa after arrival and enjoyed the sauna and pool for the afternoon. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Negativ:: Wish we could have stayed an additional night!

Positiv:: Everything. The building is amazing. Renaissance. The rooftop garden is really cosy, don't miss the stairs to the right past the bees (They make their own honey). The bar is great, it has a good ambiance that goes around very well with the rest of the property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It felt real, not artificial. The car parking service was really great. After a long journey, the front window was covered by insects. They cleaned it. The best thing still is the center part of the hotel, which is an indoor court covered by a window roof. Pictures can't do it justice. Did I enjoy our stay there? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes. Will I return? Ohh, yes...

Negativ:: No problem for us, but people should know, that depending on the room, you have an open bathroom. It is only separated from the sleeping area by a curtain.

Positiv:: location is exerrent.

Negativ:: Ventiration should be improved.

Negativ:: die bartende war unangenehm unfreundlich. die zimmer sind extrem klein und unzweckmässig ausgestattet. es gab kaum ablageflächen. der hotel ist in der altstadt. die altstadt von lyon riecht unangenehm nach urin und abwässern. touristenmassen sind unvermerindlich.

Negativ:: Really difficult to access if you have a car

Positiv:: Hat einfach alles gepasst ! Sehr schönes Hotel in sehr guter Lage. Extrem freundliches Und fähiges Personal!

Positiv:: Lage

Negativ:: Restaurant war grotten schlecht

Positiv:: Quality of the renovation was tasteful and well done. There were plenty of facilities (gym, spa, bar & restaurant) which were excellently appointed. The bedroom was of a good size and very tastefully decorated.

Negativ:: Very little to dislike. Unfortunately there was an outside party happening near the hotel late into one of the nights but there is little the hotel could do about that.

Positiv:: It is elegant, beautiful and classy.

Positiv:: Charmantes Hotel mit freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personal. Sehr sauber und die Sitzbereiche sind sehr hübsch

Positiv:: It was perfect

Positiv:: Great quirky hotel. Decor was so refreshing and fun. Very relaxed lobby making you want to spend time lingering in the library. Location perfect for exploring the old town. Also great to have outdoor shaded space to relax and read.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Die Lage in der Altstadt von Lyon ist perfekt! Außergewöhnliches Ambiente. Sehr gutes Frühstück , auch mit Eiern und kleiner Wurst-und Käseauswahl. Möglichkeit einen sicheren Garagenplatz zu mieten.

Negativ:: Unser Zimmer war wirklich sehr klein, trotz gehobener Kategorie, für einen Kurztrip geht es aber. Die Parkplätze in der Garage sind extrem eng.

Positiv:: Lovely decoration. Quiet air conditioned rooms. Loved the School theme! Breakfast was good. Location excellent. Friendly, helpful staff.

Negativ:: A little expensive.

Positiv:: The location is perfect for exploring Lyon. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was extraordinary!

Positiv:: Location is fantastic, at the heart of the old City. Hotel attire is nice Maintenance is good

Positiv:: Very comfy bed, fantastic location, very quirky, fun hotel

Positiv:: Great location in the old parts of Lyon. The balcony was very nice, however small - but still with views to the city. In general I'm not a fan of theme hotels. Yet, they somehow pulled it off with the college theme even though we were somewhat older than the other guests. Some people may find the style too hostel like, I usually do. But for some reason I did not mind with the Collège Hotel.

Negativ:: The rooftop bar was not in use. I don't know whether this was caused by lack of interest by the hotel guests or if the bar was closed during our stay. Either way the local area has plenty of alternatives.

Positiv:: Super freundliche und unkomplizierte Rezeption nach dem Motto: was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht - da werden Eiswürfel organisiert, obwohl es im Haus keine hat, ein Zimmer organisiert, in das auch ein Babybett passt (irgendwie waren nur 2 Erwachsene gemeldet und somit war unser Kind anfänglich nicht auf dem Radar.) und auch der nicht vor-reservierte Parkplatz in der Parkgarage war ganz schnell möglich! (Die Parkgarage ist nicht sehr groß und wird über einem Autoaufzug befahren. Aber unser SUV hat trotzdem reingepasst - es benötigt einfach etwas Ruhe und Parkgeschick.) Die Lage könnte nicht besser sein! Das Zimmer mit Ausblick ist sehr zu empfehlen und die schalldichten Fenster leisten ihren Dienst wirklich gut! Kostenloses Wasser aus dem Kühlschrank im Foyer für unterwegs oder für aufs Zimmer ist ein super Service. Frühstück auch super - mit Käse(verschiedenes aus Frankreich), Eiern, Obst, Baguette, Croissants, Toast, Orangensaft und Kakao sehr lecker. Bequemes Bett und schöne Regendusche! Zimmer durch Schulthema schlicht gehalten - es braucht auch nicht mehr.

Negativ:: Von außen leuchten die Fenster des Hotels im diversen Farben - leider sind die Vorhänge, obwohl sie sehr schwer und wertig sind - nicht ganz „Lichtdicht“ - da musste man dann Dir Leuchten abdecken.. ein kleiner Kühlschrank auf dem Zimmer hätte den Wasserkocher noch abgerundet.. aber das geht in Ordnung.

Positiv:: Die Ausstattung war nach dem Thema sehr gut gemacht, Zimmer sauber ordentlich und groß genug, Frühstück lecker, super ist die Terrasse im 2. OG, wo man abends noch ein Bier/Wein bekommt, tolle Lage für Touristen

Negativ:: Ausschilderung zum Hotel könnte besser sein, das Navi hat die Straße aber die Hausnummer nicht gefunden

Positiv:: Hotel in perfekter Lage, Ausstattung gemütlich und funktionell.

Negativ:: Das Frühstück kann nicht empfohlen werden.

Positiv:: Location and facilities, and the fact that it's dog friendly.

Negativ:: The room is extremely small. Comfortable and clean, however.

Positiv:: We had booked an apartment located in an annexe but on arrival were offered an upgrade to a junior suite serviced by a lift for an extra 4 Euros, which represented excellent value given the location.

Negativ:: The suite was quite dark as it was painted in a deep shade of rosy red and there was impact damage to walls in both sitting area and the bathroom which suggested a lack of care.

Positiv:: Ambiance, Lage des Hotels,

Negativ:: Sanitäreinrichtungen nicht auf dem neusten Stand, zum Teil defekt

Positiv:: Das Hotel hat eine wunderbare Lage inmitten der Altstadt und "atmet" Geschichte. Das Appartement war großzügig und ordentlich mit schönem Blick in die Altstadt.

Negativ:: Der Zimmerservice kam in den 4 Tagen kein einziges mal. Die Lampen im dunklen Treppenhaus waren teilweise defekt und wurden nicht ausgetauscht, obwohl das bei der Anreise dem Hotelpersonal selbst aufgefallen war.

Positiv:: Das besondre Hotel fügt sich ausgezeichnet in die historische Kulisse der Altstadt ein. Absolut zentral. Anfahrt und Parken dadurch etwas aufwändiger, aber geregelt und etwas billiger als auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz. Zuvorkommendes Personal. Schönes Zimmer mit besonderem Ambiente. Im Foyer interessante Bilder vom aufwändigem Umbau der geschichtsträchtigen Häuser.

Positiv:: Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt

Negativ:: Frühstück für gebotenes zu teuer. Wird am Personal gespart! Zur Frühstückszeit nur eine Kraft für das gesamte Hotel !

Positiv:: Great location, helpful staff, very convenient for exploring the old aspects Lyon.

Negativ:: Internet service didn't work at all. Had been down for over one week.

Positiv:: We stayed at an apartment next to the hotel which was reasonably priced, right in the old city center. They have a car park very near the hotel.

Positiv:: Outstanding location, charming restoration and decoration, the Asian woman in Reception evenings was very efficient and helpful.

Negativ:: Maintenance of the facility seems to be an issue, unfortunately. Our room was only superficially clean. The was a loud noise of running water in the toilet. The young man in Reception during the day seemed relatively uninterested, in the noise and just about everything else. The 18euro breakfast is not worth it.

Positiv:: La Tour Rose ist ein sehr stimmungsvolles Hotel, das in das Ambiente der historischen Altstadt hervorragend integriert ist. Alles ist in unmitelbarer Nähe zu erreichen!

Negativ:: Da Frühstück könnte besser sein. Kaffee und Joghurt sehr gut. Käse mangelhaft.

Positiv:: The hotel had a unique atmosphere which we really enjoyed. The young man on reception was most helpful in sorting out our parking problems. Everything about it felt very special and we really enjoyed our stay, we were sorry it was for only one night.

Positiv:: the location

Negativ:: it needed a bit of updating..the room was the same as last time we stayed 7 years ago...mattress hard, lights not working, tatty blinds.

Positiv:: The front desk service was excellent the room was very spacious and the bathroom was well set out.

Negativ:: The room we were in was a bit noisy from the street.
