The People Lyon

Just wanted to add a quick follow-up on the earlier comment about the hairdryer issue—there’s a notice in the elevator stating that front desk staff can lend them for free. I used it twice, just had to leave my passport as deposit, which was super convenient. The hotel restaurant offers a 10% discount, perfect for late arrivals who want a casual bite, though some dishes may sell out by then (sadly). In terms of taste, I still found the local spots better—especially the Lyon salad; after trying the hotel’s version, I went out and had one from a nearby bistro, and honestly, the outside one tasted far fresher and more authentic. That said, the hotel itself is well-located, staff are friendly, and the overall experience is smooth and hassle-free. Great value for money, highly recommend for travelers looking for a relaxed stay with a local vibe.

Slo Lyon les Pentes

First time staying here and overall, I'm really pleased! The bedding is super comfortable, and the dorms are spacious with a peaceful atmosphere—everyone was respectful of others' rest. The bathrooms are clean, showers have consistent hot water, and there's a hairdryer available, which is a nice touch. The only minor issue is that the pancake machine in the breakfast area is awkwardly placed, making it a bit tricky to use. But honestly, this doesn't take away from the great value and vibe of the place. It's well-located for exploring Lyon, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a cozy, budget-friendly stay.

InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu by IHG

Staying at the InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu by IHG was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a 40-minute walk to the historic hill of Fourvière, the majestic Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral, and the ancient Roman Theatre. The morning views from the city skyline are stunning, especially when you start your day with a delicious breakfast. The breakfast spread is impressive: fresh fruits are available both pre-cut and whole. I chose the whole kiwi, apples, pears, and oranges, and staff kindly sliced them for me right after I placed them on my tray—such a thoughtful touch. The hotel offers valet parking at €42 per night, which is reasonable considering the central location and high level of service. Every detail feels intentional, from the elegant décor to the attentive staff. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience. I’d definitely return and recommend it to any traveler visiting Lyon.

Boscolo Lyon Hotel & Spa

Staying at this boutique hotel in the heart of Lyon was an absolute delight from check-in to check-out. The only minor tweaks I’d suggest: 1) the bar lacked stools, making it less comfortable to sit and enjoy drinks; 2) the Nespresso machines didn’t come with single-serve creamers or powder—so we had to request cold milk separately at a €5 charge, which felt a bit steep; 3) like many European hotels, there were no face cloths (or serviettes carrés) provided in the room—curious, what do Europeans actually use to wipe their faces? The lobby exudes elegance and warmth, while the Grand Salon feels straight out of a film set. Rooms, though on the smaller side, are smartly designed, incredibly comfortable, and feature excellent air conditioning and powerful rain showers. After a long day exploring Lyon, the basement spa area—complete with pool, sauna, steam room, and tea lounge—was pure bliss. Cocktails were crafted with care and served in vintage glassware, though martinis and old-fashioneds could use a bit more spirit. Breakfast was outstanding—full of variety and delicious options, including the ability to order avocado toast, truffled omelette, or œufs à la coque à la carte. Definitely book the B&B rate to avoid the surprise €39 per person fee if you’re not already included. Angelo’s, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, looked tempting but leaned toward the pricier side—we opted for dining out each night in Lyon’s culinary capital district instead. Staff were genuinely warm and attentive throughout. This hotel easily ranks among my top three reasonably priced boutique stays in Europe.

Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel

Our family evening at Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel was absolutely unforgettable — a perfect blend of elegance, warmth, and exceptional dining. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like long-time guests, with genuine hospitality that put us at ease right away. The restaurant’s cuisine is truly special, featuring local ingredients like Mézenc beef, fresh mountain foraged produce, omble chevalier, confit veal with Beaujolais cider, and cheeses from Villechenève — each dish told a story of the region’s rich culinary heritage. A heartfelt thanks to Chef Anthony Bonnet for his creative, thoughtful cooking. The bar team also shined with expertly crafted cocktails that elevated the whole experience. It’s only a matter of time before this gem earns a star in a famous culinary guide. We’re already planning our return — just to relive a little more of this joy.
