Académie Hôtel Lyon

We recently stayed at Académie Hôtel Lyon during a family trip to Lyon, and it was an excellent choice. Located right in the heart of the old town, the hotel offers unbeatable convenience—just steps away from charming cobblestone streets, local cafés, and major attractions. The area is quiet and peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, going the extra mile to assist with recommendations and check-in procedures. Our room was spacious enough for three adults, though the sofa bed in the kitchenette area felt a bit tight for sleeping. Still, cleanliness and comfort were top-notch—the bedding was fresh, the space well-organized, and everything worked perfectly. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, appreciated the central location, and would definitely recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a cozy, authentic experience in Lyon.

The service at Hotel des Celestins was absolutely outstanding. Located right in the heart of Lyon, this hotel offers a modern and comfortable room with excellent space and style. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and welcoming—truly a highlight of the stay.

They even offered to send it to me, though I managed to retrieve it before catching my train. This level of care and attention to detail made a lasting impression. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my first visit. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone traveling to Lyon.

Celect'in Lyon

This stay was a nightmare. I traveled with a group of friends and booked two apartments at this property, but upon arrival, we found other people already inside our rooms. We tried contacting the owner all night long with no response. At 4 a.m., we had to scramble to find another hotel. The next day, the owner finally replied, blaming the mix-up on other guests who had mistakenly entered the wrong units (!!). She offered us only one of the two reserved apartments plus a small studio for two people—meaning we, a group of seven, were given space for just six. We ended up sleeping three in one bed, which was extremely uncomfortable. When we pointed out how unfair and unprofessional this situation was, she responded, "If you agree to stay here, don’t cause any more problems." That kind of attitude is unacceptable. I can’t recommend this place at all. The entire experience was stressful, disorganized, and deeply disappointing. Never again.

The value for money is outstanding, especially with such a high level of hospitality. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lyon and will definitely be back.

Ho36 Hostel

I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the beds were at this hostel—definitely not what I expected from a youth hostel. While it's not right in the city center, it's super accessible via public transit, making it easy to reach major attractions without hassle. The ground-floor café-bar is a real highlight—great vibe, tasty drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. It’s clear the team cares about guest experience, from the clean, cozy rooms to the friendly staff. This place offers incredible value and charm, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a relaxed, authentic hostel experience in Lyon.

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.
