Stayed for three nights in early June and couldn't be more pleased with our stay. From check in to check out the staff, design, and amenities were a delight. The heated lap pool and the impeccably clean spa and jacuzzi were welcome after a long day seeing the sites.

Hotel Carlton Lyon - MGallery Collection

Be enchanted by the Carlton Lyon hotel, located on the peninsula. Despite being fully renovated in 2013, it has retained its authenticity and personality, blending contemporary comfort with sophistication. Relax in one of the 80 tastefully decorated rooms or in the cozy atmosphere of the bar. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the Bellecour metro stop and is the ideal base for exploring Lyon, with its opera house, museums, the St. Jean cathedral and more. Located between the Rhone and Saone rivers, the Carlton Lyon hotel was built in 1894 as a "petit palace" in Lyon.

Long weekend

Reviewed By oxana772022

The pillows were quite hard and the amounts reserved on the credit card stayed rather long (billed 1 night in advance/ released 2 days after check out, then an amount reserved on arrival /2 days after check out still not released! and then a final bill at check out). For the rest nothing to complain about! Very nice hotel and SPA.

One night in Lyon

Reviewed By XavierK807

Due to bad weather conditions and amazing traffic jams we decided to make a stop o in Lyon. Without reservation we popped up at the reception of the mama shelter in Lyon and we were lucky as there were some free rooms. The check in was performed by a very friendly and polite guy and we feel more than welcome….. the room was directly available and was great. Once installed we went down to the restaurant which was more than full and overbooked. Luckily we get 2 places on the bar and we had a great dining experience in a more than trendy and lounge atmosphere…..great dinner and cocktails, all was more than perfect! The same for the day after for the breakfast….. All in one we did not regret our choice and we can more than warmly recommend this hotel as well the restaurant of the hotel! Excellent value for money!

We stayed here the night before we took the TVG to Paris CDG Airport. It was perfect. The bed was luxurious. The room as tight, but sufficient. There is a huge mall right next door, so any items you were hoping to be able to fit into your suitcase were right at your fingertips. There was a COVID testing site beside the mall.

Clean, sizeable apartments in a very convenient location

Reviewed By WeeKee

Our family of 4 stayed in the apartment during the busy Festival of Lights. The hotel is underrated, ticking many of the boxes travellers will want in a stay. First, while it is not in the town centre, the nearby metro station is only a few direct stops on the main line from the old Lyon and the centre. The train station will require a change of station at Saxe Gambetta but is also very accessible. The bustling parallel street from the hotel has plenty of eateries and some shopping as well. Second, the family apartments are sizeable, very clean and well equipped. It has a separate toilet and bathroom, and a small kitchen area with stove and microwave, even a dishwasher. With these apartments they only clean it for a week’s stay, but that works fine for us. Rooms are also quiet. When we stepped into the apartment the sofa bed was already set up, which we much appreciated. Third, the room rates are reasonable as compared to the more “central” area, and a lot less busy which my family appreciated. Fourth, the staffs are friendly and try to help where they can. We didn’t know that the checkout time for the hotel was fairly early at 11am, but they were very accommodating and granted us an extension. FYI those who are intending to use the pool which is highlighted in the hotel images, it is part of the spa and will require a fairly high extra charge. Overall it’s an excellent deal for an under-the-radar hotel, esp if you are a travelling family. If being located in absolute city-centre is not important, I highly recommend a stay at the hotel.

Boscolo Lyon Hotel & Spa

In a splendid setting between the Rhone and the Saone, in the most prestigious district of Lyon, a few steps from Place Bellecour and the Grand Hotel-Dieu, a majestic 19th century building, expertly renovated, is intended to become one of the most luxurious 5 stars hotel of Lyon. Let yourself be enchanted by the view from your room overlooking the Rhone or relax, while tasting a “ristretto coffee” in the luxurious Grand Salon, created in the former winter garden surmounted by a panoramic glass roof. The peculiarity of the Luxury Hotel Boscolo Lyon consists in the delicate balance between the splendor of the Haussmann’ architecture and the loveliness of the atmospheres created by the black marble, Vicenza stone, sophisticated curtains and other precious materials. Once acquired the hotel in 2002, Angelo Boscolo undertakes its metamorphosis at the end of 2018. The doors of the new Boscolo Lyon open.

Could be better

Reviewed By nunsisland

Great location, friendly staff, and good room size. Late check out is offered which I highly appreciated. Free water bottles and Toblerone chocolate in the minibar. The bathroom design is not the type I like as the toilet is in a separate area from the basin with poorly fitted glass door, and it is in the centre of the room, lacking privacy and sound proofing!!. 5 stars hotel should provide slippers in every room, we had to ask for slippers and we got the foam ones used in the spa (in the picture)!! Iron and iron table is not available in the room and you have to ask for it. Breakfast is poor and not worth the payment. Limited options and limited amounts? Parking costs 40€ per day including valet. We parked in a nearby public parking fir one and a half days and we paid 40€.
