Lyon hotels in Vieux Lyon - Saint-Irénée

Location and ambiance

The bathroom shower

Location in Vieux Lyon.

Hotel does not live up to the expectations raised on the web-site. Our room did not have the level of comfort that one would expect for a four star hotel. Charging 50 euro's for breakfast is expensive.

The hotel is well located. The large open halls are beautiful.

n some ways it is a strange hotel. Is it a spa-hotel? No not really.

The concierge, Gerard, is a wonderful asset to the hotel. All staff were very friendly [ which is essential ] and efficient.

The room is very compact and the mezzanine bedroom very hot and stuffy with inadequate air-conditioning.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, and is in a great location.The bathroom was nice and spacious, and I loved the balcony which stretched over both the bedroom and the bathroom. The fridge on each floor with the complimentary drinks in it was a nice touch.

It's a bit overpriced, the bedroom was barely big enough for the 2 of us and our small bags. Our room was not cleaned on our last night, even though the staff were next to our room when we left that day.

Nice staff, great breakfast. Room & bathroom were both very big. Free wi-fi and free sodas & waters. Great loacation, walk to everything. Nice outdoor terrace for relaxing.

Hotel staff attitude was friendly and helpful. The design was nice and different. Like the idea of complimentary soft drinks, very thoughtful.

Great location, walk to everything, public transport just next door (tram), new bar next door by the same owners. Nice terrace garden.

I've stayed several times and have to say I was disappointed this time. The hotel is looking dirty and seriously needs a re-paint! Marks and stains everywhere on the walls (most of the rooms are 100% white so very noticable) and there was severe water damage in the bathroom, including peeling paint and mold. No drinks in the frige like the old days. Hotel simply not as nice as it used to be a few years back, feeling run down. Breakfast staff a bit unfriendly, Internet didn't work well, matress could be replaced... Overall too expensive for what you get.

The reception and friendliness of the staff and the size of the room and its quietness.

Good location in Lyon Vieux. Practical garage. Nice spacious room with view on the river.

The breakfast could have been better.

Friendly staff, very comfortable, clean room. It was close to the centre of Lyon.

Very helpful staff, spacious and clean room, very convenient place for touring around

Our executive room is not lift landing and the bedroom is on the 'upper deck', not satisfactory air conditioned during sleep

A cosy room, quiet, with a view of the river, central location

I did not know that there is such a problem with parking in the area. The reception clerk was very not helpful to find a solution (give me an advise where I can park my car), only saying that I had to book parking in advance. I would appreciate if he could direct me somewhere, but the attitude was - "don't bother me, it is your problem".

the location

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.

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.

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.

Good position in the old town surrounded by restaurants, and quiet.

The mattress was very old, probaby the same one when I last stayed tehre 15 years ago!

We were given one of their best rooms which was extraordinary, large and impressive with antique furniture - matching silk hung walls, curtains and bed spread - modern but eccentric bathroom with good sized bath. The service from a young staff was friendly and efficient.

Only part of the building had a lift. If you dont like 55 steps up of various ages dont book the above room!

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.

were not offered room on lower flors

Friendly hotel staff and good location.

Could do with more lighting in the room.

Central location, friendly staff, simple but comfortable room

It was under renovation but this is inevitable at certain times

The hotel is set in a Renaissance building which is unusual. Very good value for money for a hotel in Lyon and in this area.

We were staying on the first floor and it was very noisy. The type of building has an inner courtyard which make any sound echoing. The heating system must be pretty old too as the pipes were banging a good part of the night. Maybe if you stay in the upper floors, there might be less noise.
