to get started.

Wow! Says it all! The room, bed, breakfast, location all Superb!

Rick, United States of America

The room was very spacious, the bed wonderful, I liked the air conditioning worked well. Location is great, and staff helped us with anything we needed. We sometimes did have to wait for our car to be taken out for sometime, but were thankful for this service.

Daniel, United States of America

The room was very comfortable and the bed exceptional. All the staff we came across we're welcoming and helpful. Valet parking was not explained when I telephoned prior to booking but was excellent (thank you Gregory!). The location could not have been better - we were able to park the car and leave it for two days: we covered 2000 miles before arriving in Lyon so this was welcome.

Keith, United Kingdom

Superb location close to everything of interest in the Presque aisle and Vieux Lyon and wonderful restaurants on Place Bellecour and next to the metro.

James, United States of America

We stayed one night on our way to the Provence Hotel is really at the center of Lyon, in walking distance of the old center, the restaurant area, ...

Tom, Belgium

Best breakfast ever! Great location. Polite staff.

Siqi, United States of America

Beautiful hotel, extremely friendly staff, and very good location

Larry, Macau

Yes the bed was extra comfy and indeed the croissants fresh, warm and flaky as well as plentiful. It has a luxurious atmosphere, absolutely right for the category of hotel.

Cynthia, United Kingdom

Everything about this hotel is lovely - this is our second time staying here and it really is just extraordinarily comfortable! A delicious breakfast - more expensive than some but it really is top notch, think of it as being your lunch and have something small later in the day :) -. Can't say enough nice things about it really - great location, super restaurants nearby, bars, shopping etc. Helpful staff, quiet housekeeping, well-appointed rooms.

Miriam, Ireland

Service was excellent. There was a problem with the wifi on our floor & they immediately moved us to another (larger) room. All staff were friendly & helpful. Location couldn't be better.

“Sofitel.....Soft in the head to rate this 5 *****”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Access for guests is poor. Staff are not able to bring luggage trolleys to the car because of the steps into the hotel........no ramp or under cover access. Rooms were small and the bathromm was VERY small. It was literally impossible to sit on the toilet without hitting one's left hip/bottom on the toilet paper roll holder. ( I am 165 cms and weigh 60kl, hardly a large build!) The bathroom was not as clean as it should have been and in need of work. Doorways around the room were badly chipped and scratched. Despite advertising that there was room service, we had difficulty getting any food and the "choice" was very limited, moreover some options were unavailable. I cannot understand why a 5***** rating has been given to this hotel. It is simply not in the same league as the Rocco Forte Savoy in Florence nor the 4**** Westin in Paris which is more a 5 ***** The rating of the Royal is not accurate,it should be reconsidered. I was surprised that Sofitel own/ manage this place. It is priced at too high a level for its standard.
눇Beds were comfortable.

눉There is nothing in the hotel. No gym, no spa no chill out area. The hotel is overpriced for what it is and I struggle to see its 5 star rating by having literally just a bed to offer.
눇The location in the city centre was great. The soft furnishings are of high quality.

“Five star location and price but only three star amenities”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉This hotel has a five star location in a grand old building but 3 star amenities. We shouldn't have to unplug lamps and crawl under tables to get useable outlets for charging our devices. The bathroom is very tiny. Two people can't fit in at once. No space to put your things. The shower fixtures are old fashioned. You have to mix hot and cold water and be very careful to avoid flooding the bathroom. Unlike a true 5 star hotel they don't give you small bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Rather you have to squeeze them out of dispensers on the walls that often don't work. It is so cramped that you have to be careful in sitting down on the toilet to avoid bumping into the toilet paper dispenser. The 25 euro buffet is outrageously overpriced -- for this price you can get a three or four course dinner at many of the excellent bouchons nearby. The do offer. -- but avoid disclosing -- a perfectly adequate 10 euro petit dejeuner with juice, coffee or tea, bread and croissants.
눇Superb location close to everything of interest in the Presque aisle and Vieux Lyon and wonderful restaurants on Place Bellecour and next to the metro.
