Hôtel de Paris, Lyon

Lovely, large room. Friendly staff. Complimentary soft drinks and coffee are offered every afternoon in the lobby. Central location less than ten minutes walk from the old town.

I had a fine stay in an unique hotel near to the city center, retrofitted into an older building (with all of the issues that provides). Themed rooms are interesting, but ultimately the commitment to theme can mean a downgrade in service (I would've preferred an actual TV to the weird Mac Computer TV, for example). Very small elevator meant taking turns to get up to the fifth (sixth) floor. The bathroom had been redone, which was nice, but it was a very small room and it meant squeezing into a shower as the door opened inwards(!), as there was no space for it to open out. Probably the thing that would freak most people out is that I returned to my room midday to find the door propped open and folks painting the door. It was a little disconcerting, but ultimately they're professionals doing work, nothing was missing, but I also got no heads-up about it and I might've handled my belongings differently had I known. The AC worked very well in my room, but it was a little noisy. International travelers will understand what a 3 star hotel means in this instance, but American travelers used to amenities at that level like hair conditioner in the shower, or an ice machine or in-room fridge, or an iron & ironing board, will probably be disappointed. Either pay for an upgraded hotel or go full-rustic and know what you're getting.

Clean, quiet room, friendly staff, great location!

Great location, walking distance from every point of interest. Staff were very helpful and kind. There was a problem with the hot water in one day, but it was fixed quickly and we even got refund for our inconvenience.

Great location , close to most attractions in the area and friendly staff.

Great location near main attractions, shops and restaurants

Excellent locality very close to old town and restaurant area.Hand held shower was annoying.

Great hotel in Lyon close to shops and trains. Good service at the desk, and breakfast is good. Room was clean and had aircon.

Great location however rooms are really small. There was a nasty smell in the room and since the hotel was full they couldn’t change our room. They offered a discount.

Excellent location, room and staff! The room was small, but efficient and clean. I have NEVER before seen in a hotel FREE cold drinks, coffee and fruits, which HDP offers to its guests. The staff speaks very good English, really friendly and helpful, with one person (William) even taking an initiative to find a restaurant open on Sunday evening and book a table for me. The room cleaning was great, the bathroom was environmentally conscious with dispensers and towel change by request ( although the spare clean one was always there). The small issue was a noise late in an evening from a bar nearby and in a morning from service tracks, as it’s a city center. The window is noise canceling though and there is AC. Another issue is a low water pressure and the time it takes for hot water to reach the room, which are both regular issues in old beautiful buildings in France. Not a problem once one is aware and ready for this. Excellent stay overall!
