Hotel Des Artistes - Lyon

brand-new and comfortable quiet units with added space, which clearly comes handy for cooling drinks, large desk. excellent location and absolutely courteous staff members upon advanced request.

Really enjoyed good sized and extremely pleasant rooms.

I was offered a room with PLEASANT views of the Cathedral. The breakfast was sumptuous and delicious and all the food was great. Friendly service, although a few employees were impolite.

The hotel is close to a great many good restaurants, next to the river where you can stroll and in a quiet square. We enjoyed walking in the local area and it was only a short walk to the main shopping street in Lyon and the main town square. The hop on - Hop off bus was good and the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourviere is worth a visit. Some of the reception staff were very helpful. The room was small but very clean and good enough for just a flop and drop couple of days.

Some of the staff were not very helpful. They were not interested when the wifi didn't work in the bedroom. I am sure they knew about but feigned ignorance. It was a minor inconvenience but the deceit was most annoying. For the cost it wasn’t good value or service.

Great central Lyon location. Double room was a good size, nice big bathroom. Fantastic place to stay if you're visiting central Lyon. If you have a car and are travelling around, then there is parking just over the other side of the river which was secure. Within a few minutes walk are the cobbled streets where all the bars and restaurants are. It was hugely entertaining and buzzy, with great food and lots of variety - even on a Monday night!

The breakfast was a little on the stingy side for the price and considering we were in France's gastronomic capital, plastic tasting "mini" croissant and pain au chocolat were not really what we were expecting.

I had such a comfortable stay with a fabulous walk-in shower and loved the fresh breakfast selection. The cleanliness was top-notch and gave me peace of mind. I'd definitely return!

Delicious breakfast choice with meats, espresso and also nice fresh food. Reasonably priced, airy and big room with a balcony and bathtub and a view over the Place des Celestins. Phenomenal and unbeatable location in Lyon, really close to the funicular and homemade jams and preserves to meats and cheeses and eggs made to order.

It has a great location near to Easy to get to transport, the shops, restaurants, bars and old town, and many other sites.

The hotel was very pleasant, the staff was helpful, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. It is well located for visitors whose travel through the city is done mainly on foot. The river is within two blocks, as is the Tourist Information Bureau where one can line up day trips to areas outside the city. A twenty minute walk over the river takes one to the funicular for a ride to the top of Fourviere Hill for a visit to the Notre-Dame Basilica and a wonderful view of the city.

Although one hour of free internet time is available on the hotel's computers, the cost of getting on-line on one's own computer is expensive. Would recommend lowering the rate or providing free wi-fi considering the cost of the room.

We explored the old town and enjoyed shopping at nearby boutiques. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. Our room was spacious and comfy. The staff were super friendly too! Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a convenient spot.

The only downside was the thermostat's blue light that was a bit distracting at night.

Excellent service, clean and atractive rooms, good for the money.

large size of the room - biggest room we stayed in while in France

Air conditioning never got the room cool enough for me

Good location.

Air conditioning system not working. Lobby small and crowded. Breakfast room small and crowded. Breakfast and service were poor. Hotel staff would not help in finding taxi company where we left our jacket, and therefore was lost. We changed to a different hotel after the first day.

Location, location,location! A very comfortable hotel with high standards of cleanliness. Ideally located for visiting Lyon . being central for the old town,, restaurants and main tourist sights.

Friendly staff makes you feel at home with unbeatable location across from the theater

Really good location, friendly staff, clean room.

Very good location, comfortable room, basic breakfast
