Maison des Canuts Hotels in Lyon, France

excellent desk staff-informative-good languages-extremely friendly. As I was attending the Lyon Opera on three evenings the hotel provided a first class venue and was very comfortable. I have stayed before and will stay there again.

We ended up staying at this hotel for two nights instead of the original one night that we booked. It was a great location to get around and see stuff in Lyon. And the staff was so helpful and courteous. Loved the room, it was charming and comfortable.

We booked this hotel as one central to the sights of Lyon - we wanted the option to return to the hotel for a rest during the day. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and when we mentioned the (temporary) renovation noise from the next door room (which was not part of the hotel) our room was changed without hesitation. Free coffee from a machine in reception and bottled water was an unexpected bonus.

Very pleased with this hotel, nice and comfortable , staff awsome Just one negative note: very much noise in the street below

Great hotel, was very happy with the price and best of all the location. The rooms were an excellent size for a boutique hotel right near the Republic Square. Just one tip, if you REALLY like a shower, then it may be best to inquire if your room has either a shower OR a bath or both.

We loved our apartment. Living in a 700 year old medieval building is pretty cool. It is heritage listed so renovations have kept the original features, which means that some things are a bit 'clunky' and don't happen with 21 century ease - like closing the shutters took a few steps. Despite the original very old. thick wooden door, the acoustics in the stairs mean that you can hear neighbours talking when they come home, but that's the price you pay for having such an original building. We would still recommend it. These 21 Century flaws are all part of the atmosphere. We will never forget our stay in this unique place. The bed was comfortable, we enjoyed having a fridge and kitchen. We'd go to the morning market along the river and buy some cheese, and fruit/vegetables for the next day's breakfast. The market was a lovely experience too. And practical as we found that the cafes in the old part of town were closed before 10 am. Don't think we would have found a coffee at that time. They should perhaps change their name from 'hotel' to 'apartments' as you just get the apartment and there is no 'front desk' to go to for help. Vincent who came to meet us on the first day was very helpful, and we could have emailed or called him if we needed anything. Good wifi. We walked from the main train station - 35 mins as we travelled light. In the next street, Rue de Boef, there are wonderful restaurants, some with Michelin stars (recent years). We ate so well in the old city

This hotel in in a great location in the Vieux Lyon area, near a myriad of great restaurants and shops. If you arriive by train to Gare Part Dieux, there is bus stop a few blocks away where i believe it is the C3 line that will take you to Gare St. Paul which is right across from the hotel. I didn't know this and took a cab that cost about 15 euros. The hotel is c lean and comfortable, not fancy. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful, mostly speaking English except for some of the night staff. A bit noisy on Friday and Saturday night as its across the street from some bars, but not bad if you use some cheap earplugs and I was right across the strreet so other rooms are farther and on the other side so you may want tto request a room on the Saone River side of the hotel. The breakfast is optional, but at 12 euros, is worth it and quite good, About a 15 minute walk to the nearest subway stops.

Right in the middle of Saint Paul in Lyon Vieux. Affordable for any budget and very helpful reception staff. The location is superb right next to various beautiful Traboulles and Miraboulles and surrounded by quality bars and bouchons. The nightlife is very trendy and geared to a younger crowd, Quite bohemian but always a very friendly atmosphere. The bars are excellent and cheap. Recommended for absolutely anyone. Rooms are a little on the small side but perfect for a city break. The beds are very comfortable. Would definitely come back.
