Hôtel La Résidence Lyon - Lyon

The silency in the room was very poor. We could hear the voices of the neighbours. Also at night the street was very noisy. The airco didnt work.

Hotel staff were pleasant and efficient, although their interactions with us were impersonal and business-like compared to some other hotels we stayed in, but that's not a complaint, just a description. More importantly, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, and quiet - no noise at all from other rooms or from the street. After a month of travelling it was thrilling to find a huge bath in our private bathroom! The area felt safe to walk around in at night, and it was an easy walk to the old part of town. The buffet breakfast was generous, there was more choice than we could eat - hot food, cereal, pastries, fruit and yoghurt were on offer. Overall, great value for money, and we would be happy to stay there again.

Good size of rooms (compared to many French hotels). Very good situation in the center of the town. Overall good value for money.

Double room was small but adequate for a weekend stay. Importantly, it was clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Continental breakfast was good value, fresh and of sufficient quantity, though the bacon and eggs were disappointing - not unusual for a European hotel as no one seems quite able to put together eggs and bacon the way we like them in the UK!!! Location of the hotel was perfect for the old town and within easy walking distance of the railway station. Would definitely stay here again.

double room, first time i stay in Lyon, very nice little hotel , kind staff, very clean little room

Good hotel,somewhat difficult to get to by car. Good directions to nearby discounted parking.Close to everything.

My wife and I stayed at La Residence for 2 nights. The location was excellent. The rooms were exceptionally spacious compared to 2 & 3 star hotels we have stayed at. The bathroom was modern; the wiring and wifi was very good. We would book there again if returning to Lyon.

Staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. Young woman at the desk gave us an excellent restaurant review that served wonderful Lyonaise cuisine. Room was your basic hotel but served its purpose and was most importantly clean!

This hotel is located along lovery Victory Hugo steet and close to Victor Hugo station(metro). Supermarket Carrefour and McDonald closed to the station were convinient for me. A refrigerator in rhe hotel room was useful.

A first rate hotel at a very good price. The staff were great and the only problem I had was with the breakfast. It is entirely personal but I do not like eating with other people near me. The room is small and laid out so people are always moving close to the table. My problem, like I say.

The AC in my room was a little noisy and weak, but otherwise the hotel was very nice. Very pleasant, english-speaking staff.

The hotel is situated in the perfect place for sightseeing and shopping - being right in the middle of a retail walk way in the old part of the city. It is a short walk from tourist areas and sightseeing; as well as underground train stations.

Great location on a pedestrian street and easy walking access to Vieux Lyon.

Hotel situated Ideally only minutes from Bellecour Plaza from where tour buses, metro etc start. Rivers close. Cobbled streets good as only access traffic passes hotel. Situation quiet if keep double glazed windows closed. Can be a little noisy at night if windows open. Very helpful staff although seem to change most days on a rota. We would return to hotel if/when we return to Lyon. This was our first trip to Lyon which impressed us greatly. VJPB. Perth, Western Austrlia

The front desk staff were outstanding. Knowledgeable, accomodating, very pleasant

Very good value, excellent facilities. Given the very cheap fares, I was pleasantly surprised by such a high quality room and bathroom. Highly reccommended, particularly for those wishing to train to/from Lyon Perrache, and those wanting to wander around Vieux Lyon and the entre Isle shopping and nightlife. Very helpful staff at the front desk as well.

in the centre. very confortable. only the rooms are not very quietness.

I was there with family. It's a perfect choice. In the center, close to the parking and public transporatations.

Clean hotel, excellent loacation, friendly Reception staff, overall fairly good value for money. Will stay there again for the location.

We stayed one night at Residence and was very happy with the value for money, loaction and cleanliness of our room. It was close to Bellecour and great access to the sights.

Amazing location -- you can walk to the Old City. Shopping and restaurants are close. And the price is extremely reasonable for a big city hotel. We were there three nights and woudl certainly stay there again when we return to Lyon.

definitely a very costly 3-star hotel but you have to take into account that you are in switzerland where everything costs twice as much... enough space for a single traveller... room quite clean... breakfast sufficient... the big advantage is you are right in front of the railway station... it's not the best part of geneva but if you are travelling for business reasons it's all what you need... definitely not apprperiate for couples or families...

Family room was good and clean

Good Hotel; very good located and the personal were useful; I will return, a hotel to be recomended-

Hotel was in a great spot, right in the heart of the city. Rooms were very spacious, particulary good for a family with young children. Rooms slightly musty but overall excellent value for price

excellent value central location

Excellent hotel to stay at very close to Bellecour Square and to restaurants and on a pedestrian-only street. Friendly service, clean and comfortable room and very good breakfast. Spacious home-like entry area with a free PC to check emails. Other travellers were of various age groups. A downside was the street work going on outside our window from 7 am but that was not the hotel's doing. We would happily stay again.

This is an excellent hotel that I would certainly recommend to others. The only drawback is that our window overlooked a pedestrian street that was quite noisy until about midnight.

I was on a weekend visit My experience at the Hotel Residence was very good; the staff was very friendly and professional and knowledgeable about the area and the attractions. They were very helpful on the restaurants in the area and recommended one of the best restaurants in Lyon.

We stayed in a triple which was spacious, but nothing like the picture on the web page. The location was good -- close to restaurants and shops -- but parking was a bit of an issue. The hotel is on a walking street surrounded by many one-way streets, so finding it and getting checked in with several pieces of luggage wasn't very easy. We got in late, so we ended up driving on the walking street, unloading our luggage, and then driving several blocks away to park the car.

Great location! The hotel is OK but avoid both brasseries in Place Belcourt, namely Espaces and Cafe Belcourt. Particularly, the second one is really bad in terms of menu and quality of food. I had there one of their suggestions on the menu (for 14 euro!) but could not eat anything but the potatoes. There are (many) better places to eat on Rue de la Republique or Old City (e.g. Rue St. Jean or Rue de Boeuf) so avoid these traps...

Woke with bed bug bites. Located on pedestian street with lots of high end shops. Good location to train and metro. Free internet in lobby.

Air conditioning in the room was particularly noisy. Luckily we could open the window to get fresh air and shut down the air conditioner.

Very well positioned in the city, very close to heart of city. We had a nice room with much space (upgrade from double to triple).

Very pleased with location (between Perrache station and Place Bellecoeur); computer available in Lobby; prettiest (best decorated) room of three hotels on this trip; requested twin, got bonus = double plus single; shower tiny but beautifully tiled

Lyons is a very lovely city and we will certainly return - and we shall certainly want to stay again in the Hotel Residence! We can strongly recommend it to all kind of travellers.

The staff was extraordinarily welcoming and helpful.

If you are looking for a good location and you do not plan on spending much time in your room, this is where you want to stay. We walked or took the metro everywhere we wanted to visit. We arrived by plane, so know nothing about the parking situation. We were in the quadruple room for two nights. My kids were thrilled to find bunk beds! We were thrilled that there was a door between the rooms. There was a large spa bathtub (but only hand held shower). Breakfast had a good variety to please the whole family. On the negative side, the beds were very uncomfortable (normal French hotel beds), the pillows paltry and there was running water noise in the walls (just closed the door to shut out noise).

VERY GOOD PLACE! NICE PEOPLE! A WONDERFUL CITY AND SURROUNDINGS! VERY PLEASANT TO STAY TO ANNECY! VERY PLEASANT TO GO TO SKI, LA CLUSAZ IS NOT FAR, AROUND 30 KM.

Good hotel, good location and excellent breakfast,employees are very kind. Parking rates are very expensive and you need to walk at least 3 blocks because they do not have parking area.

Room was very large and clean. We were allowed early check-in, I think about 4 hours early which was very convenient to drop our bags off before touring Lyon.

Well located hotel nearby everything you want to visit in Lyon

This was our first stay aat Hotel Residence. The staff was very helpful in all ways. The facilities were very well located and I would want to stay here in any future visits.

CONVENIENT LOCATION AND FRIEDLY WELLCOMING FROM THE OWNERS .

Très satisfaite de cet hôtel! Mon souhait d'une chambre sur cour a été réalisé. Accueil ,propreté, petit déjeuner très satisfaisants. Seul bémol, bruit de la climatisation un peu fort. Je reviendrai

tres beau

I went with my family , we were a party of 5. The residence was good for the price, very convenient location. Kitchen available, quiet and comfortable.

Right in the middle of the city - beautiful, on a mainly pedestrian street. Parking was a little far away - we prefered the street parking nearby. Our room, right above the street where there was construction, was amazingly quiet. Charming hotel and free internet. Nice breakfast offering, laundry nearby,ironing available downstairs. Definitely metropolitan - beautiful old building, charming city.

This hotel was located in an area walking distance to many places of interest. The bathroom was recently remodeled and very nice and the room was clean. The A/C was set at one level and it was a bit on the warm side, although tolerable. Overall, this hotel is a great value for the price.

Although we were not impressed with the city of Lyon, this hotel was in a great location and very comfortable. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel as it was easy to find nearby.

A great place to stay in Lyon. Good location and good value breakfast for 7Euros. Receptionist was TOTALLY helpful when we had car problems. Couldn't fault the service. Would recommend it to anyone.

staff were excellent and gave great assistance in tracking our luggage which had been lost in flight. Also they made very good recommendations for restaurants which were not on the main guide books. Highly recommended.

Staff was very welcoming. They gave me excellent restaurant recommendations. The location is perfect. Everything is a short walk away. The visitor information center is a block away. It was very warm when I was there, and I needed air conditioning. My initial room had a malfunctioning unit, and they graciously moved me.

Everything was almost perfect, expect the service at the breakfast. One poor lady who had to deal with preparing breakfast and take care of the customer => too much

convenient location in pedestrian area within walking distance of Gare Perrache, good value for money

This hotel is amazing. It's very centrally located, by the metro stop Place Bellcoeur. Despite being in the city it's fairly quiet when the windows are closed. I've stayed here twice because I absolutely adore it. The only negative thing is the elevator is kind of creepy, but really, it's not a big deal. The staff was always extremely nice and helpful. J'aimais cet hôtel. Il était en ordre et le personnel était sympa. Ils m'aidaient beaucoup. Je vous conseille de rester a La Résidence. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de bruit et il est dans un bon endroit près de le Métro Place Bellecoeur

Hotel is in the middle of town, excellent location. Mini bar available for a drink after going out. We went the 1st of May (holiday) so no experience during regular weekends etc. However, location is shopping area so no drunk people expected.

Parfait pour le shopping comme pour la visite de Lyon.

good quality hotel, excellent location, close to old town

nice stay and stuff! good value for rates and location.

Near of Bellecour square, Part vieux, and train station Perrache too, it's clean, quiet and the employees are very friendly.

Good, little clean nice hotel. Exelent for business trip. Very good breakfast (for France). Very close to the main train station in the pedestrian eare of the old town of Lyon. If you are looking for something cosy for a honeymoon trip its probably not my 1st recomendation, but all other will like it.

Our welcome at reception was rather offhand but check out was quick and easy. The room was spacious but rather dingy. The en-suite shower was clean and modern but the separate toilet would have been improved with a hand basin. Breakfast was plentiful and the service was friendly. The city centre location on a pedestrianised street was within easy walking distance of Gare Lyon Perrache, local shops and restaurants and Vielle Lyon. The only downside of the location was that it was a little noisy late at night and early in the morning. Overall a reasonable hotel for the price.

Hotel Residence is very good value for money. Pleasant staff, a spacious and quiet room, good location. I highly recommend this hotel.

Good central location. Easy acess by walking to all the sites. If you have a car the hotel offers a garage 4 blocks away at normal rates.

Very friendly staff, clean rooms and convenient really great deal for the price, would stay there again for sure...was the TajMahal compared to the hotel we stayed at in Paris, for half the price.

no aircondition, a vantilation was provided butnot enough electricity outlets. Breakfast not worth money

It was very good hotel and I'd mark it much higher, but one thing - no one told us that brakfast not included in price...

Parking is terrible. You need to leave the car key at a terrible-looking guy and if you dont leave he calls you idiot. Staff did not excuse at complain. Breakfast is not worth, choose a bar with cofee and croissant.

Stayed for two nights. Arrival was tricky as the streets surrounding the hotel were shut off due to a nearby (annual) Gay & Lesbian Festival. We enjoyed being directly on the pedestrian rue de Victor Hugo -- easy walk to most places. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

Very good!!!!
