We expected a comfortable hotel in the heart of Lyon as we had gone by many Rick Steves' recommendations in my travels and they had been accurate. This one was not. First, the hotel is very difficult to find and park around and even though I had emailed the hotel for parking directions, they still didn't let me know just... More

Another Rick Steves recommendation,spot on! Can not be anymore centrally located. Walking distance to all shopping & restaurants. Front desk more than helpful,quick to accommodate us.We had a corner room#11,3 large windows,fireplace in bedroom & huge bath with separate tub & shower. Breakfast was included and very delicious,fresh fruit,meats,cheese,yogurt,cereals,pastries and finally cafe au lait served in separate pots of coffee/milk... More

A typical old building right in the center of Lyon in the area of the city among the two rivers. The framework is stylish, with warm colors for the interiors (red/orange shifted) and some design here and there. Some refresh would be ok for the stairways where paint peels off the walls (not ok for a 4 stars hotel). Rooms... More

My husband stayed here during a business trip. Once again, the entire stay was exceptional. He was impressed that each time dropping off and picking up the room key, the staff remembered him and greeted him by name. As a single this time, the room was smaller than the one we had together. However, it was still neat, clean and... More

A nice hotel with a good location if you want to spurge into luxury shopping. Big brands shopping is walking distance. Old Town is about 10mins walk. It is especially enjoyable during the morning weekends where short walk across the river where you will find weekend markets near the bridge. When we were there on 23/12/2012, there was a open...

Stayed 2 nights in this centrally located hotel recently on a business trip. The welcome at the reception was friendly and efficient enough. But that really was the only highlight in my opinion. The pokey lift was hardly large enough to hold me an my luggage (I admit I had two big suitcases). And my room at the end of... More

Just got back from a weekend in Lyon, the hotel was very comfortable and the staff were so friendly. What I especially liked was that breakfast was between 6am - 10am so no need to get up at the crack of dawn! We were able to visit 3 chateau and sample the Beaujolas in each, well worth doing you do... More

This was one of the high points to our 5 week France vacation. The hotel was centrally located, rooms exceptionally large and updated, with a friendly front desk !! We really enjoyed the corner room, good breeze and view. Bed was one of the most confortable of our trip. Will stay there again.

Just happened to checking TA reviews for the Globe and Cecil for a friend, and decided to write this note to agree 100% with Murry 08's review. Although we stayed at the Globe et Cecil April 2010, unfortunately, I omitted to write a review at that time! We were also booked in by a business associate, we had a lovely... More
