After reading great reviews about the hotel, it was apparently a clear choice in Lyon. What becomes obvious, however, is that service and hotel need improvement (maybe that is because of its status as a “hotellerie” institute rather than an actual hotel?). Centrally located, but that comes at a price. Upon arrival we had no idea on where to leave... more

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in January for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We had a Superior Royale room with breakfast included. The location couldn't have been better in that it is located in the main square of Place Bellecour. It is very close to the main shopping areas, with many fine restaurants nearby. The hotel is easily... more

My husband and I stayed here on a recent trip to Lyon. We were familiar with the area, but didn't realize how convenient the hotel was to the metro, Place Bellecour, and other areas of interest. Staff was hepful and very patient with us since we didn't speak French. Part of Institut Paul Bocuse and the high standards of the... more

A truly astonishing surprise! Delightful old classic property right on the main square. lovingly maintained. Great location - metro station just across the street. Large room, with balcony overlooking the square, terrific beds and large, modern bath. Staff attentive and professional - concierge's recommendations on restaurants were terrific. LOVED our stay! more

Overall Impressions and Staff: Delightful hotel and staff. Polite, helpful, charming, English fluent. We loved the staff here and they were so sweet to our dog who was traveling with us. Summary: Loved this place and would stay there again should we happen to visit Lyon again. Location: Brilliant. In the heart of the town and just one transfer on... more

Great location, great service and great decoration. One incident during our stay.. fire alarm was triggered during the night - everybody went down to the lobby and power was out for around 3 hours that night. It would be better if hotel staffs gathered all non-French speaking guest and keep them informed.. it happened that most communications were in French... more

In Lyon for a friend's wedding, we found the Royal a lovely launching pad for seeing the city. It's close to the main shopping drag and the old city. The bed are hard to wake up from, there are chocolates by the helpful front desk, and the two bathrooms in our small suite definitely enhanced the romance of the occasion.... more
