Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

Overall good place to stay for two nights visit to Lyon. On top of the city with easy access to the old town and nearby attractions. Very convenient two bedroom suite layout nicely furnished for the family of four. The shower is a bit awkward but that is just a comment. A/C was not working well enough so it was rather warm At night and in tbd morning i figured it out as air filter was completely clogged. That is something hotel should pay attention to. Good restaurant with professional and pleasant waiters. The breakfast is quite good and reasonably priced even though we Hen we were checking in we were said that breakfast is included but it came out later that it was not. Indeed it was not shown in the free perks of VIP access for expedia customers but it was strange to be said that it is free and then that it is not. Pool, and spa area: We were with two kids and couples in the pool kind of shocked our kids from going into the pool as they were acting too expressively what is probably normal for French, I do not know but it made us very uncomfortable.

Stunning hotel in the heart of Lyon! We stayed as a family of 3 for just one night and still managed to enjoy the beautiful hotel, the breakfast, and the pool in the morning. The pool is long and narrow but great for both kids and a quick swim. The only downside was a late 10pm check-in. Our room wasn’t ready and the night receptionist struggled to offer us another room that fit 3 people. It took over an hour to resolve, which was tough with 2 tired kids. My advice: contact the hotel before a late arrival to make sure everything is set. Aside from that, it’s a real gem and totally worth stopping by!

Unique

Beautiful hotel located near some amazing Roman sites, the grounds of the hotel are beautiful, great pool and great staff! Highly recommend, proper 5 star experience!

Quiet and clean. Staff in general very helpful.

Very good location, close to the old town

This is a magical place to stay! The staff were so helpful and attentive and insisted on helping us with our many pieces of luggage and bags. The building is amazing - totally majestic lobby. Sit in it and look at everything from the ceiling to the stained glass windows and the painted walls. You know you're in a special place. Room was spacious, clean, comfortable. Bed was great. Bathroom was clean and up to date with a good shower. No shampoo though so bring your own amenities other than body wash. Easy walk to the funicular down into Lyon as there is really nothing up on the hill. One night we dined at the hotel restaurant and it was outstanding. Very gourmet experience. Didn't have breakfast so I can't comment but the room overlooks the courtyard. Pool is above ground lap pool but weather was too cold to go in. Parking is in their large lot so very convenient. Just a beautiful hospitable experience and would definitely stay here again.

Great architecture Very nice staff Courtyard is a feature

Good location for the old town. I thought the parking was expensive on top of the nightly rate. We had breakfast one day which was fine

No help with luggage to room. Not sure I’ve ever encountered this Very expensive breakfast which was ok but substandard for the price Room service never showed up one day ( we had a suite) One good thing was bar brought a bottle of wine to our room (I gave a good tip) Pictures of French men all over the place. Where are the women? Dinner there one night was quite good grounds are fair-poor. For a high priced hotel, this was well below standard we have experienced over many years It’s far from town with a pathetic “funicular “ which is apparently known for pick pockets, into town No ax to grind here from an experienced, but disappointed traveler

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon is a lovely place to stay for those who prefer a unique lodging with history and character to the predictability of an international chain. The building is an old monastery, converted to a modern hotel. It is located on a hill, near a magnificent Basilica and next door to an ancient Roman amphitheater. An easy 40 minute downhill walk to the town, but the return walk may be challenging. Fortunately there is funicular transportation to and fro that makes this a lot simpler. The hotel provides a good buffet breakfast, and an excellent outdoor restaurant that serves lunch and dinner, specializing in local Lyonais cuisine. The swimming pool is long and narrow and was quite crowded as there was a large party present. The staff were friendly and efficient, and there is a well-stocked bar with good local wines. We can warmly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Lyon.

Nicely renovated hotel with great location and on-site parking.

Beautiful property, very well located with many places to visit within walking distance. Parking is very easy. A unique experience because of the converted use of an old building. Really like the sustainability aspect of services as well. Enjoyed sauna and spa too! Will stay there again!

Loved the historic interior of the hotel, the courtyard, common areas and amenities.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Great accommodations.

Rooms very comfortable and spa/pool was very good

Excellent

Beautiful hotel well maintained in a former convent. The design preserves its former charm. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. We were given a tour of the property at check in and a full outline of amenities and options re visiting close by . Breakfast was excellent with considerable choice and the restaurant Le telephones amazing highly recommend. Will definitely be back

Lovely location, wonderful staff

Hermosa propiedad Un gran jardín y personal muy atento. Recomendado
