The location is very central and the hotel itself was beautiful. I wish I could rate this hotel more highly however I have to say do not book this hotel any time near a major sporting event as we stayed the night of the World Cup final game and after Spain won people went around the plaza (directly under our window) in cars and motorcycles all night celebrating by honking, playing music and revving engines until 2:30am nonstop and then once in a while until later. I understand this is outside the control but the staff did not have any ear plugs or any options to accommodate this issue so we were not able to sleep until 3am and did not enjoy our stay.

Loved this hotel room was really funky. The only thing I didn’t like was the open shower because everywhere gets soaked

Although older property, the French rustic style was delightful and well-maintained. Well situated in the city and ready to navigate for sightseeing. The air conditioning in the room was struggling due to the heat wave. But completely understandable and expected considering the extreme heat. I recommend this property and would revisit when traveling in Lyon again.

Great location. Superb breakfast. Lovely atmosphere. Great service.

Beautiful room and unique one

Clean spacious room overlooking the main square was enchanting. Every staff member was welcoming and helpful answering our questions. The breakfast included numerous choices and was in a quaint setting full of historical items, pictures and knick-knacks. The location was very good. Highly recommend.

The hotel is in an old building which for us was fine. The staff was very helpful.

There is no elevator until the reception located in first floor. Moreover, my room did not have a TV and I had to insist heavily the 2nd day for switching room as the reception staff was not willing initially to allow me to switch room. The room were not designed for modern hotel rooms such as a toilet at the entrance or no closet. Lighting was poor. The only positive is the location, however other hotels are nearby with same location and much better amenities.

Lovely hotel, friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was fantastic. Ideal quiet location.

Great, although pricey, breakfast. Excellent location. Quirky hotel with lots of antiques and memorabilia. Friendly and helpful staff.

What a special hotel!! A friend and I decided to do two nights in Lyon during a Paris stay and we are so glad we did! Bayard is in the perfect location, making it easy to walk everywhere and only a quick 25min drive from Lyon Part Dieux train station. Breakfast is an absolute must, so convenient and delicious! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The interior of the hotel will transport you back in time - everything was so great!

Location!

Friendly staff. Great location. But important, one of the most beautiful places I have ever stepped into.

very atmospheric, clean, and very very helpful staff

Very good hotel in a central area, quiet room and very nice staff!

Made our trip to Lyon. Perfect hotel.

Staff was courteous and it was in an ideal location. The room was clean and quiet.

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff! The room was very comfortable and the decoration/ambiance of the hotel unique… do not miss this hotel if you go to Lyon!

Wonderful hotel we just loved it! The nicest breakfast room I have ever seen. The staff were very helpful with all of our needs. We be happy to stay again when visiting the beautiful city of Lyon.

No ac so had to keep windows open but it is a very busy noisy street so difficult to sleep easily if room is on the Main Street. Perhaps a fan ? We loved the Time Machine quality of the room which was unique and fun and yet still fully comfortable and clean. We were a bit skeptical given the nature of the Entrance -but it is lovely once you enter and understand the unesco heritage.
