My husband and I stayed at Globe et Cecil for two nights. I was not impressed with the hotel although the location is excellent. We were first placed in a room facing the street. There was no ventilation except to open the window. We requested a move to the back and the person at the desk was somewhat defensive, saying... more

The staff may be nice, but watch out for the management. When you give your credit card details to confirm your reservation, they immediately help themselves to a 'deposit.' Deposits are rarely required by European hotels, but get this - the Globe et Cecil takes not 10%, not 20%, but ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the room price. Some deposit! If... more

A very nice hotel in a very convenient location. Staff extremely courteous and helpful. Our rooms faced the street but the noise was not a problem at night (even though it can get pretty noisy during the day). Of course it is a relatively expensive hotel (we contacted the hotel directly and paid 130 euros for a single and 160... more

It all started so well. We decided to spend NY Eve in Lyon, phoned the hotel directly and booked a room. Hotel very easy to find, and public parking in abundance nearby. Checked in, went to the room (in a very rickety lift it has to be said) and the first thing that struck me was the HEAT. The corridors... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Globe et Cecil for 3 nights in February 2006. I chose this hotel as it was recommended in an article about mini breaks in France in Eve magazine (UK womens magazine). The cost was 145 Euros per night inclusive of breakfast. The location was excellent - less than a minute's walk to the... more

This was a great hotel for the money. It's right by the main square (Place Bellacour), all the shopping streets, restaurants, etc. Front desk was very helpful, providing maps and info about restaurants. The staff in charge of room service has limited english so what arrives can be a surprise. Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a... more

Spent one night in this very friendly hotel in Lyon. The location was excellent, right next to public transport, and easy walking to old town. The front desk was very helpful. They even made our vets apointment for our dog. The room was small but clean and brightly decorated with a small sprig of fresh flowers. Unlike many other hotels... more

Delightful location on the Presqu'ile, close to subway with great walking all around you. Good air-conditioning, fine staff. Included continental breakfast is good, but don't expect much more than what a continental breakfast typically includes. Be careful, however: I booked a triple room and was given a double room for myself/wife and a single room for my 14 year old... more

Like other reviewers,i found the reception staff were very friendly and helpful.The public rooms... more
