Hotel des Artistes is in a central location, but overlooks a relatively quiet plaza in front of the Theatre des Celestins. Our room was a reasonable size for a French urban hotel, but there was a lack of drawers and other storage space. The room was clean and had been modernized fairly recently. The only street noise came from children... more

the hotel is well located (it faces a lovely theatre and a charming square, in a pleasant area). The rooms are pretty and the aircon functions properly. Double glazed windows. It's not impeccably clean (some dust in the bedroom, the curtains had not been washed for some time; however the bathroom was spic-and-span with a big shower). Now comes the... more

We stayed there from May 7th til the 14th, paid about $1,178 dollars (including all taxes) for what I am sure was the best room in the place. Top floor in the corner towards the river. And that includes two hot pots of coffee and hot milk every morning in our room, and room service was never late. Room was... more

We stayed here for 2 nights and we booked the "Privileged" room, so it was slightly larger. It was still a small room but we could navigate okay with 2 nights worth of luggage. The bathroom still had the traditional tub with the hose attachment, so for us "shower" folks, that was a bit of an adjustment. And yes, the... more

The hotel is indeed at a nice location near River with fanastic back side view (only when you get out of hotel and never from your room). As always in France, the rooms are very small. I was occupying a double bed room and was single person occupying the room. Still I kept on hitting my elbow and knee with... more

Staff, service and location was fine. Small room, but lovely light. Lumpy old bed, limited breakfast but not bad for France. Good value. Strange idosyncrasy here of taking your key when you leave as the room keys have tassels on them which declare your room and the hotel name. But this is fine as staff buzz you into the lobby... more

We were only in Lyon for the last night of our stay in France and were glad we had booked at this hotel. It was so central to everything. We had dropped off our luggage at the hotel and took our rental car back to Avis at Part Dieu train station. We walked back from there. It was about a... more

The Hotel is centrally located just on the opposite side of the river to the old city. It located in the heart of the shopping district. The rooms are rather small but clean and quiet. We took the subway from the TGV station and would probably take a taxi next time. We were fortunate to arrive on the opening day... more

Hotel des Artistes in Lyon, close to Bellecour station is in a safe and relatively quiet city-centre spot. Close to the old town and the river, it's surrounded by nice shops and some lovely restaurants just a 5 minute stroll from the hotel. Rather than going for the hotel breakfast, nip round the corner, behind the theatre, to a little... more
