We came without kids and hoped the hotel would be as pretty as it looks on the internet. It's not bad, it is just not what we expected for a 4 star hotel. First important thing to know is that only some of the rooms have been renovated. We booked a junior suite and were extremely disappointed. Big but really... more

We stopped over at this hotel on our way to Spain and also return its a good stop halfway to break the journey. If you enjoy a swim wll!! this is a must !! it has an amazing massive swiming pool and a very nice spar. From the outside first impressions not good ! looks a bit like a nasty... more

We stayed at the Lyon Metropol in mid-May, 2008. We were at the tail end of a road trip through Switzerland, Italy and France. At first glance, the hotel was about what we had expected. The first thing we did after arriving was change into swimwear and go down to the spa and pool area. This was really nice, although... more

The hotel boasts of its "soundproofed rooms" - but this did little to drown out the tortuous drilling, banging and alarms going off from 0930 in the morning. Admittedly, this is not VERY early but the point of a spa is to be able to relax, have a swim, take your time. What was more infuriating however was the attitude... more

I loved this hotel. It was quite hard to find by car the first time, and it is not in the heart of the city, but, who cares! Hotel is by the Saone river, with a nice view of it from my room. Room was large and well equiped, with a bathrobe very useful in the magnificient outdoors spa. Hotelis... more

The pictures on the website looked really well and it gave the hotel a nice feel. When getting there, it was disappointing as the rooms, which have been done up in the last couple of years, look old fashionned and the air conditionning, which is central, made the rooms pretty cold. The staff at reception were nice as well as... more

Stayed here for 1 night at the end of a 3 day business trip through Europe. Based on pictures had expected a bit more than what I got. Room nice and big, but quite seventies themed... Although the carpet, bedlinnen etc has been modernised, rooms and especially bathrooms have a strong 70s feel. Was disappointed with the fact that my... more

Stayed over Christmas 2005. We must have had the smallest room in the hotel, very tiny, double bed, small desk, tv cabinet and room was VERY full. Was this because we booked through Expedia? Not sure but as the hotel was almost empty we could have been given a better room. Outdoor pool was closed as you would expect in... more

We stayed here for a week and a half in June 2005. The outdoor pool is indeed excellent, as is the exercise equipment, saunas, etc. However, 2 things ruined it. First, we ordered room service, the pasta of the day, and were brought nothing but noodles with butter, salt, and pepper. It cost 20 euros, or more than 23 dollars.... more
