The location and breakfast are probably the only things worth highlighting as everything else was rather disappointing but not disastrous. Le Royal is near some excellent restaurants (well there are many excellent restaurants in Lyon anyway) and the hotel breakfast is legendary..even the dining room itself is worth a visit! It's an easy stroll to the shops and the old... more

This is what a 4 star hotel should be like. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are nicely decorated with lovely bathrooms. The location is perfect - right in the middle of everything and surrounded by cafes and restaurants Their restaurant suggestions were great. I left my diamond earrings behind and they were very quick to have them safely... more

Located in the heart of Lyon, this hotel is fantastically positioned to act as a base to explore the city. The room was well appointed and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We were a little disappointed to find no hot drink facilities in the room. I would also have liked the iron and ironing board to be in the room... more

Le Royal is 50 meters from the subway stop and the bus stop is located at the lobby door. It is located in near the central square with walking distance to excellent restaurants , shopping., and nightlife. I stayed in a suite facing the square and it was very large. The lounge and breakfast cafe were very quaint. The breakfast... more

I had read all the reviews and wish I had chosen another hotel now! The good points were that my room (106) was sweet and charming if on the small side, the bed was deliciously comfortable and the room was quiet - plus I liked the balcony. But, I was a single female traveller arriving quite late with work to... more

Wanted a hotel that was a bit different from the normal chains and we definitely found that here. The decor of the public rooms and bedrooms was lovely, even down to the framed silk prints on the corridor walls and the silver fobs on the door key. Staff we dealt with were hepful and welcoming and our room was beautiful... more

Excellent location, clean, quiet, and a fantastic conceriege named Habib. He was super helpful. He took lots of time with us and gave us excellent choices on dining, currency exchange and more. Extremely nice and helpful man. The breakfast was an experience. Everyone needs to do it. It's so France. The food was fantastic, the service incredible, and the ambience... more

I don't know what it was about this hotel but I loved it. It sits right on a corner of a central square in Lyon. Its very clean, rooms are great but there's something else. Its details maybe. I notice little things - mostly because they annoy me. For example the light switch near the bed is too far away... more
