Basic 2 star hotel in great location near the Place des Celestins in Lyon. Very convenient to sites and restaurants. Nice basic room; but one major safety problem discovered after a day there. I left the room one afternoon while my other half was sleeping and locked the door and left the key at the hotel desk. I was pretty... more

My partner and I spent 3 great days in Lyon and found the Hotel des Celestins to be a perfect base to explore the city. The hotel is clean, comfortable, centrally located, and above all, staffed by the friendliest group of people around. We had a pleasant breakfast each morning and a great view of the Theatre from our window.... more

We stayed here two nights in late September 2009. The hotel was easy to locate driving into the city from the south, and convenient public parking was just a block away. Close to many restaurants' and the staff recommended several which were very good. We enjoyed our stay in Lyon and would highly recommend this hotel. more

We stayed at Hotel Celestins in early October. We arrived late and were greeted by a very friendly receptionist; given the room key within moments and found our room to be spacious and comfortable (Attic room for 125 euros). Lift is quaint if a little cramped (happens when updating old building), reception and breakfast room are positioned on the 2nd... more

The hotel is centrally located with all the major sites within easy walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful in navigating the city and with restaurant recommendations. While the rooms are... more

Located on Presqu'ile, it's within easy strolling distance of the Old City, the metro, and many fine restaurants. Our room, called the "bouillotte," was at the top (6th etage) of the building; it was large with beamed ceiling, and... more

Easy to find after long air/rail trip (exit bellecour metro station). Interesting little "hey we're up here on the 3rd floor" kinda place. Was received by friendly reception staff. Got our "keys" (one to open front door, which locks after 10p, the other to open room door) and headed up to our room. Since we haden't spent time in too... more

The staff was very helpful and steered me to some excellent restaurants in Lyon, and the breakfast was very reasonable at 8.5 euro. As is common for small hotels in France, the elevator and stairwell were pretty narrow (could... more
