Hotels in 4th arr. La Croix-Rousse, Lyon

Beware if you think that this ranks with other Ibis Styles range hotels. It is a former Kyriad hotel that suffers from lack of investment. On the plus side, the breakfast area is good and the food on offer provides an excellent start to the day. The staff were great. The beds were comfortable. On the minus side the rooms are small and poorly furnished ( no bedside tables, only one chair between 2 of us..) The bathroom was modern but poorly ventilated and tiny. The underground parking was a nightmare. Getting our SUV into the small spaces was a challenge and getting from the car park up to the hotel was via a very dark spiral staircase. I found the experience really stressful and not worth the price we paid. Avoid.

My wife has stayed here several times over the years, me, only couple. Lovely spa area, as usual But…. 1) the showers in the rooms are, and always have been, absolutely poor. No power, impossible to stay in a fixed position and difficult to adjust the temperature 2) the two lifts are small and incredibly slow 3) pre COVID you could go to the bar from the spa in the towelling robes. Apparently, people complained and now it is not allowed. But it is Ok for women exposing lots of flesh albeit in outdoor clothing. We don’t understand the logic We should not have to complain about the first two points about a fairly expensive 4* hotel

Given an upgrade when we arrived and what can I can about the room about the room-wow!! I have stayed in some fantastic hotels and this one rates along with these. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Shame it was only an overnight stay as I would certainly recommend this hotel

Beautiful hotel and rooms. We stayed in an executive room and there was plenty of space to work and enjoy all the views of the 2e neighbourhood. Location was perfect to explore the central part of Lyon. Breakfast buffet was great (fresh fruit, pastries, cereals/granola), not sure about the cooked food because we didn’t try it. beautiful setting. The food with room service was only ok, possibly because compared to the rest of Lyon it wasn’t as incredible, and possibly because the restaurant was undergoing renovations so it was not at full capacity. The spa was small but manageable because we needed to book the time (preventing too many people in there at once). The floors were very slippery and my partner hit his head - I think this needs to be fixed (we were not the only ones slipping everywhere when the floor was wet).

Facilities: Very good. I like its small water bar. It has everything including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and a kettle. I like it. There is a lot of storage space, which is suitable for travelers like us who have a lot of clothes and stuff. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean, but there was no door in the bathroom, which was amazing. It is recommended to install a dry and wet separation glass door. Service: There are free fruits and fruit tea downstairs. The staff are fluent in English (but not many people know English outside the hotel) and communication is smooth. Environment: Very close to the train station and just across the shopping mall. Moreover, this hotel is very high and overlooks Lyon, which is very impressive. And it's very quiet, which I like. Hygiene: No choice, just the quality that Radisson should have. In summary, the money is well spent.

We loved out stay at Hotel Carlton-Lyon. It was a wonderful surprise! We spent 5 days here in a room with a king-size bed. The only downside is the lack of storage for clothes in the room, but we got creative. If you are expecting US-sized rooms you will be disappointed, but for European rooms we were very happy. The bathroom is large with a shower/bath that has great water pressure and temperature. The mattress and pillows are comfy. The air conditioner was great during a very warm week. The hotel is amazingly quiet. I never heard anything! Ride the beautifully renovated elevator. Breakfast is so wonderful- include it in the reservation. They have everything you could want for breakfast from bacon and eggs to meat and cheese, fresh fruit, granola, yogurt and PASTRIES. The staff are all terrific, but get a drink at the bar (an old-fashioned if you like them) and then go again. Shout out to bartender, Claudia, who made our trip so special. Not only did she recommend a great local restaurant for a Saturday night but then called them to squeeze us in for a last minute reservation at Bouchon des Cordeliers. Much appreciated after a more than 24 hour travel day. This location can't be beat. It is walking distance to so many things including Vieux Lyon (~5 min) and the art museum (15 min). It is a less than 5 minute walk to the bus. Take the C5 bus to Parc de Tete or the International City Center convention center. SO easy! You want to shop? This location has everything... Hermes, Louis Vuitton, UNIGLO, North Face... More nearby cafes, brasseries, boulangeries, patisseries and bouchons than you can image. Rent a bike or an electric scooter. Fun, easy, and very convenient. All in all, we loved this place and would definitely come back. I can't speak to the price/value because I was at a convention and got convention rates that seemed very reasonable. Stay here- you won't be disappointed.

I like it. I recommend it. I want to stay again next time. It's very good. It's okay, I'm happy Location is good too It's friendly and clean. I highly recommend it.

15min walk from Lyon Part Dieu. Due to construction works, walking and dragging luggage became challenging and not as direct. There was a huge Westfield Mall where you can shop and dine. 10min walk to car rental office. There was a pickup area for us to load up luggage to our rental car just beside the hotel. Check-in process was a bliss. Staff was friendly. Sanitisers were always available. Room was relatively much smaller than Paris hotel. Barely enough space for 2x large luggage. Nevertheless, room was clean and dust-free. Toilet had decent space. Recommended for as a stopover hotel. Probably a night stay.

I stayed here in August and November and am returning in December. (Visiting my daughter on her erasmus year). On both visits to date I have found the rooms, whilst compact clean.and well maintained. The beds have been very comfortable. The rooms have a decent hairdryer, fab showers, free wifi, tv and tea and coffee facilities, which the staff are only too happy to top up. Breakfast is mainly continental (although there is bacon, sausage and egg available - just not my choice) lovely and fresh selection of meats, cheese, fruit, cereal, breads, juices and hot drinks - self serve. The staff, different on both visits, have always been welcoming and friendly. Location wise - perfect, close to trams and buses and easy to access to main train station. Easy to access all sights of interest. My husband and I look forward to revisiting in early December.. the only downside the price in December (during festival of lights) is nearly treble... but that appears to be a similar trend in other hotels at this time. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

This is a fun property. It's an old building that was a hospital before it was converted. The building is spectacular. It was also very clean. The rooms are quite large - by any standard and especially French standards. The space was also very well utilized. The bathroom was similarly large and well laid out. The location is excellent - near the rivers and lots of tourist areas. It's an expensive area but that's not unexpected. The wifi was good and the A/C worked well. The airport is outside the city so it costs about 50-60€ each way. The property was very quiet. They did a nice job insulating the windows to block traffic noise. Bottom line, I would absolutely return.
