Lobby was under construction when I arrived, nevertheless, the room that I stayed the night made up for it. This hotel has a restaurant on the top floor overlooking one-third of Lyon; the view is breathtaking. Unfortunately, it was gloomy that Sunday morning. But, consider having dinner there… I bet it will be fantastic. What I love about Sofitel is... more

We were thoroughly impressed by, and pampered in, this hotel which is located on the River in a nice section of Lyon called Bellecour. The rooms were beautifully appointed, and at 210 euros, the Superior Room was good value by European standards (and especially compared to Paris). Additionally, the staff was outstanding. Sebastian at the front desk helped to organize... more

3 nights stay, very comfortable, superb feather beds and excellent sound insulation. Central location within a walk away from restaurants and shopping. DIdn't try breakfast at 26 euros which I find hard to swallow. 26E for a coffee and a croissant.!The staff were very pleasant and prompt service when we had a problem with the in room safe. Strange design... more

This hotel is located in the heart of Lyon and is very difficult to find. The streets are all one way and if you miss the hotel, you must circle around the block through traffic that is busy at all hours of the daytime. Avoiding pedestrians and taxi’s that drive somewhat chaotically is a challenge. Once you arrive, the hotel... more

The beds are very good indeed, spacious and comfortable.They are known as mybeds and you can buy the... more

This hotel was very nice, with the nicest bathroom ever--huge teakwood shower stall with a bench and both handheld and overhead showerheads and natural light through a window into the bedroom. The decor was modern and chic. The bed was topped with a featherbed; if you're not used to them, it's not that comfortable (I prefer a firmer surface). The... more

You can't be too picky with a 4-star hotel. It just has to be good, and this stay at the Sofitel Lyon was just that. No negatives. The location, on the banks of the Rhone and about 2 minutes' walk from the Place Bellecour can't be beaten. The room is a typical Sofitel room, very comfortable bed... cloud-beds we call... more

We were very impressed with the atitude of the staff and the overall standard of the hotel. This is obviously very much a business hotel but as we were staying during the weekend we were offered a very reasonable upgrade. We dined in the Three Domes restaurant which was a wonderful experience both for the food and the views from... more
