We were thrilled with our four nights at the Sofitel in Lyon. We received a fabulous corner room with beautiful views of the River Rhone. The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the main shopping district and lots of restaurants (including Rue Mercurie where many restaurants and bars are clustered). There are several nearby bike share stations that... More

This hotel is extremely well situatade. Unfortunately it need a total make over, including some of the front desk staff who seem to forget that they are in the hospitality business. The room are rather small, this could have been overlooked if they were clean, the carpet were absolutely disgusting, During my last stay, 6 nights in all, I stayed... More

Stayed 5 nights. Pros: Fairly quiet, with good blackout shade. Great shower--large with good water pressure. Good location--on the river, and just a short walk to good restaurants, shopping, metro. Concierge Patrick and Bellman/Valet Alain (or Alan?) were both fantastic. Very friendly and helpful, as were the other bell staff and doormen. (Without them, we may have rated Sofitel a... More

The hotel was well maintained with professional staff, good amenities, good location, and modern, clean rooms. Everything we wanted. The lobby was pleasant and we enjoyed our stay here very much. We ate dessert at Silk restaurant which was fine.

We had a great 2-night stay in Lyon back in May 2012 and had an overall very good stay at the Sofitel Lyon. I do agree with others that the hotel is feeling a little outdated and needing a little upgrading as you will see with my hotel photos. We did enjoy a quiet room facing the river and were... More

Overall a decent hotel but it is a bit outdated and in need of a proper refurbishment. The beds are fine and this is still the nicest hotel in Lyon in my view. Breakfast is at a good Sofitel standard but service was a bit weak in the breakfast room when we were there. The reception staff and porters were... More

Wonderful hotel in an amazing city, bedroom was surprisingly small but with extremely comfortable beds. Stunning top floor restaurant but what really makes this lovely hotel is the staff, couldn't have done more!

This is a very good option for a weekend stay in Lyon. Close to everything and a very comfortable hotel. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Definitely worth considering, in a city full of options. There are some really good restaurants (which would be one of the main reasons to visit Lyon...) within walking distance of the hotel. So a solid... More
