Vieille Ville & Lakefront 2024 Holidays

Lovely hotel in an excellent location.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Carlton Lyon. The staff are wonderful: friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in the heart of the city. Two metro stops and the central tram transit point at Bellecour are all within an easy walking distance. My room was wonderful. And there are a lot of dining options around. Given that the hotel does not offer a la carte breakfast, I highly recommend Cafe Joyeaux Lyon, a five min walk away, which has the best croissants in Lyon and excellent coffee as well.

Liked the property generally. The staff was very nice, made good recommendations. The air conditioning was not working well, which made it uncomfortable in the room. Also, there were a minimum of electrical outlets, which made it somewhat difficult to keep things charged. Finally, The shower design was poor.

The hotel staff were very friendly and were kind enough to speak to us in English. They even offered us options for a bath or a shower and view of the city. If you ever consider paying extra for the breakfast- do it. We were recommended the hotel for it's comfort and breakfast and it was worth it. Do try the egg station they are so so good. The staff were ever so friendly and extremely helpful. The bed was huge and comfortable and you can even check out leave your luggage safely at the hotel while you explore the city and come back and collect it. If we ever do travel to Lyon again we will definitely be staying there again.
