My sons and I stayed for one night at the hotel Charlemagne so we could experience the city and the food culture it provided. We enjoyed the air conditioning the hotel had to offer in the rooms AAA we happened to hit a warm spell at the time of our visit. The lobby is fine, the elevators smaller than one might expect at a 4 star hotel, but all in all the photos of the facility are fairly accurate. It is a nice place to stay for the money you pay.
Mario, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall ok - hotel and rooms need a bit of updating/ refreshing in my opinion. The first room I was in had several non working plugs. Second room also had some non working ones but was more usable. Staff was very kind and helpful. Location is good and within walking distance of the city centre and close to public transport.

The staff, cleaners, waiters &waitresses were all very relaxed and helpful which to me is a sign of a business well run.

Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff lovely. Location too far from central Lyon for restaurants shopping... A lot of homeless and felt unsafe outside of hotel Hotel did not have a fridge and room very small
Donald and Diana, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Decent location...walkable to all the cool areas on the island. If walking isn't your speed, there's a tram station across the street and a metro station within five minutes or so. Safe area, decent bar/restaurant options immediately close by. The hot spots start after about a 20 minute walk. Hotel itself is nice, clean, and decently renovated inside despite an older looking exterior. Staff is nice, room always cleaned, and the breakfast had lots of options.
Patrick, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very small elevators. To may stairs and as a result not available for invalid guests.
Otto, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were lovely but this is not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are incredibly small, the elevators…you can barely fit two people let alone any luggage. The area is blah with not many places to eat. Overall I would say this is 2.5 stars.
Courtney, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If too big, you won’t fit!

Nice hotel but toilet room excessively small. You have to (proceed) with your knees touching the door. The washroom is the size or smaller than on a plain. Not good at all!!!!
Rhéal, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not quite clean. Room service unavailable. Not enough towels and bed linen for the number of people in the room. 24 hours reception not available, waited outside for a long time buzzing the doorbell until someone was able to call a French number and we were let in. Ok bar. One friendly and helpful staff member, the rest seemed disinterested.

Parfait rien à dire

Parfait rien à dire niveau confort, propreté et petit déjeuner Seul bémol : l’ensemble des serviettes ont été changées alors qu’elles n’étaient pas dans le lavabo donc c’est très bien niveau confort mais dommage pour l’écologie (la pancarte disant que seules les serviettes dans le lavabo seraient changées n’a pas été respectée)
