The hotel is indeed royal. The building is elegant and vintage. The rooms are huge. We loved the breakfast room and the breakfast included everything you might ask for. The staff are polite and very helpful. We loved our room except that I really wished for a room with a nice view over the square and I was even willing... More

What I can say-it's the Royal one. Located centrally with balconies on the 5th floor with amazing view on the field&river (mine was like that). Sweet notes from the hotel staff about the weather and chance of rain daily. AMAZING breakfasts - I would highly recommend desserts and variety of cheeses. One problem I had there-the keys.They are not that... More

The Royal can be highly recommended in its class and price range. Both the public and the private rooms are elegantly decorated in very French taste. While the bedrooms are small, they are very comfortable and well designed. The beds are good, with feather underlays and decent pillows. The amenities in our bathroom were topnotch Fragonnard shampoos and gels. There... More

This hotel is one of the best in Lyon. Located on what may be the finest public square in France, certainly one of the largest, its public rooms are exquisitely decorated with locally produced fabrics, including silks and even a Guignol puppet.It is a great pleasure simply to sit in one of the lounges. The hotel assists in training recruits... More

A lovely boutique hotel in a great location which has managed to combine elegance and good service with the feeling that you are a guest in someone's private house. The deluxe room was well decorated with a good size bathroom and a large, very comfortable bed. There is no bar as such but an atmospheric lounge area with waiter service.... More

We only stayed at the Hotel Le Royal Lyon for one night. In truth, it was just supposed to be a reasonably-priced place to stay for our last night before flying home. Turns out we loved it. Le Royal Lyon is located in the heart of the old city on the Place Bellecour. On the hills above the square is... More

We had a nice deluxe room which was well appointed with a large bathroom. The décor was pleasant and all-in-all would have been very good. There was daily complimentary water (still and sparkling). The breakfast was good with a wide choice of items and delicious fruit. Although it is marked as a 5* hotel I would, though, not give it... More

First, the positive points. Good location. Nice looking room, nice bath and comfortable beds. Now, the negative. When we arrived at the hotel, we were provided with a room with a nice view of the square (room 504), but it had a horrible smell. We informed the front desk that the room smelled bad, and they did not at all... More
