Hôtel Elysée

Meine Tochter und ich waren für 4 Tage in Lyon. Das Wetter war perfekt und die Lage des Hotels auch. Nur wenige Schritte vom Pl.Bellecour - aber auch vom Hotel de Ville und Oper. Wir hatten 1 Zimmer mit 2 Einzelbetten bestellt, die Fenster gingen in einen ganz ruhigen Innenhof-wir haben geschlafen wie die Götter! Lyon ist eine wunderbare Stadt mit wirklich franz. Flair. Wir nahmen kein Frühstück, um genug Platz für die franz. Köstlichkeiten zu haben!

Einfaches aber sauberes 2 Sterne Hotel. Preis/Leistung stimmt absolut.

Lift erst ab der 1. und nur bis zur 5. Etage. "Attic"-Zimmer in der 6. Etage: winzig und und mit Dachschräge, dafür preiswert.

Right in the centre of town, easy walking distance to shops and Fourvier. Staff very pleasant & helpful. All very clean, though room a bit on smallish side but totally adequate

Positives: Location Excellent. Bed quality excellent. Friendliness of management excellent. Cleanliness excellent. The price I paid for my room (January) I would describe as "on a low budget" - so I did not expect perfection from the hotel. I stayed on the top floor (floor 6) - which comprises single rooms .Likely the quietest floor (except when people on mobile phones!) - but stairs involved. Choose room w window not skylight if you can afford - fresh air then available if wanted. Could be better: Pillows too small and the dooner/quilt not long enough for my liking. Breakfast: Consists of pastries and yoghurt only - tasty but expensive. Espresso coffee ordered was more like strongish American coffee - not favoured by Australians used to strong coffee. Rooms are NOT soundproofed to the corridor or adjoining bedrooms - you can hear conversations and movements of other guests when they are in their room and especially in the corridor. The bathroom in my room adjoined another bathroom- I could hear everything, my bathroom door could not close to reduce sound. Also loud generator goes on for 1 hour 2 x day - 11 am & 5 pm. Bathroom amenities are limited to a tiny piece of soap and satchel of shampoo/body wash (but it is replaced daily). Old fashioned hair dryer attached to the wall. Shower stall is small - and I'm slim and constantly bumped the walls while washing - however a lot of older hotels are like this. No kettle, fridge, cup, bottled water.
