A short stop over weekend - great location - service as you walked through door and it continued . Excellent standard of room and breakfast was GREAT . Only reason its not 6 / 5 is because that is not possible and because we were locked out of room for last hour of our stay when we requested a 1... More

We stayed a few nights in another hotel in Lyon, and then switched to the Sofitel - and were so glad we did. The service is outstanding - one night between dinner and dessert in the Brasserie, our baby started to scream, so we asked if they could send someone up to our room with the dessert. a few minutes...

My wife and I normally avoid large 'corporate' hotels in favour of family-owned places, but I have to say that we were delighted with the Sofitel Bellecour. Our room was not large, but very well equipped (I particularly liked the easy to operate safe). We ate twice in the Silk Brasserie and were impressed with the quality of the food... More

Due to reconstruction works in the Mercure Carlton, we were tranfered to this hotel. It's location is perfect, but our reception at and room in the Sofitel were a big disappointment. Reception: while checking in staff was very inadequate. Our tranfer, though confirmed twice by mail, turned out not to be arranged at all. It took ages to solve this... More

Rooms are OK but airco is not too well performing. Quality of breakfast is OK, only nr of seats is limited and, very annoying, they use processed egg to prepare kind of scrambled eggs. Well below standard!! But why? More

The hotel is nice: small but charming and confortable rooms (at least on the contemporary floors). However, they are already worn, and the cleanliness is not a strong point: I have found a lady's underwear under the coach ... definitely not what you expect to find at a Sofitel. Breaksat room is very nice, and service over there is very... More

We spent just one night in Lyon as we split our time between Provence and Paris. We were originally booked at another hotel but they transferred us to the Sofitel due to ongoing renovations. From the moment we arrived, we felt the Sofitel was an upgrade. The room was large, comfortable and quiet. The location provided convenient access to the... More

The check in staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. I did a booking on the Internet, which is advisable, as the rate was most definitely cheaper. The hotel is situated on the bank of the Rhone river, not far from the centre of the peninsula between the two rivers. Close by are several restaurants, and a small shop to buy... More
