My partner and I spent five nights in this hotel over Easter. Sadly we were ill for the whole period of our holiday; however the hotel staff were very nice and helpful when we wanted to spend longer than expected in the room. The location is superb, a stone's throw from Place Bellecour which is a good starting point for... More

The small courtyard room was quite adequate, even with our two oversized suitcases. A ground floor elevator eliminated worries of transporting same. No-parking spot right in front policed by hotel staff, making for easy offload of luggage. Beds were extremely comfortable. I would return here without hesitation.

A beautiful hotel with a wonderful friendly staff! Perfect location situated across from the theater in the old town. The best rooms I have stayed in for the price anywhere! The standard rooms are great and the suits are worth the extra splurge. Perfect breakfast consisting of brioche and soft boiled eggs that you can cook to your own liking,... More

We booked this hotel specifically because of the proximity to the events taking place during the Fete de Lumiere this past December. We chose well. As it turned out the hotel was just down the street from one of the major venues. Imagine opening your hotel window and leaning out to view a spectacle of light and color on the... More

We booked this hotel based on recommendations from TripAdvisor - we couldn't have found a better place to stay. The staff goes out of its way to answer questions, make recommendations, give directions (even down to the bus #) - they just couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Every restaurant they recommended was a winner. The breakfast was a... More

This hotel is good for couples, singles and families. There are suites that are quite spacious as well as regular rooms. There's a small elevator for those not able to do stairs. The area is full of great shopping and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again .

Hotel des Celestins is located near Theatre Celestins, between the Rhone and the Soane Rivers. It is within walking distance of Vieux Lyon, across a pedestrian bridge over the Soane. The closest Metro stop was Bellcours, a large Place with a TI office. The hotel staff was very helpful and engaging and mostly spoke English well. My daughter speaks French,... More
