La Tour Rose, which has only 12 rooms, is in the heart of the oldest section of Lyon--close to tourist restaurants and shops and the pedestrian bridge across the river. The desk staff was exceptionally helpful. The bar seating outside was very nice. We had a room that was as large as some one-bedroom apartments with a separate sitting room and kitchenette and a large bathroom. The room was the full width of the building with large windows that opened at the front of the building on to the street and in the back on to a charming restaurant. The decor would be charmingly old-fashioned and faded if the price were not so expensive. At the current price, La Tour Rose offers lots of charm but not good value. For less money, the Hotel Royal on Bellecour Square offers far more luxury for the price.
