Le Phenix Hotel - Lyon

Excellent value for money, bed room was not that big but bed was very comfortable. Bathroom and shower were ample sized. I would definitely go back.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The perfect location with a wonderful breakfast. Be sure to book an executive double room and ask for one that has been renovated. Parts of the hotel look tired and in need of care...but the location trumps any complaints.

Convenient to old town and city center....walking distance. Woman at check-out was very helpful. Facilities were run down and not well kept though. Bed and bed cover were old and not appealing. Black man at front desk at night was not helpful or courteous, as if he did not care about customers or his work.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed being on the edge of the old town without the noise and traffic. We were also close enough to walk to many other sites around the city.

We stayed where for 3 nights in May, 2012. It was billed as having a balcony and a courtyard--it had neither. Luckily, I asked for a bigger room, and got one--the original room was small and gloomy, and next door to the elevator. The location is good. If you are driving, contact them early and ask them to reserve a parking spot--they only have 6 spots […] nearby, and it is much, much cheaper than an alternative lot, and much closer. They charge 15E a day, the lot we had to park at charged $40E, and it was several blocks away! Bring a washcloth--no such things in France. The woman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. Read more

The place is perfect for a couple get away. The room has so much personality and the location is PERFECT. Romy and confy. We did come back late one evening and were scared because no one was there and we were locked out, but it was just the night staff had gone somewhere for a few minutes, so don't panic but ring the door bell a lot.

Hotel Le Phenix is a well-run hotel. The staff was warm and consistently helpful. Front rooms facing the Saône River could be noisy as there are several nearby late-night clubs and discos. My room (108) faced an ally which also was noisy in spite of the double-pane windows. A room facing the rear seems preferable. The hotel had an attractive, covered […] courtyard which functioned as a restaurant/breakfast room. The room was spotless and very nicely decorated with tasteful wooden furniture and a refrigerator. All furnishings seemed new. The bed wasn’t quite as firm as I preferred, but after sleeping on it for two nights, I did not need spine surgery. The bathroom was well illuminated and outfitted with a hair dryer, small bathtub, nice shower-head, and shower curtain. The bathroom was gleaming – and seemed new. (Not all rooms have shower curtains so one much squat in the bathtub whilst showering – not uncommon in France. When in France….). There was a heated towel rack so towels dried quickly, as well as clothes after washing them in the sink. Hotel Le Phenix was a well-run, attractive hotel that was well situated for tourism (a short walk to the Vieux-Lyon Metro station – easily accessible from the train station). It would benefit from a clock in the room. Read more

Really nice staff that were super helpful. Also, the room was comfortable and very spacious (massive by European standards) and quiet. And the location was convenient for all the major sites! I would definitely return.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Be careful. I was first given a first floor dark small room on an alley. I would rate this room dreadful, not worthy of a 3 star hotel. I then asked if they had any rooms on a higher floor. Since they weren't full and they didn't know whether I was an Expedia spy, they gave me a lovely large room on the 3rd floor, overlooking the Seine.This room was […] a pleasure, with nice chairs to sit in and read if I wanted to. The hotel is very well located on the edge of the old town and next to a bridge into the newer Presque Isle section. There must be 30 to 50 quality restaurants within a 5 - 10 minute walk. From the main railroad station one can take a cab or the C3 Bus to a stop quite close to the hotel. Read more

Stayed for one night, central Lyon location, hotch potch Hotel which gives it character, rooms and fittings all new and pristine. No restaurant - but many local, very reasonably priced, 'home made food' Restaurants nearby.

Breakfast was very good but parking is limited only 6 spots available. Need to reserve your parking when booking your room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had an interesting room with a sitting area on one level and sleeping area upstairs. Narrow stairs from the lift up to the room meant a bit of difficulty with heavy suitcases, but did mean it was private and quiet. Bathroom was ok although most of the floor tiles were loose... very effective heated towel rail. Staff were both pleasant and helpful […] and the hotel is very well located overlooking the Saone River and adjacent to the delightful old town. Read more

Hotel is well situated for Old Lyon. Public transportation within walking distance and use of "Lyon Card" made discovery of city easy. We used hotel parking, made abandoning the car worry free.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A very traditional small European hotel. Lovely and excellent location. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay and easy to see why the Hotel was awarded a Trip Advisor achievement certificate. Excellent staff for whom no request was too much trouble. Adequate breakfast; wifi; clean and comfortable. No hesitation in recommending to other travelers.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was way too small for any comfort at all. The room was advertised as city views and shaving mirror and it had neither. Either Lyon or the hotel is way overpriced. Would not go back to either if that's all there is.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were upgraded so the room we had was much better than we expected. It was spacious with a bathtub with a spa! Location wise it was across the river and walking distance to everywhere. We were there for Bastille Day ceebrations and got a seat across from the BonParte Bridge where we had dinner and watched the fireworks. We walked back to the hotel […] afterwards.staff were friendly and. Helpful. Breakfast was included and was substantial. All in all faultless and suited our purposes Read more

We requested a river view about 4 months out, but were told when we got there that they were full and this was not possible BUT they did upgrade us to a junior suite which for our4 nights was probably better as it was very quiet and we side joy the extra space. Great bathroom! We were very happy there and is a great location to old Lyon and access via […] the C3 trolley bus. Read more

The Phenix Hotel is a great small hotel is a wonderful location in the heart of Lyon's Old Town.It is on the Saone river with a great outlook. It has both bus and train connections practically at its door.The room we had in 104 was into the back but was large and quiet. we were really happy to return to our hotel after sightseeing. You could walk to […] the funicular to go to the Roman ruins and the Bascilica above it. Had great meal at the retaurant iverlooking the city next to The Bascilica at Fouviere. Reception staff were very helpful. It was value for money Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in a brilliant location-- right by the medieval part of the town which is full of restaurants and picturesque lanes, on a bend in the river with an interesting view across; also right between two bridges, so quick to get to the other part of town. Near the C3 trolley-bus terminus, which goes to the railway station through the centre of […] town-- every 6 minutes! Very useful. Up behind the hotel is the Roman town with its marvellously preserved theatres and interesting museum-- and fantastic views over the city and beyond. Also, there is a little boat trip you can do on the River Saone, which starts from the quai just outside the hotel. All in all, it was a superb location for us, and very pleasant and quiet.

A hotel with character and in a good location. Good buffet breakfast. Room a bit small, but comfortable, and a spa bath was a bonus.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel well located near Old Lyon and facing the Saone River. Old charm hotel, however outdated. Updating the decor/carpets would be a major plus. Otherwise, spacious & clean room. However, the jaccuzzi bathtub was defective 2 days in row.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location, great front desk service with a lovely view over the river. The room was quiet, clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed after spending our days eating in Lyon. I highly recommend Le Phenix.

If you're looking for a luxury hotel this is not the place, but if you're looking for a comfortable bed, good shower, great clean quiet basic room within walking distance of all the sights of Vieux Lyon and Pres Q'Ile in downtown Lyon, then this is definitely the place. Friendly staff and very reasonable price for the convenient location. Skip the breakfast […] as you can easily hit a bakery nearby for less money. Highly recommended. Read more

Det var et fint ophold. Der var dog et forhold, som her i marts måned knapt er så sjovt. Det var svært at opvarme værelset første dag - men badeværelset var det svært at opvarme alle dage. Gulvet var mega-koldt, så man måtte flytte bademåtten med rundt med foden.

dommage, c'est la 4eme fois que nous venons dans cet hôtel, et nous constatons que le service petit-déjeuner n'est pas très propre : lait caillé sur le thermos lait chaud , salière vide ou bouchée. Dans la chambre les verres du bar n'étaient pas lavés , la salle de bain pas chauffée alors qu'il faisait -5 degré dehors avec bise et qu'il y avait 1 lot […] de linge pour 2 personnes!!.

Idéalement situé, au pied de Fourvière et à deux pas des Terreaux. Chambre très propre et très confortable, notamment la litterie; le petit plus de la junior suite: sa baignoire à remous. Personnel à l'écoute et arrangeant. Juste un bémol sur le manque de diversité dans le petit dej...mais c'est correct pour un 3 étoiles.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Mysigt hotell med trevlig personal. Perfekt att de hade parkering! Hotellet kanske behöver rustas upp lite men det var inget som störde oss. Rummet med utsikt över floden och staden var rymligt och bekvämt. Barnsängen var bäddad och klar när vi kom. Vår vän hade ingen utsikt men däremot bubbelbadkar. Ett tips är att skriva i bokningen vad ni önskar. […] Våra önskemål hade de tillgodosett. Stadskärnan ligger på andra sidan floden och gamla stan, med stort utbud av restauranger och pubar, bara ett stenkast bort. Det enda jag kan klaga på är frukosten som inte var mycket att hänga i julgranen. Åker vi dit igen går jag hellre till något närliggande café. Toppenstad och bra hotell för pengarna! Read more
