10/10 Excellent

Very pleasant mid range hotel, absolutely ideal for a reasonably priced hotel slightly away from the centre but well connected by foot, tram and metro.

8/10 Good

My sons and I stayed for one night at the hotel Charlemagne so we could experience the city and the food culture it provided. We enjoyed the air conditioning the hotel had to offer in the rooms AAA we happened to hit a warm spell at the time of our visit. The lobby is fine, the elevators smaller than one might expect at a 4 star hotel, but all in all the photos of the facility are fairly accurate. It is a nice place to stay for the money you pay.
Mario, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall ok - hotel and rooms need a bit of updating/ refreshing in my opinion. The first room I was in had several non working plugs. Second room also had some non working ones but was more usable. Staff was very kind and helpful. Location is good and within walking distance of the city centre and close to public transport.

Good for a couple of nights; friendly staff; near Gare de Perrache and a 10mn walk from Old Lyon. A bit pricey though.

10/10 Excellent

Great Hotel in splendid Lyon

The Hotel was fabulous, clean and easy to reach. We loved our room with a great view, a hot bath and a strong WIFI signal. And what made the hotel even more special was the ladies at the reception: warm, kind, welcoming and helpful. Thanks Hotel Charlemagne by Happy Culture for a great stay in splendid Lyon.
Ilka, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel rooms are run down and breakfast is like at faulty towers. On the bright staff all the staff are very friendly and accommodating.

10/10 Excellent

This property is located right near a train and bus station with easy access to Vieux Lyon (old Lyon), there is a lot of restaurants and shops around the hotel as well. The hotel breakfast was also excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Lyon.

8/10 Good

Well located hotel right next to Perrache train station so very convenient. There is a great bakery across the street for breakfast if you do not want the hotel buffet.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A good spot in Lyon

While a little "worn around the edges", this hotel is very pleasant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Bed comfort is very good. We discovered a good bistro down the road - the midi-minuit - which actually closes at 10:30 (bizarre given the name). Looked at Georges bistro but was overcrowded and too noisy. If you arrive late, parking is free in the street.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved it

Great value, high quality for the price. We really enjoyed our stay. Excellent breakfast buffet & customer service, great intelligent multi lingual staff. Great business center laptop.
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was very complete, with everything you could want to eat. There were lots of common spaces in the building with different functions, that gave a resort feel to the hotel.
Susan, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My wife and I went for 2 nights and had an excellent experience. The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable bed. It was minutes away from the train station Lyon Perrache, 10 min from the confluence and 40min walk to Old Lyon. Would definitely recommend.
Justin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The front desk staff was helpful in making copies, requesting taxis, & providing info.
