Fourvière Hôtel

I found this hotel as it was close to the venue I was working at the next day - and what a find! Incredible building, the staff are so helpful and welcoming! The room was incredible, comfortable bed, lovely views and oh my gosh that outdoor pool - an absolutely perfect way to unwind after a very long travel day! Insane value for money too! I will be back, and for more than 1 night before work this time!

Lovely, interesting hotel, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings with great access to the most interesting part of the city. I missed being able to make myself a cup of tea in the room as there was no kettle. I consider a kettle, ceramic cups, a generous supply of teabags and fresh milk a must, anywhere I travel, especially at this price point. I also like face washers in the bathroom and vegetables on my plate at dinner. Everything else was great.

The hotel is difficult to get to but is very beautiful from the outside and the main hall. The rooms are very large and comfortable but appointed in an anachronistic style to the rest of the hotel. Additionally it was intensely difficult to keep a wifi connection in my room, it worked near the door but as I went deeper into the room (where the bed was) it would drop out. Not the end of the world, but something to consider, especially as there is no mobile reception in the thick walls either. Very well located above Lyon with beautiful views within walking distance. The staff is pleasant enough.
