Hôtel Bayard Bellecour

Very charming hotel with large bedrooms in a traditional building. Location is brilliant, right in the centre of Lyon, with superb public transport links close at hand. Breakfast was delicious, and a bit different the standard french breakfast of croissants. Staff were really helpful and pleasant, and lovely to find a kettle in the bedroom. A great find

Staying at this special hotel requires one to just let go and allow oneself to escape to a bygone era. A real period gem, this lovely hotel does its utmost to replicate the France of the past. Whilst some might not find the rooms as practical, if you want somewhere to stay that has flair yet is still very comfortable, this is the place. Special thanks to Stefania and Pierre who both work very hard to make this place a special stay for the guests. The breakfast room was gorgeous, loads of charm and a nice way to start the day. Location is perfect - an easy walk to all the main sights in lovely Lyon. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Bayard. The location is fantastic, the staff were attentive, and the facility is beautiful, with spacious accommodations and carefully curated vintage decor throughout. By far, one of the most uniquely decorated and furnished hotels I have stayed. Breakfast was wonderful as well. My only complaint is on the cleanliness of the room. It was apparent that the floors had not been cleaned in some time; a simple vacuum and mop would have done the trick. Otherwise, a pleasant stay and would recommend.
