Fourvière Hôtel

Beautiful property with great views of the city. The room was very comfortable and the size was great with good toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. The food in the restaurant was excellent with a great selection of wines and the service was very good. Onsite parking and also easy access to the Fourviere funicular which takes you downtown to all the shops and restaurants.

Fabulous location for me but be warned it is not for people who want to explore the town but can't manage hills or stairs. The building is wonderful but the rooms are a little 'convent-like.' Very simple and no fridge or kettle but totally adequate other than that. Breakfast is great.

The hotel itself is an absolute gem of architecture with its original features and authentic foyer. The room was a bit awkward but you must undeserved it was once a convent. Only suggestion would be to put maybe night sensor light to the bathroom cos it's so so dark at night that I nearly killed myself trying to walk to it. Bed super comfy. Staff is friendly and in a professional manner. Breakfast is a bit of a let down. The room is to tiny and narrow so guests are bumping into each other while trying to grab the food. Also I totally agree with majority of previous reviews, it's definitely to expensive at 25e /person you would expect more then just a basics. And also please keep in mind its location which we loved but not everyone's cup of tea as its uphill and 20min walk to town.

Overlooking Lyon, in a converted monastery, is the Fourvière Hotel with ample green space, parking and a fabulous lap-pool. Breakfast in the converted cloister was both delicious and plentiful. Our room was up one floor by elevator. Very clean and quiet - we slept like babies. From the hotel, we set forth on lovely walks: to the Roman Amphitheaters below, to the magnificent Basilica, along with squares and overlooks along the way and at every turn. I swam in blissful solitude in the outstanding lap-pool. There are eateries and restaurants for all tastes in the immediate vicinity of the hotel - all within walking distance. The views of Lyon and the mighty Rhône River were a sight to behold. A beautiful hotel and setting - in fact where Lyon (Lugdunum) was founded - see commemorative monument in the photos.

When we arrived at the place we could not believe it. What an incredible sight, place and building. Everything just kept us incredibly glad that we paid to stay there. The lobby is in a church! A church! The most beautiful thing. And the restaurant has the most charming and beautiul view. The rooms were big and comfortable. And the bathrooms were great. The spa was nice (although a bit small) and we enjoyed it a lot. The breakfast is quite expensive, but they have a 'formule express" which is less than half the price and MORE THAN ENOUGH! The whole service was amazing, you can tell they are working towards a fith star. Is honestly staying at a five star hotel for the price of a 4 star. Cannot recommend enough.
