    A quirky and warm slice of history in the heart of Lyon

    Old buildings will have their challenges, so I guess the spiral style staircase, would make the hotel not an ideal choice to anyone with mobility issues , or bad knees etc .

    Le Boulevardier, is a lovely quirky hotel , in a fantastic city centre location. The room was lovely, it was very quiet, and the breakfast in the morning was nice and served with a smile. It is nice sometimes to stay somewhere with a bit of local personality and history, rather than a major global hotel group , with a big lobby and lifts !

    A bit expensive, but England were playing in the Rugby World Cup. In the town on that day, so not surprising.

    Great location, helpful staff.

    Everything was fine. I think if one had mobility issues, the stairs could be an issue

    Excellent location. Fantastic decor. The room and bathroom was clean and ideal for a short city centre stay. Cedric, the Patron was charming and so helpful, as were other staff. I'm trying to find a reason to return.

    It was slightly overpriced for the services included, however the location is indeed awesome.

    The location of the hotel is amazing. It is 5-minutes far away from the city hall. Breakfast was pretty good, with one croissant, tea or coffe, and a buffet for jam, fruits, and breads. The room was spacious, with one small toilet cabinet and one bathroom with shower and sink. I had double bed and a small table. WI-FI was good.

    Size of the rooms. Hallway and building smelt inside. Checkin was a bit soul less

    We liked the location. rooms were small but clean. We didnt meet any staff as a self check in. Perfect location. Not somewhere for a romantic night just a night out and sleep.

    Shower was broken and didn’t drain away when using. Was an odd place with random toys on the walls and in corridors. Price was no doubt increased for Rugby World Cup time.

    Location was good and staff very friendly. Bed was comfortable.

    The reception/cafe area was not very warm and breakfast had to be pre-booked, as it was collected each morning from the local bakery. The stairs are very steep! The wifi on 2nd floor was not always available.

    The decor in the hotel was quirky and the retention of the old medieval features was lovely. The bathroom was well lit and the room had interesting decorations. Communication with the hotel was excellent and the staff were very helpful arranging a taxi to the airport when we were hit with a general strike. It is centrally located and close to wonderful bars and restaurants.
