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.

The reception staff are efficient though there could be some flexibility with check/in as the hotel was far from full but we had to wait for 2 hours until the designated check in time. Not very customer service oriented.

the property is very nice, except the rooms are very plain. the food at the restaurant it is really good. the sauna room works very well.

the breakfast food could be better, especially the fried eggs and omelettes. the chairs are hard to move. there was no exercise room. the location is a bit isolated from the city center. we arrived late morning from an oversea flight, the room was not ready, even tough i stated I'll be arriving around 11:am. we left the property and came back and waited in the lobby (next to reception desk) for over an hour before check in time the 3:00PM check in time, to our surprise when asked for status they told us the room was ready. communication could have been better.

The hotel and its location was brilliant. It was beautiful and peaceful but so easy to get into Lyon on the funicular. Also on the doorstop of the basilica and the roman amphitheatre. It also had a pool, spa and we had a massage. The food was very special. Lyon is a great city with too much to do in 4 days.

Next time I would take up the offer of a kettle and ask for milk. The nespresso was too strong for me. My Mum would have liked more information in the room, such as how to work the nespresso ! oh and that the pool was open. We assumed not but it appears you had to ask for the cover to be taken off.

The property was very well thought out. As a former seminary things felt like a school .. even the pencils rather than pens in the room and the CHAT! signs instead of do not disturb for the doors. Rooms were huge. I hadn't brought a bathing suit.

I wish you offered an a la carte breakfast menu. There were not many other eateries around the hilltop. You apparently had a brochure about the history of the property. It was only in French (English would have been better for me) but in any case they were out of stock. I thought it was odd that the front desk hosted us to our elevator but there was no help with getting the luggage to the room. Although they did preface by saying I will show you the way .... not let me help you with your bags.

- The hotel seems to be an old monastery based on its location and design - The rooms are big - Restaurant on site with a beautiful garden view and friendly staff - The hotel is relatively small, even if it's at its 100% capacity it's not crowded. - Great drinks at the bar - Friendly staff - Gorgeous lobby with a modern look throughout the hotel - Biggest garden in a hotel around the area, it gives castle vibes. - 10 minute walk from the Basilica of Notre Dame - I went during winter and it was cloudy, but the view must be spectacular in other seasons

- Individual beds are super small, smaller than usual in comparison to other hotels - Not close to downtown, it requires two transfers after a 10 minute walk, taxis/uber is a 13-20 Euros trip on way, and they charge 15+ Euros per day for car parking (Safe area tho parking area) - The sauna/jacuzzi location is on the main floor beside the restaurant, and in front of the bar AND there are no changing rooms, so I had to walk by naked butt under the robe through two floors and in front of the restaurants (restaurants have glass door/walls. It is a very inconvenient location to be walking around with slippers and a white robe while people are arriving at the hotel or eating.

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.

My shower never heated up - which I thought was taking the convent experience to another level! Seriously though, they said it had happened in a couple of rooms and seems like a pretty big oops for a high end hotel. Would have been even worse in the dead of winter. Ordered some pome frites (fries) at the bar and they were so loaded in salt they were inedible. Aside from those things I really loved the place.

The location The reception - stunning. Such a novelty to stay in an old convent. The reception area was beautiful. Nothing like I've seen before. The restaurant ambience. Those beautiful windows! just divine.The beautiful pool area The building and surrounding gardens -gorgeous

The bathroom although big, lacked a bit of finesse and warmth. The styling and decor didn't seem to match the vibe and hotel feel. Same with the bedroom. The metal bed head didn't look good and it was not pleasant to lean against whilst reading a book. A big rug/warmth was needed in this room

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.

As per below

I don't know where to start ... our stay was close to perfection: an amazing location, an exceptional site full of history and character, which has been revamped and tastefully decorated. The food was delicious, the drinks and wines were tasty, the swimming pool and spa were spaces of beauty and relaxation. I can't but sing the praises of the staff, who were professional, helpful and absolutely lovely. Attention to details and excellence "à la française" were the key words I would use to describe an enchanting stay whose memories I will treasure forever. It deserves a fifth star.

I wish I had booked a much longer stay in this heavenly hotel.

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.
