I couldn't help but notice upon arrival a smell of soap downstairs but also throughout my room! The staff was kind and very accommodating (don't hesitate to ask, if you have any questions). It was written before that the elevator starts on the 1st floor, no surprise there, and I had no problem with a bag and my little dog, who was also welcome there! My room was clean. The city is very nice and this place is in a "chic quartier". I arrived by car and parked in the nice "Parking LPA Célestins" which is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. FYI. from 1:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. I paid a little less than €30. Overall I felt safe. Good value for money too. I would definitely come back and I recommend. Merci Hotel Elysée!

Can't name a thing. I *would* come back.

Location, location ! Very friendly, and happy not to speak English if we're are obviously trying to speak French .24 hour reception. Best sound proofing if you happen to have a road side room. Simple, cheap, European breakfast.

No coffee making facilities in the room, and minimal soap. . You will just have to accept the typical small shower and lift.

Basic continental breakfast at reasonable price. Great location in business/shopping district in Lyon. Hotel stall very friendly and helpful.. Hotel is old but very well maintained and up to date. Access to breakfast room comprised a winding narrow staircase. Quaint old world charm, Nicely refurbished breakfast room looked like it previously served as a cellar.

Access to room is from first floor using stairs or lift that is very small. Access from ground floor reception is via a winding stair which was difficult to navigate with heavy luggage. Coffee/tea making facilities nor tissues were available in the room

Aside from having to carry luggage up to first floor this place is great. This is a European hotel with small elevator. Location was excellent and a great value. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great communication emails explaining parking.

Elevator to ground floor. Be prepared to walk stairs to get to breakfast.

Located in heart of all the shopping center, just beside Louis Vuitton store. Walking distance to old town, Basilica and major food joints. Clean rooms.

The elevator starts from 1st floor, you have to take stairs with your luggage from ground floor, so if you are staying in 1st floor, then the elevator is of no use. No kettle in the room, cheap plastic glasses. very small shower cubicle and heavier people will find it difficult to get inside. bonus: All the shops nearby remain close on Sunday in Lyon if you are planning a trip here. So location advantage of being nearby to all shops does not benefit.

The hotel has an excellent location, conveniently close to all the places I wanted to visit. The metro station is just a three-minute walk away. The rooms were clean and promptly serviced as soon as I left. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The elevator can be a bit inconvenient if you're staying on the 6th floor, but overall, it wasn't a major issue.

This is a very good hotel for the budget-conscious. It's location in the smart part of the city and the Old Town being just over the bridge makes it a very good value-for-money option when searching for a couple of nights stay in Lyon. The staff were friendly, the hotel is clean and our double-glazed comfort room looking over the street was perfectly adequate for our needs. The bed was comfortable, too. The reasonably-priced breakfast - yoghurt/bread/croissant/pain au chocolat/ coffee/orange juice was almost more than we could manage to eat! We are an older couple and have seen many examples of this type of traditional hotel over the many years we have been holidaying in France and it's so pleasant these days to find them - like the Elysee - updated and with air-conditioning, even if for some reviewers on this site, their expectations are much higher.

Nothing.

Hotel is located in the city center and has basic rooms with very comfortable mattresses. My room was clean. I stayed in march and it was very cold outside but thankfully heating worked perfectly. The stuff is very nice and helpful. I would stay there again.

I would add kettle as rooms equipment.

It was a classic small French hotel: located in the heart of a thriving district, distinctive, charming, intimate, with an optional breakfast at a reasonable price and a friendly, accommodating staff. There are amazing spots nearby, including public squares and the gorgeous theatre.

Nothing. It was fantastic!

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, close to everything and very convenient for exploring the city. My room was impeccably clean, and very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
