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.

Great location close to Bellecour metro station. Friendly and helpful staff. Standard French breakfast is optional with bread, croissant, butter, spreads, yogurt, juice and tea or coffee. Narrow lift starts from the first level above ground floor, so might be tricky if you have lots of luggage (so request a lower floor for your room). For a 2 star hotel, I was very happy.

The bathroom facilities were a bit old, but everything worked OK, and it was clean.

Location was perfect. It is in the middle of much of what is happening in Lyon. Lots of shops and restaurants.

The reception is a bit odd. The desk attendant is in an area below the desk, and appears when someone comes in. Also, you have to take your luggage up a set of stairs to take an elevator to your room. Even with these small issues, I think the hotel is an overall good value due to the room itself, the location of the hotel, etc.

Perfect place for a budget stay. Room was small but clean, private bathroom was nice. Did not partake in breakfast but looked lovely. Amazing location, close to so many shops and restaurants and the old town.

Lots of stairs to get to the top, the shower didn't have an interior handle so it was a little sketchy trying to get out. Top floor was an A-frame room so maybe wouldn't be as comfortable for taller people, shower was also very tiny. Fine for people that are shorter.

Friendly staff, perfect location in the city center close to a metro station. 24/7 reception, clean and comfortable room. Working wifi.

Lift starts from 1st floor (not ground) and ends on the 5th (not 6th). The single room was really tiny with one roof window only but good enough for just spending one night :). Luckily I didn't have a suitcase but would have been a challenge to place it somewhere.

My wife and I spent 3 days in this hotel. We really appreciated the kindness, the availability, and the professionalism of the staff. The room was clean and quiet. The location is in the heart of the old city, close to the main attractions of the city. There are many local and good restaurants and cafes at walking distance. We fully enjoyed our visit.

Very friendly staff, so nice to be welcomed in person rather than figuring out codes and searching for rooms using a long list of instructions! Very flexible and allowed us to stow our bikes inside. Great location, very central yet totally quiet.

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.

Breakfast was typical French, coffee and croissants. The location was good, either metro or city bus from the train station and a short walk. The hotel was close to shopping and restaurants. Being in the city center made it easy to see museums and other attractions.

The shower pretty small , but again typical for the older city hotels. 😊

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.
