Chalmoux Vacations from ￥292,748

The odd numbered rooms are next to the noisy train that runs multiple times a night. In hot weather you must chose between discomfort and hearing frequent trains clattering by.

This is my favorite hotel in Lyon. I have stayed there half a dozen times. Can't beat the location on the river and easy access to dining. Also, as a dog owner, I love that there is a dog park half a block away and a large green space at the end of the same block. The staff is always helpful and friendly. No need to look further, this is THE place to stay in Lyon.

This is a very charming hotel. We enjoyed our stay. The Massena train stop was a short walk from the hotel, making it convenient to hop on the metro to get to Old Lyon in 10-15 minutes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Lots of dining options nearby. We would stay here again.

Location was great for those that are comfortable walking around town. The apartment was spacious and a great base for us in Avignon. There are many dining and market options nearby. Hosts were great and easy to contact if needed. The only thing to be aware of is that parking in the area is quite difficult (for much of old Avignon). When being dropped off by taxi we walked about 5 minutes to save a very slow drive in the city.

The location is very convenient, especially for catching the train. Some of the staff we interacted with were kind and helpful, which we appreciated. That said, there were a few challenges during our stay. The room and hallway had an unpleasant odor, as if there might have been a drainage issue. Our shower door didn’t close properly, so we had to use towels to catch the water. At check-in, we were reminded not to adjust the HVAC ourselves, which felt a little unusual. We also experienced a delay at the front desk while the receptionist was handling another call. Breakfast could have been better—though they asked what time to expect us, the selection was already quite limited when we arrived, and it felt a bit picked over. Overall, while there were some positives, we probably wouldn’t choose this property again and would look for another option in the area.
