Hôtel Le Boulevardier

1/ the design 2/ the staff, especially the owner 

Unusual and fun artefacts were on display which made the hotel memorable. The location was central and convenient to shopping, restaurants, museums and the river.

The room was smallish, and had no coffee or tea available. The breakfast area was crowded and I got the impression they didn't care a fig if I wanted a second cup of coffee.

I stayed three nights in a clean room with shower and toilet. Out the window was a lovely view of the neighborhood church. The decor of the hotel is quirkly and humorous, a fun background one wouldn't often see. Entry after hours was very convenient and despite the central location, the hotel was quiet.

The room had few amenities. There was no coffee pot or fridge. The breakfast was meager and it seemed as though the coffee was rationed to one cup.

Location for solo travelers.

Shower mold and bathroom wall patches. See photos. Mosquito bites at night. Bank credit card machine not available for paying city tax. Advised to go to ATM for cash to pay instead. Carpet going upstairs moldy and smelly.

Good

I’m not sure this is good or bad but i basically checked in and out almost without any direct contact with a human. It was easy and efficient but also a bit lonely.

location is excellent and the reception service was friendly, suitable for a city trip where you dont spend a lot of time in your room

it is an old building as mentioned and some areas smell a bit weird, but the room was totally fine, we stay in an inner-courtyard room and had no light, if this is important to you i would recommend to book a different room, there is no door to the shower (toilet is seperate with a door)

This is an excellent hotel and good value. The rooms are cleaned daily with new towels provided, and a good size. The location is very good as it is 5mins from the old town and 5mins from the shopping district. Staff are very friendly. My expectations were exceeded.

Convenient parking, warm welcome and great breakfast.

Great location

Very steep stairs and no help offered with our luggageNo air conditioningVery very noisy especially with a bottle bank right outside which people used at all hours of the day and nightFull bed too small for 2 adultsStaff hard to locate

Great location for exploring Lyon. Stored our cycles overnight. Early check-in.

Steep narrow steps, small room and bathroom with reading lights mounted on the headboard that you bang your head on and cramped breakfast room with slow service

Breakfest good, location excelent.

Missing air condition. Room very small, no enough space for clothing.

The property was in a great location. Easy to walk to the sites, restaurants, stores, and buses. It’s also right next to a big church, so easy to find. The hosts were very nice and even loaned me an umbrella on a very stormy day.

Be warned that there is no elevator and you have to take your luggage up to your floor on a spiral staircase.

Hotel is in an excellent location. Just a few minutes walk to all attractions, about 5 minutes walk to the bridge to the old town, and most recommend restaurants within a 10min walk. Easy to access by both public transport and taxi from airport. The staff were very friendly and it was easy to get in and out of the building when staff were not around via access code, this made it feel safe. Rooms were small but as someone who was solo travelling it was a perfect size.

WiFi was basically non existent on the 2nd floor and reception bad if you were to use your own data. There’s no aircon just a fan, this was fine for me in September heat but some people might struggle during the summer. The street was loud at night at the weekend but that’s to be expected staying in a city.

The hotel was very quirky which we liked and the location was excellent, it was walking distance from everything we wanted to see

The stairs were tricky but the description does warn you of this. I think the lighting on the stairwells could be improved. Also we were locked out on our first night as the bar closes at 8 which we hadn't realised and we hadn't taken the entry code with us, however this was probably our fault for not checking with the hotel staff before we went out to eat.

we loved the staff and location! we highly recommend the breakfast as well.

the room was a little small and without air conditioning. luckily, we were in Lyon in July with very mild temperatures (around 70F)!

Great location, great staff, good bed, access via a code - no need to wait for the staff to check in

Toilet and shower in separate 'rooms'. Limited options of leaving your stuff while the hotel staff is off (siesta time), no A/C

Quaint and easy to enter even when staff is not there. Steep stairs but Jules was quick to get me up to my room. Superb location. Nice breakfast.

Tiny room but okay for a night or two. Stairs were a challenge for older person. Property was Euro in that the windows open onto an atrium like space.

Great staff, very helpful. The room on a third floor (2ème etage) was of adequate size. Great location in downtown. Beautiful decoration. Very good breakfast.

While the room has a ceiling fan it was still hot enough to warrant opening the windows. Like this, I woke up several times at night because of noises from the neighbors. Jet-lagged people beware:)

Location

No A/C, hot room, loud outside when trying to sleep with the windows open, 72 stairs up a spiral staircase to get to my room, no P-trap in bathroom , so smells like sewage crap! Not ideal! Said b-fast was included, but I would just need to cover the tax which ended up being €12.80 for a croissant and a coffee pretty scammy in my opinion!
