Very friendly welcome, and we ordered pizzas at the reception desk. My daughter had business school oral exams to take the next day; she was very happy to have air conditioning and had a great rest. Plus, she was accepted to Em Lyon. A big thank you.

The room was very spacious and had a handicapped-accessible bathroom. The environment was unbeatable, and the transportation was super convenient, with both the train station and subway station nearby. The only downside was that I requested room cleaning at the front desk, but it wasn't done. Overall, it was a good experience.

Really liked it because of the heater! The room had no tea pod nor fridge. For hot water to drink you need to go to the breakfast room, which is in another building. My room was kinda smelly, not sure about the source as everything was clean and tidy. Bearable, but I’d prefer it withou smell. Water from bathroom shower pours on the room floor even if you are try not to spray it much. Also might be a bit noisy, but I was fortunate to have neighbours that are not active at night and in the morning. Would recommend considering all this possible inconvenience

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Charlemagne By HappyCulture in Lyon! Everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel is modern, clean, and very comfortable, with spacious rooms and a peaceful atmosphere — a real plus in the city center. The location is perfect: just steps away from the Perrache station, tram and metro stops, and within easy walking distance to the old town and the riverside. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and they kindly allowed us to check in early at no extra cost. Breakfast was delicious and offered a good variety. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value and a perfect base for exploring Lyon. We’ll definitely stay here again on our next visit!

A wonderful stay. The hotel is within 15 walking distance from the Lyon station and also close to the nearby Westfield mall. There are a few good eating places nearby. There isn't much room service or amenities just the basic, no phone in the room. A small kitchenette for ease. The staff at reception is very welcoming. A special thanks to INGRID for all her support and kindness. She was a STAR 🌟. I recommend the hotel for short stays or a stay with no frills.

II’m Joseph,
The hotel was very accommodating. The reception was well organized, and the staff were professional and well behaved. I stayed on the seventh floor, and my window faced the main street, offering an amazing view. I really liked the color combinations and the overall layout of the hotel. The bathroom was simple yet very well maintained. The shower was equipped with a water-saving system, which I appreciated. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I had a wonderful experience overall. On the day of my departure, I paid €93 for transportation from the hotel to the airport. I recommend checking alternative transportation options in advance.

I love this hotel. Take some walk you can get to metro station then visit many places! Vieux lyon , Fourviere, the halle de Lyon , parc de tete d'or . There are everything you need , microwave, TV water boiler, refrigerator, hangers, a cabin for cups ,plates , and cooking stove . This is the hotel I have seen that offers most for the customers !impressive The only point I could pick is that it is not 24 hours reception. When I got there ,it already evening 10pm. I can only contact by phone and follow the instructions by calling But the problem is I couldn't call when I don't have roaming nor French Sim card . This is quite nervous for me... i even not good at english numbering ,so if you couldn't really speak english nor french . Please be careful not to check in out of working hour ( it would be better if there is more urgent contact way )or maybe this is my problem.... Luckily I met a realllly kind customer, who helped me make the call and solve the check in problemwith me . Without him ,i can't imagine what would happen I mean .I really appreciate him (not sure if he would see this )also this kind gesture create a great impression to this trip !

The location is good, and the lobby is nice. However, the room is too small and very basic—so small that there’s no space to open a suitcase. The mattress is thin and moves around, and the bathroom is also very simple and bare.
