Nice hotel but the rooms are quite simple and similar to budget hotel rooms. We were given an accessible room with no shower screen, the whole floor was flooded after showering which we had to dry with the hotel worn out towels. Although staying for only one night while getting dressed in the morning the door of my room was opened by the staff, Very disappointed! When checking in our room, the lights couldn’t be turned on and we had to wait to be told that we could use the bedside lamps rather than the main light switch.

Superb location and hotel amenities. Excellent buffet breakfast. Spacious family suite (we checked in suite 209). Private parking with gate and cameras but beware, do not leave any suitcases or bags in you car at night

Set in an beautiful old monastery on the hill above the old town is Fourviere hotel. Nice modern understated rooms, a very good restaurant and a very nice outdoor pool for the summer months. This is a great home base for exploring Lyon. Would definitely recommend.

We were only able to stay one night but we loved the beautiful building. We took advantage of the swimming pool and tropical shower experience. We had one wine in the terrace and it was overpriced. We did not eat in the restaurant. Crazy hilltop location but you can take the tram up from town.

We are guests here for the new year. We had a beautiful massage and a fantastic New Year’s dinner. The staff is attentive, the atmosphere is great, the historic building greatly modernized, comfortable but with historic Charme. The food is superb. Bravo to the hotel management and employees!

The lobby is beautiful! However, there should be a sunroom in the center courtyard for the restaurant. Right now, everything is in the small surrounding hallways and you have to cross the dining area to access pool and spa which isn’t ideal. The spa is small, no lounging chairs; it has a steam room, but a luke warm hot tub and no sauna. The heated pool is outside and it is just warm enough to not get cold if you keep swimming in winter. The rooms are small, there’s a view on one side but the windows are also tiny. The sheets will make you sweat, and there’s isn’t much cooling in the rooms. Finally, parking isn’t included and will cost $17 additional per night. The $25 breakfast was average. There’s a kid playground outside which looks like public park, and there isn’t a garden or other outdoor art features. Overall, the historical aspect of the building is the main reason to stay there but the amenities are not on par with a 4 star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel.

Whoever did the renovation and preservation work on this convent turned hotel, did a great job. The exterior is well done, the foyer space is jaw-dropping gorgeous. Devision of spaces makes you often pass through areas you don't necessarily want to, f.e the restaurant on the way to spa or breakfast hall on the way to reception, but not critical. The rooms themselves feel like convention center rooms, kind of German design: modern, practical, pleasant- but lacking flair. Everything is in great shape though, and the interior design of the rooms is classical and functional. Still, some details, f.e: great to have long mirror next to the door, but then the light is wrong for it. Bed and bedding are comfortable, that's very important. SPA is cute, nice steam room and whirlpool, weird (or faulty) adventure shower and not enough heated pool outdoor. Breakfast: great job on cheese selection (4! Normally non-meat eaters are left with 1-2 choices) terrible job with the coffee (had better at gas stations) and scrambled eggs (a mash) but very nice omelet can be done by request. Staff: pleasant and friendly, professional, but: if your English isn't good enough, better send me to a colleague than have misunderstandings (mainly at breakfast). Restaurant: very nice, upscale but pricing is justified with quality. We enjoyed dinner. All in all: great for companies, or for a one night stay, not the whole visit, if you're a tourist in Lyon. Unique setting and view though. Fazit: Stunning architecture, practical room design, business

Very good location, comfortable rooms. Front desk assisted with getting our rental car picked up and having a car take us to the airport. Gave us good restaurant recommendations as well.

The rooms are very simple, they don't match the hotel's ambiance. The hotel is very chic, but the rooms are too simple, like in a lower class hotel. White empty walls, minimum amount of furniture. The soundproofing is very poor. We could hear the neighbours from the other side of the wall coughing and anytime the guests above us were moving in their room-the floor was squeaking very loudly. A little weird to pass people in the restaurant / bar with your luggage. Otherwise good hotel, clean, the bathroom and toilet are separate, which is quite convenient. The breakfast was also good, you can order an omelette etc. The parking is very good, but costs extra.

Caution: Sadly some of our bills were padded. Review each carefully before signing / paying. Given that this place is inside a former convent, imagine how we felt, even if unintentional. Stayed two nights. The staff were helpful. The entrance and lobby maintains its authentic, church-like decor. It’s inspiring. The rooms are essentially simple and bare convent quarters but enough space for the two of us. Wondering how many nuns slept in the same room. The toilet was a separate room. Given what we ate, I’m thankful for that. Parking was safe and partially gated with an electric car charger near overgrown bushes. Lots of large dogs around which could be nice but then again, the 8+ we encountered in the park area were all uncastrated and quite aggressive toward our lab. The signs indicated that dogs should be on the leash but, hey… most French don’t pay much attention to these kind of rules. The location is superb if you’d like to be on top of a hill near the famous church overlooking the old town and amphitheater. The price / value ratio is off for personal visits but very strategically oriented for smaller corporate events (max 60) The spa is unstaffed and caters nicely to couples with a steam room, a small Jacuzzi for two, an experience shower (a bucket?) and an outdoor lap pool used as a cuddle tub for four couples during our visit. The area around the pool has a few chairs on unkempt grass in an area ideal for relaxing in the lovely afternoon sun. just down the street - a Relais & Château five star… price difference was not dramatic, but the XP sure is.

Stayed in Paris and throughout Provence over 2 weeks but service at Fourviere was the best -- friendly, truly helpful and very responsive. Rooms are not opulent but are clean and highly functional, well designed and hotel is a creative delight. Little things that make big impressions -- esp the art. Really enjoyed our time with their team.

Motivated staff and kitchen. Wine list is solid. Great unique location - 1850s convent. Proximity to everything is a short walk, cable car or taxi. English is truly no problem. Book it and try it out

The location, although out of the main area, was not a real problem. The funicular and metro system are easy to use and a short walk away from the hotel. There was plenty of parking on site but at 17 euro per day. Only issue was that our room (225) air conditioner did not work and staff just said it takes a while to work. It just blew slightly cool air which did nothing. Our friends in the room next to ours had great air conditioning.

I loved this hotel! It’s a former convent built in 1854, and you can feel the History running through every part of this building. Beautiful & such a great idea to make a hotel out of it! We enjoyed the outdoor pool, heated up to 29 degrés Celsius. We’ll come back!

Are you looking for a three star hotel with the prices of a four star hotel and the rooms and service of a Russian prison? Well, look no further. The hotel was supposedly renovated in 2016, but that seems more like a coat of paint than a proper renovation. The breakfast is scarce and overpriced. You are much better off going to a local boulangerie.

Unfortunately very disappointing experience as expectations were high due to photos, Google Maps ranking, and 4-star ranking. However: 1. Rooms are extremely simple, very budget, probably renovated 20 years ago 2. Terrible service. Don’t expect requests to be completed. They tell you they will help and solve the issue, but then nothing happens. 3. Overpriced food and drinks. Way better to eat outside the hotel.

Fair value hotel rooms but they clearly make their profit on all the add ons. E.g. room for 75 euros but breakfast for 25. Beer for 12 euros. Transfer to train station which was 10 minutes, and despite assuring me it would be on the metre, they provide some executive people carrier which charges a flat rate of 40 euros.. you've been warned

My favorite hotel during my trip in France. The hotel is located on the Fourvière Mountain, very close to the famous Basilique. The hotel itself is a historical building, the interior is very beautiful, the service is very good, and the price is affordable. If you come to Lyon, I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful hotel, amazing and charming Excellent staff … a nespresso coffee maker in the room and some Japanese toilets would make your place just perfect !

A good reason to visit Lyon more than once! The building itself is very impressing,the inner yard is lovely you can have a nice breakfast there,(with french croissants and many more)or even a quite dinner. The inside arcades lead you easily to he rooms, decorated in a modern,simple but fashionable way. The modern wooden decoration of Pablo Reinoso in the reception ,is just amazing! The staff was very helpful,too,they made my stay there really pleasant.

Cleaning service took off our bed padding and didn’t replace it after first night… very uncomfortable twin beds for a 4 star hotel. TV didn’t work. AC didn’t work. Also was lucky to have the room above the trash compactor/ outdoor kitchen break area next to the public playground. Loud in the early morning at 5am and throughout the day.

Wow. What a building. Ex convent, hugely impressive. Great staff Restaurant a bit over itself. The food didn't match the building. It was ok. But the building is out of this world. So sets a very high bar.

I am so disappointed. The place looked beautiful and we were excited when we booked it for an overnight stay for an event. The exterior and lobby are gorgeous. The welcome was cold, at best and our room was ready more than an hour after checkin times, which was a shame as we couldnt really enjoy the spa before our event which is a BIG reason why we chose this hotel. When I mentioned it to reception, they didnt say a word, nice customer service (sarcasm). The room was fine, a bit bizarre like a locker room, not at all in style with the rest but clean so fine. The hairdryer was broken and had sharp pieces of plastic falling off, when i returned it there was no apology or anything, just dont worry was said, strange. The makeup mirror was broken, the shower head wouldnt stay uo higher than our shoulders, no coffee machine, but cheap packs of instant powder. No mini bar, no shampoo, no conditioner, nothing you would expect at a budget hotel and i mention these details because it is listed as a 4 star hotel but that isnt not the impression you have in the room. Would we stay again, nope. Would i recommend it? Absolutely not. Spend a bit less and stay in a nice hotel in lyon when you get not just value for your money, but at the very least, the basics. We are quite disappointed.

Best views and amenities of the hotels in Lyon bar none. Staff is excellent and accommodates those who don't speak French. Going to make this a yearly stop.

Fairly disappointing. A few major misses for an expensive hotel : shower's tempetature is unpredictable and keeps changing every minute which makes it unbearable. No coffee machine. The spa was off and the pool area was oddly designed. I'd go somewhere else next time

Quite a disappointment… I must say that I felt overwhelmed when entering the hotel, the entrance is spectacular, but after this… not much to be happy about. Very tiny room with a lack of coziness, basics breakfast, spa makes me think of my school’s gymnasium… a lot of negative points. Worse to come, had a massage booked. The massage room really has nothing appealing, nothing calming, soothing or relaxing. On top of that it is very noisy and the room was pretty cold (temperature wise). A sad experience for the overall budget spent for the whole experience despite the beauty of the building. Would probably not go back…

Beautiful setting in ideal location overlooking Lyon. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean, stylish and quiet - unfortunately ours was over the service entrance and the 6:45am delivery guy was particularly jovial that morning (professional whistler?) 😀

Beautiful old building with fabulous modern touches within. Fantastic long all year round outdoor pool, big hammam & fab jacuzzi. Lovely, quiet, situation with fab views of the city. Big onsite car parking, only 17 euros per 24hours. Top notch restaurant. Stunning entrance chapel! Only 10 mins walk to Vieux Lyon with tons on fab shops and restaurants and places of interested. Right next to the Basilica & Roman amphitheatre.

Beautiful hotel, great service from arrival to departure. The rooms are modern and minimalist but very comfy bed and had everything we needed. We had an issue with a/c in our room and as they couldn't repair it they moved us with no fuss. Breakfast was excellent, good produce and plenty of choice. It's a unique property in a lovely location and I would definitely return.

Great hotel. Loved everything except.. they have turned off the air conditioning for the season. We stayed 3 days at 27 degrees. I had 3 very poor sweaty sleeps. Either turn on the AC all year or install screens in the windows to allow them open while keeping mosquitoes out. Being environmentally friendly doesn’t have to be at the cost of a good nights sleep.

We stayed in this beautiful building for two nights at the end of our two week visit to France. The woman who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable although we would have loved a better view and a bigger window. We did not realize when we booked how isolated the location was with regard to nearby cafes and Boulangeries. We did not care to spend $25/person each morning for the breakfast buffet and had hoped to be able to just run around the corner and pick up a coffee and croissant but that wasn't an option. We were able to order for $11/person a (very small) cup of coffee and croissants and the croissants were very good. The waiter and restaurant staff did not seem pleased that we did not want the full buffet and they seemed concerned that we were going to try to snatch something from it. We did not dine in the restaurant, mainly because of bad reviews. We did enjoy some wine in the courtyard one night, and drinks in the bar on our second night. While the restaurant staff and some of the front desk staff seemed a little snooty, the people working in the bar were wonderful - I wish I had their names for a shout out. We were able to find a wonderful little restaurant hidden on a nearby street for dinner. All in all, it was a pleasant stay but I would not stay here again, mainly due to the isolation. We had not trouble with it being on the hill. We took the vernacular with our suitcases when we arrived, and then we just walked back down the hill, around Lyon, and back again.

The property is beautiful and staff were very helpful. Very relaxing time with a great location!

Beautiful hotel on the hilltop. Two issues though.. The beds are really uncomfortable and there's only one English speaking channel on TV.

Nice building architecture. Good service . Strange furniture choice for the room, not tasted f&b yet

Lovely hotel. The rooms were clean, quite large and modern, the lack of a kettle was the only negative. The bar downstairs had a good vibes and hospitable waiters. The hotel itself is on a very, VERY steep hill and is a little bit away from central Lyon. Make sure you know about the funicular/train from Vieux Lyon which takes you very close to the hotel (we didn’t, got very sweaty).

Only one complaint about room size,according to the booking should be 21 square m,but looking mach smaller. But extremely polite stuff and perfect restaurant compensate this inconvenience. Many thanks to the young lady (waitress) who served us. Hope to visit again.

This was a wonderful experience. My first time in Lyon and the team at Fourviere made me feel like family. The food was excellent, the room was beautiful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic hotel, beautifully renovated and a great location overlooking the city. Friendly staff with special thanks to the Lyon fan on reception (sorry we didn't catch your name but really appreciated your guidance). The room was well thought-out and the bathroom excellent. The hotel is situated above the old town which is easily accessed via a cable car just a short walk from the hotel via the roman remains and La Basilique both must sees. I have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and for a combination of reasons this was one of my favourites!
