Le Phenix Hotel

The staff at Le Phenix are amazing . Always friendly. I felt comfortable with them. They are gracious for we English speakers who have less than rudimentary French (I practiced! Really I did!) The rooms have good AC if necessary. The restaurant associated with the hotel is shockingly good. Such a wonderful lunch! We did not have the breakfast buffet because we eat so light, we did not find value. I do wish there was a hot water kettle in the room. Beds are comfortable. Our room was spacious. Housekeeping services were complete. Room was quiet. The location is convenient to many buses. We walked from Gare de Lyon part- Dieux, but I would recommend the C13 ir the TB 11 for an easier trip if you have bags. The location of Le Phenix is a perfect place to be close to Croix- Rousse, all the 1st and 2nd Arr’nt, the bus to Maison des Canuts, Fourviére, and all of Vieux Lyon. I want to make another shout out to the staff. And oh! The Jambone- Buerre sandwich as a picnic lunch? Just say oui merci!

This hotel was an excellent location for a short visit to Lyon. Short walk to restaurants and shops, and to the funicular to Basilique Notre Dame. Also, right on the Saone River. The hotel room was comfortable, although carpet was stained and looking tired. Carpet in hallways were also stained and tired. Furniture also had stains and was in need of deep clean or replacement. Breakfast was good and complimentary water for room was appreciated. Limited parking was available and must be reserved well in advance. 50 euro per day parking seemed high compared to the other hotels we stayed at on our driving trip through France. I would still recommend this hotel for location.

The location was very central so easy to walk everywhere. The room was very large and had a high ceiling which made it seem even bigger. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff at this hotel was particularly friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location was also great- just to the north of old Lyon, right along the river and an easy walk to most of the sites. The lobby and bar/restaurant area had a very fresh and recently renovated look and was a pleasure to walk through every day. The room itself was a bit dated but large and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
