HOTEL DE BRETAGNE, Lyon

The hotel is positioned on the Presqu'Île peninsula in central Lyon, just a 2-minute walk from Rue Mercière with its many restaurants and a 7-minute walk from the old town. Place Bellecour and the Fine Arts Museum are within 10 minutes on foot. Cordeliers Metro Station (200 metres) connects directly across the city, while Perrache Train Station is 2 km away (20-25 minutes on foot). For drivers, street parking around the hotel is difficult, especially during market days or events; the nearest public car park, Parking Saint Antoine, is a 4-minute walk away and costs €3 per hour. The area is walkable for most destinations and well served by metro and bus.

All guest rooms are reachable via staircase - there is no lift. Each room includes a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, a wardrobe, a desk, cable TV, and a flat-screen TV. A hairdryer is available on request at reception. Some rooms have carpeted floors and city views. Room sizes vary, with some described as very compact (less than 10 m2) and basic; there are also larger rooms available such as twin rooms with two beds. Windows in some rooms face interior ventilation shafts, which can be warm and lack natural light, while street-facing rooms may have more light and provide a view of the lively area. Noise from neighbouring rooms and the staircase can be audible, and street-facing rooms may pick up outside noise. The property is older and functional, making it best suited for short stays where the central location is the priority.

The hotel serves a continental breakfast each morning, including bread, pastries, hot drinks, and gluten-free options. Breakfast is charged at €9 per person and is taken in a small room off the ground floor. While the breakfast offers basic selections, guests wanting a more varied or substantial start to the day will find several cafés, restaurants, and bakeries within a short walk along Rue Mercière and the surrounding streets. There is no restaurant or bar on site, so all other meals are best planned at nearby dining spots - many are within a few minutes' walk.

Wellness and leisure amenities are not available at the property. Guests seeking spa services, a pool, or a fitness centre will need to find them elsewhere in the city. For downtime, the central location provides easy access to the Rhône riverbanks, Place Bellecour, and the old town for walks and sightseeing.

Wi-Fi is free in all areas. Daily housekeeping is included, and luggage storage is available at no extra cost for early arrivals or late departures. Express check-in/out is offered, and a safety deposit box is available at reception. The property operates with key access and has CCTV, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. There is no lift, no airport shuttle, and no on-site parking. Bicycles cannot be stored inside the hotel but can be parked at Parking Saint Antoine (150 metres away). Cot(s) are available on request. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, and MasterCard.
