HOTEL DU DAUPHINE, Lyon

Perrache station connects you directly to Vieux Lyon, Presqu'île, and the city's main shopping streets, all within a 10-15 minute walk. Numerous bars, cafés and restaurants are clustered within 300 metres, including options like Il Palio, Café Vatel and Brasserie l'EnKfee. Junction 39 of the A6/E15 motorway is just 200 metres away, making the hotel accessible for drivers arriving from outside the city. The central location means most major attractions, including the Parc de la Tête d'Or and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, are easily reached on foot or by a short metro ride.

Rooms come as singles with a 120 cm bed or twins with two 120 cm wide beds, with double-glazed windows to reduce street noise. Some rooms have undergone partial renovation - new bathrooms and fresh paint - while others retain older decor. Space is limited; larger rooms such as the triple offer more comfort for families. Road-facing rooms can be noisier, particularly on weekends, so lighter sleepers may prefer a room at the back.

Breakfast is served in the hotel's dining room between 7:30 and 9:30, offering bread, pastries, and hot drinks. Advance notice is required the night before, as food is arranged upon confirmation. The hotel has no restaurant or bar on site, but the surrounding streets are full of dining options within a 2-minute walk, including traditional Lyonnais brasseries and international cuisine.

The hotel does not offer wellness or leisure facilities on site. For relaxation, the nearby Parc de la Tête d'Or is a 15-minute walk away, and the Saône riverbanks are a pleasant 10-minute stroll for outdoor walks.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Luggage storage is offered free of charge, allowing you to explore the city before check-in or after check-out. Daily housekeeping is provided, and the 24-hour front desk can assist with late arrivals, recommendations and maps. A private parking garage is located nearby (not on the hotel premises) and costs €19.99 per day with no reservation required. Fax/photocopying is available for an extra charge. The hotel does not have an elevator, so guests with limited mobility should consider this when booking.
