Quiet location . Near a main train/ metro station. Unfortunately there is no restaurant for hotel guests onsite. The cooliing system in the room was not responsive, so sleeping was a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was very good and the staff were excellent.

Great Hotel in splendid Lyon

The Hotel was fabulous, clean and easy to reach. We loved our room with a great view, a hot bath and a strong WIFI signal. And what made the hotel even more special was the ladies at the reception: warm, kind, welcoming and helpful. Thanks Hotel Charlemagne by Happy Culture for a great stay in splendid Lyon.

Location was great for those that are comfortable walking around town. The apartment was spacious and a great base for us in Avignon. There are many dining and market options nearby. Hosts were great and easy to contact if needed. The only thing to be aware of is that parking in the area is quite difficult (for much of old Avignon). When being dropped off by taxi we walked about 5 minutes to save a very slow drive in the city.

My sons and I stayed for one night at the hotel Charlemagne so we could experience the city and the food culture it provided. We enjoyed the air conditioning the hotel had to offer in the rooms AAA we happened to hit a warm spell at the time of our visit. The lobby is fine, the elevators smaller than one might expect at a 4 star hotel, but all in all the photos of the facility are fairly accurate. It is a nice place to stay for the money you pay.

A good spot in Lyon

While a little "worn around the edges", this hotel is very pleasant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Bed comfort is very good. We discovered a good bistro down the road - the midi-minuit - which actually closes at 10:30 (bizarre given the name). Looked at Georges bistro but was overcrowded and too noisy. If you arrive late, parking is free in the street.
