We ran into the hotel owners who are actually on-site and working there. In addition to running a first-class operation, they have created a unique artistic/design atmosphere that can be experienced throughout the hotel. The large, main area upon entry is a combined leisure space and breakfast room/bar. The design of the space is beautiful, fun, extremely comfortable and filled with interesting obje d'art collected by the owners at flea markets etc. We will return to Lyon if for no other reason than to spend a few more nights at Hotel Verdun. You can't have a better hotel experience than this.

We have enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. It’s a lovely property and very walkable to so many points of interest. We were actually scheduled to check out this morning but my husband threw his back out just as we were about to leave. The staff and the owner have been so helpful and so kind. The staff told me where to find the closest pharmacy and the owner sent a plate of food up for my husband and provided a bag of ice, which was a huge help. In addition to that they are keeping our room available to us for as long as we need to stay. I feel very supported by them. Not only is it a lovely hotel but the owners and the people who work here are the nicest people! I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely plan to stay again if we are fortunate enough to visit Lyon in the future.

Excellent service by entire staff

A City of Lights star.

I was led in the booking the hotel by the reviews of others and I was NOT disaapointed. The welcome was warm from when we checked in to checking out. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was tastefully designed and decorated and very comfortable. Great selection for breakfast to start the day. Amazing location. Quiet but within walking distance of the citys attractions. So much to see and do. Highly commend to others.

The hotel is charming. The hotel staff is incredibly helpful. We had a nice hotel room and bathroom larger than standard European sizes. We enjoyed a 20 minute walk to see the river & had a large choice of restaurants to eat at. I highly recommend this location.

Excellent location near the train station and walkable to the river and restaurants

Cool lobby, very helpful staff, comfortable room in a convenient location near lots of good restaurants.

Nice hotel and loved the decor of the room we stayed in. Close to the train station and walking distance to the town centre. A very pleasant stay.

Fine little hotel!

Most helpful staff ever, quiet and good sized room, well maintained, very near Gare Perrache, so good Public transportation. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nothing crazy

Comfy bed Quality of materials Nice breakfast Central location Bad sound isolation in hotel Lift not going to all floors Reception is small

The owners and the staff were very nice and helpfull

Lovely staff and excellent location

Wifi was difficult to access and absent for a period

Pleasant stay!

OMG! The owners of this hotel are so amazing! Genuinely interested in making sure you are comfortable and giving you advice on sights to see! We and our daughter enjoyed their advice and we were very pleased with the breakfast; only one or two blocks from Gare du Perrache; and only two blocks from Metro station. I was surprised as to how quiet it was being we were near the train station. Thank you again for your generosity!

Excellent

Although I got well lost in finding hotel!my fault entirely, due to my inability to pay any attention to maps! The hotel is located 4/5min from bus/train station! but you need to take a little time and get the correct route! lovely warm welcome at reception, fantastic check in,room all I needed!gd breakfast,all you can eat and drink!I would have no problems booking again Thank you,

Nice and attentive staff. Rooms have very thin walls. Your nights can be great or not so great depending on your neighbors.

Great location

The hotel is in a superb location just a few minutes walk from Perrache station and Metro. Particularly well located for Christmas market at Place Carnot and two Metro stops from the area where the Festival of Lights was commencing. The hotel itself is quite old and a little tired but plenty clean and comfy, however it doesn’t have a bar or restaurant. Not a major problem as there are numerous others a few minutes walk away. All in all, not luxurious but great location for a weekend break and very friendly, helpful staff.

Great hotel in the heart of Lyon

Booked 2 rooms. Excellent in all, except the double room had an extremely small bathroom and using WC was awkward to say the least. Otherwise very nice, friendly and helpful staff and Gilles the Directeur when out of his way to help. Hotel very close to all areas of interest

Great location and safe area

New owners where extremely helpful and kind. Gilles and Christophe were very helpful in recommending where to go and eat. Very close to the Gare du Perrache, safe area and easy to use the metro. Only negative was no A/C and with temps in the upper 80’s F it was hot. But was provided a fan when I asked. Would stay here again.

Good location - but - - - -

This hotel is in good condition and is in a good location. But, it isn't air conditioned (and Lyon gets pretty warm) AARP/Expedia fails to mention that and access to the lobby requires the front desk staff to buzz you in - 24 hours a day (there are 4 hotels in that block and the front doors of the other 3 are open most of the time). The hotel is around the corner from the Gare de Lyon-Perrache - about a 5-minute walk. Use Google Maps with caution - it directed me to walk in the exact opposite direction (I experienced that fairly often on this trip). The neighborhood is nice - many restaurants and coffee places, nice park just up the street - though, like most of France, very quiet on Sundays. There is a Metro station about 2 blocks away - public transit in Lyon is good.

recommend hotel

good location and good price i recommend this hotel for a long stay or short add to that the main station is close to the hotel.

Lyon

was really pleased with the hotel. nice room 5 minute walk to Perache station. Air conditioning would have been a bonus. The hot water takes 5-10 mins before warm enough for a shower. but overall good value. The old Town is a must for food and drink

Perfect for short break

great location, very central, 10 min taxi ride from Part Dieu Train station, staff very friendly & helpful

Good position, near the bus / tram / metro station

Ideal as a base for touring the city but would be even better if it was re-decorated and updated. Problem with smell of drains in very tiny bathroom sorted by the staff while we were out - thank you. Bathroom was minute and had a very high step - not ideal for visits in the night. Quiet room at the back but noise from air conditioning motors - for other rooms made it impossible to sleep with window open.

Large family room. Close to main station.

We have visited Lyons many times as a couple, always staying in Presqu'île. This time we needed a family room and were not disappointed. Located close by train station Perrache, the hotel is a five minute walk from Bellacour, very clean with helpful, friendly staff.

Second Best Western

Room had no air conditioning, so had to leave windows open - which meant the mosquito's got a feast. Room was very small, but not an issue for me personally. Only had hot water once from the shower, happily the room temperature counter acted this. Lots of noise started around 6:15 am, but I was on UK time so it felt like 5:15. Wifi was ok for browsing. Whilst it wasn't the worst hotel I have stayed at, I would't stay again.

Just a weekend

Hotel is located quite far from the center. It is about 15-20 minutes walk rather than 10. Hotel is old and has not been renovated for quite some time. Not really value for money. And there was a mouse in our room. Which we reported about. But not sure hotel management did anything about it... Overall - would not recommend it.

One week stay solo getaway

Relatively comfortable stay. Ice machine and ac would have been useful in the current heat wave. Excellent location, with metro, gare perrache and centre ville walkable in ten mins.

Great location

We spent 7days Did not try breakfast due to prior reviews

If Staying in Central Lyon

Location was good for our needs; close to city train station and historic sites within easy walking distance. This older hotel has clearly been restored but still needs attention to annoying maintenance issues like bathroom door that wouldn't stay closed. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

missing towels, soaps.. it didn't give an impression that room got prepared before my arrival

Good location

Short visit to Lyon. This place was in a really good location. Just a short walk over the bridge to old Lyon. Parking was not available, but it is only a couple of blocks from a parking garage.

10 minutes walk to the old city

A very nice and well situated hotel. Very friendly staff. Very comfortable room - lots of space. Would recommend it. Thank you

Nice hotel convenient to Tram station in Perrache

Hotel was ideally situated for our stay for 7 nights in Perrache. Beds were very comfortable and room was always kept clean by staff. Good shower. The only fault is that there wasnt any cupboards with drawers to keep items that you couldnt hang up. Also, and this is a fault of nearly every hotel I have stayed in, not enough coat hangers!

Hotel ok great location

Walls to thin, noisy from your neighbours, can hear very word spoken by your neighbours

Very Good Service

Checked out of Best Western Hotel de Verdun two days ago. The staff are super-friendly. The service and check in was perfect. The check-out was very quick. I was mostly impressed with the positive friendly attitude of the staff. The staff helped us with local information very patiently and so courteously, especially Christoph, the Gentleman who seems to be the hotel manager. Highly recommended.

Might be hard to find parking

The hotel is well located very near to the train station. Also about a mile from the center or downtown area. The service is good, the staff is cordial and helpfull. Mr. Asti, the owner, and the other front desk clerks speak good English. The overall experience was very positive.

Unremarkable

Friendly and helpful welcome. Hotel in old building and reception rooms and bedroom very dark, as was bathroom as lighting was subdued. Bed a little on the hard side. Didn't have breakfast as tables ridiculously close together in dark room where you had to cook your own egg and all for 12 Euros! Location OK if travelling by train but otherwise a little bit of a walk to the main sites on Presqu'ile, where hotel is situated, and Old Lyon. However, we were recommended to eat at Abel, a bouchon in the vicinity, which was fantastic.

Staff great and very helpful. Parking is weird but good and safe. But no air conditioning or screens.

Excellent place in central Lyon

This small hotel in Lyon is perfect for individuals or couples. Only a short walk from Gare de Lyon-Perrache, and within walking distance from Place Bellecour, it provides an affordable yet charming option for tourists and business persons. The rooms are small, but that is something to be expected. The personnel was very helpful and friendly. For those who enjoy urban cycling, there's a VeloV (Lyon's public bicycle system) station 20 steps from the hotel's door. I would definitively recommend this hotel.

Not sure we're to start

Hotel staff excellent, very friendly and very helpful. As for the hotel, it was very disappointing, rooms could do with renovation, bathroom not very clean, you can hear everything from the next room. Floor squeaks and bed sheets are dirty. I thought that Best Western hotels are good but maybe I'm wrong. Hotel is close to town centre but car park is a nightmare even though they have a garage. Sorry but I would not recommend this hotel but on another hand I must say that the hotel staff was really excellent.

Reasonable but not in summer

Old hotel, but clean. Staff seemed ok but not particularly helpful. Main issue was no AC and it's so hot in summer that it was difficult to sleep etc. also the main doors are always locked so everytime you wanted to come in you had to ring the bell and wait to be let in, even during normal business hours. Location was good near main square and close to train station. Wouldn't book again as just not comfortable enough especially in summer.

Good value and service

Mr Asti and his whole hotel staff were wonderful they were extremely helpful with anything that you needed. Rooms are small but u should expect that in France but it was clean and easy to get to it was in a great location to get anywhere.

Great room size

The stay was ok, however they made the booking on the wrong date, thankfully, they had vacancies when we arrived. The room they gave us was spacious and comfortable but there was no air conditioning, which would have been alright in winter but it was 30 degrees outside so... a bit too warm. The bathroom was also quite small compared to the room. But it was a very decent hotel, I really appreciated being able to walk around the room without having to squeeze between the furniture, it was a very big room!

Hotel very clean reception were great for information used garage for our car as we are travelling and that was fine would use hotel again we had a comfort room which was a nice size

Convenient hotel for exploring the Old Town

The hotel has two sections and one of our rooms was in the updated section. Very nicely decorated, clean, convenient and cheerful. The other room was not as nice, but was clean although a bit noisy because of the sound of water running through pipes from the level above. The staff were helpful and spoke English. They were on duty 24 hours, which was ideal as you needed to ring the bell to gain access to the lobby. The location could not have been better; 500 yards to the Gare Perrache train station, and masses of bistros and cafes within easy walking distance.

Be insistent on a room change!

we were scheduled to stay there four four nights and the first night we got there, we were given a room in the 2nd part of the 1st floor which was horrible!!! I mean the lights were like white strobe lights, the rug was so old and rhin that when wed walk it would crease beneath our feet, the bathroom shower wa too small and bath towels were hand towels! I went downstairs to ask for a room change, and was told i can ask for one the next day. I went down to ask for a new room and was told there werent any rooms available however, I didnt believe him. I described the room we were in and they had another room available on the first part of the first floor!!!! Oh my !!! What a difference!! Completely unexpected with recessive lighting and everything! I later learned, that the pictures of those rooms are on different websites! Hmmmmmm

Hotel de Verdun

This is a very old building, but has been fixed up to accommodate modern needs. Very friendly, helpful staff. We had about a 10 minute walk to get to a main town square, but a pleasant walk. Good food nearby and also the train station which was very convenient when we took the train back to Paris! I was especially pleased because the price was very reasonable for a very comfortable stay.

Charming Hotel de Verdun in great location

This hotel was worth the price. I can only agree with the other reviewers, the staff at the hotel is SO NICE! It makes you feel welcome! The hotel has a great location, just about 20 steps from the train station(where you can use an extended subway system and trams that get you anywhere, trains run very frequent!), and located in the beautiful old part Lyon. Rue de la Charite was full of nice shops, brasseries and some bars. However, the area is very quiet. The hotel room was spacious and the bed was comfy, just the carpet was a tiger pattern or something like that which is a bit odd but I liked it. The bathroom is a little more outdated but in functioning order. The only thing I would mention is that it gets a little hot and is not air-conditioned but if you are there before mid June and after August you will be fine temperature wise. this is a great place! I stayed in another hotel cross town in the newer part of Lyon for more money and was a lot less satisfied as with this hotel.

Hospitality Plus!

Hotel de Verdun was our central location during our stay in France. It is an older building. However, the rooms are very clean and the hospitality shown by the staff was excellent. They were very helpful in recommending places to dine, how to reach various locations in the city and they were especially hospitable during our unexpected extra week due to the volcano eruptions in Iceland. We definitely would return to Hotel de Verdun if the opportunity presents itself and to visit this region in France once again. Our hotel was around the corner from the Gare Perrache where we could take the tramway to different parts of town. Our walk to Old Lyon and the main dining restaurants was about 10-15 minutes. Not sure if the hotel is air conditioned which would be excellent during the hot summer days. Our room did not have a bar fridge. We are not certain if that is common in most hotels in France. Overall our experience was great and we definitely would return.

Hotel has very convinient location and staff is very helpful.We have very good experians with hotel staff.

Well Located Gem

The high point of staying at this hotel is the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner and his entire staff. The hotel is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-located. Anything that was not in our room was made available to us simply by asking. The lack of air conditioning was not a problem due to the fact that visited Lyon in October and had wonderful weather. This hotel is very close to the train station and metro. (A helpful travel tip....do not take a taxi from the airport....the cost was $100...for the 2 of us. The airport shuttle to the train station...a mere 5 minute walk to the hotel... cost $15.00 per person.)

Good Choice

The hotel is in good repair and the room was modern. Easy walk to all sorts of restaurants, etc., and the old part of the city. The internet and breakfast were not included which surprised me but that was probably my mistake. Close to a large garage.

GREAT HOTEL IF YOU DON'T NEED AIR CONDITIONING

Nice hotel, polite, helpful staff, close to metro, train, and bus stops. Room size is nice although shower is quite small. Only negatives are that there isn't air conditioning and the parking, although close by, is expensive.

Can't wait to go back to this Hotel

Good Hotel for Business purposes.

Un hotel con buena ubicación, servicio y limpieza

Très jolie hôtel

Sehr freundliches und kompetentes Personal!

Ruhig, zentral, Nichtraucher

Schönes Hotel in ausgezeichneter Lage. Ich kann so manche Kritik überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Die Zimmer sauber und gepfelgt. Laut Hotels.com gibt es viele Raucherzimmer, aber das ist ein Fehler und wurde auf meinen Hinweis hin vom Hotel gemeldet: Alle Zimmer sind Nichtraucher. Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Nebenstrasse. Man hört bei offenem Fenster die Hauptstrasse um die Ecke - aber es ist alles still wenn man die Fenster schliesst, sehr gut isloiert. Die AirCon funktioniert bestens und sehr leise. Parkplätze vor dem Hotel an der Strasse sind meist voll aber um die Ecke gibt es ein grosses Parkhaus.

Better to book via another platform

Don't book this hotel with expedia. As you can read in another traveler's review, this hotel assigns the worst rooms to expedia travelers. Unfortunately is true, whatever the owner will answer here. On every floor there is an ultra small room, the others are larger. Be sure you will get the smallest. Decor of the room, bathroom and bed was anyway good. Breakfast is not very rich. The room is kinda small, in front of reception. You will have only one paper towel assigned, with no chance to pick up more (to wrap a cookie for later, for instance).

Parfait

Très bon accueil, très joli hôtel, parfait, merci beaucoup.

Bel hôtel, très bon accueil et patrons très commerçants

Accueil au top

Tres bon accueil

Sehr nettes, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Unterkunft deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Frühstück eher mäßig.

En route vers ailleurs !

Pour faire une pause avant de reprendre la route, un petit resto et une nuit à l'extérieur de chez soi après le confinement. Bon hôtel avec accueil sympathique et bon conseil

Confort à améliorer pour un 3 étoiles

Chambre non climatisée et fenêtres en hauteur ne permettant pas d’aérer correctement. Heureusement, que j’ai pu obtenir un ventilateur

A améliorer

Pas de bouteille d’eau dans la chambre SdE très petite Tête de lit qui bouge Insonorisation pas terrible Literie ok

Pratique pour les transports, pas de rampe à l’entrée l’ascenseur ne donne pas sur les étages bis mais globalement c’est un très bon établissement

très bon rapport Qualité/Prix. très bien placé proche de la gare de Perrache et à seulement 5/10 minutes à pied (ou 2 stations de métro) de la place Bellecour

Estadia muito agradável

Funcionários muito simpáticos

Chambres vieillissantes mais propres et bon staff

J'ai eu l'occasion de rester 1 nuit dans l'hôtel. Si je dois revenir dans le quartier, je reprendrais cet hôtel. Il fait son travail pour un court déplacement d'affaires. Les + : - propreté - staff sympa et serviable - petit déjeuner divers avec produits locaux (!) - literie confortable - grande salle de bains avec douche - Extérieurs silencieux (ma chambre donnait sur cours intérieure) les - : - chambres vieillissantes - petite TV - véritable clé en acier avec son porte-clé

On reviendra pour la gentillesse de l'accueil !

Chambre correcte, très propre, lit confortable, douche et penderie spacieuses. On a particulièrement apprécié l'amabilité de tout le personnel. Merci à vous.

Sommeil....

Si vous voulez dormir correctement à éviter Si vitre voisin prend sa douche ou va au toilette et on l impression que l on partage lle même lieu au niveau sonorisation !!!!!!

Un hôtel calme et confortable

J'ai passé une nuit très confortable dans cet hôtel, bien situé près de bons restos. L'accueil était excellent, et c'est bien la première fois qu'on me propose un café au moment de payer.

L'hôtel est très vieillot. Photo du site ne représente pas la réalité des lieux. Avait la chambre 112, propre mais vieux et usager. Pas de prise au pied du lit,tres peu d eclairage. Chauffage coupé dans la chambre et eau froide. J'ai alerté l'accueil,pour lui je mentais.... Ils m'ont mis une vulgaire couverture de plus et un radiateur a bain d huile. Pas de prise pour le brancher a proximité et asseche la piece. Aucun geste commercial. Hotel a fuire, le gerant n'est pas comprehensif et est un vendeur de sommeil à 100 € la nuit.

Bien situé et sympathique

Bien situé, confortable, très bon accueil… Nous sommes arrivés trop tôt pour avoir la chambre (ce qui était de notre faute) et l'on nous a fait patienter en nous offrant une boisson. Bref, sympathique et à conseiller

Great location and service

Nice service, flexible check-in and check-out. Located in a nice area close to train/metro station and restaurants.

Génial gagne à être connu

Parfait hôtel très bien placé Accueil super

Non mi è piaciuto il fatto che per chi prenota con Expedia diano delle stanze di serie B

Aucune climatisation il faisait tres chaud dans la chambre de plus j'ai payé 150eur alors que lors de la reservation 120eur merci de me rembourser la difference merci

Bien !

Bon séjour, l'eau de la jour était tiède et non chaude, soucis de canalisation ? J'ai oublié mon chargeur de téléphones dans la chambre, un appel et il a été mis de côté en attendant mon retour, très bien !

最高なロケーションと親切なオーナー

2019年3月に夫婦で2泊しました。電車の駅にも近く、ベルクール広場までも徒歩5分以内でその間に小さいスーパー、地元で人気があるガレットのお店、美味しいベーカリーなどがあります。また隣にあるフレンチレストランFlairというお店は日本人シェフのお店でとても美味しかったです。最高なロケーションです。 フロントの方々は皆とても親切でオーナーのご夫婦は日本滞在の経験があり親日家。観光ポイントをマップで詳しく教えてくれ話しもはずみました。 私達が宿泊したお部屋は大きくはありませんでしたが、日本人の私たちにも清潔だと思いました。 フリーwifiもあり便利でした。

Super estadia!

Fomos super bem atendidos! Muito simpáticos e receptivos, hotel bem localizado custo beneficio ótimo!

hotel bien placé

bien placé, grande chambre confortable et propre mais insonorisation catastrophique.

Nettes Hotel. Alle sehr bemüht. Klimaanlage wäre noch eine Investition wert. Sonst Lage und Ausstattung nahezu perfekt. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen.

Zentral gelegenen

War eine Zwischenuebernachtung auf der zum Urlaubsort

Hotel propre mais un peu « vieillot« 

Hotel propre mais un peu « vieillot ». Le petit dej est servi mais à partir de 7:00 du matin. Un peu tard en semaine et hors période estivale. Un jour, les serviettes humides ont été prise mais non remise !?!? 3 étoiles... bon les critères sont là mais bon....

Ausgesprochen freundliche Herren an der Rezeption. Lage des Hotels ideal für Anreisende von Lyon Perrache. Zustand des Zimmers nicht mehr ganz perfekt. Lyon ist eine sehr interessante Stadt, und das Office de Tourisme unternimmt alles um den Aufenthalt so angenehm und erlebnisreich zu machen.

Un hotel sympa pour faire une escale d'une nuit

Très bon accueil. Les chambres ne sont pas très grandes. C'est fonctionnel et agréable. La table de travail est un peu petite pour poser un ordinateur.

Proche de la Gare Lyon Perrache

Bien placé car à proximité de la gare et à 500 mètre de la place Bellecour

accueil chaleureux et service impeccable.

Très bien

Très bon service. Chambre propre et assez spacieuse.

Чудесный уик-энд в Лионе

Останавливались в этом отеле с 8 по 12 декабря. Небольшой чудесный отель в центре, основные достопримечательности все в шаговой доступности, номер небольшой но удобный, есть чайник, пакетики с чаем, кофе, wi-fi в номере работал хорошо, телевизор, довольно просторные шкафы для одежды, все необходимое есть. но самое замечательное в этом отеле - это персонал!! Очень приветливые, улыбающиеся портье, говорят на французском и английском, всегда готовые помочь решить любую проблему и подсказать нужную информацию. В целом, нам очень понравился и сам Лион, и приветливые жители, и красивые площади...Обязательно вернемся к вам еще..

Basic hotel at a decent price and on a good location.

easy location

the hotel has a parking and it is very useful in that part of Lyon. The hotel is very near to metro station. You can reach any important touristic site in Lyon with three or four stops. the room are very clean and large but in my experience I felt very hot because there is not an air condioning in the rooms.

Heureusement le personnel est très sympathique

Les gérants peuvent remercier leur personnel. Très serviable, avenant, souriant, heureusement que le personnel m'a fait passer l'amertume de la vétusté de l’hôtel. L'hôtel est vieux et ça se voit, chambre triste, morose, vieillotte en bref l'archétype des chaines d'hôtel qui profite d'un emplacement et qui n'ont pas fait les efforts d'investir pour moderniser les chambres. Mon commentaire est aussi dur que vous manquez de respect aux clients en proposant à 95€ une chambre qui n'a pas été rénovée, rafraîchit, depuis au moins 15 ans, manque de chance pour moi, 2 luminaires sur 4 ne fonctionnaient pas. Le petit déjeuner ultra classique des chaines d’hôtel est cher puisque à 12€. Concrètement je ne reviendrai pas, je n'ai malheureusement pas apprécié mon séjour.

Équipement largement amorti

L'hôtel à vraiment besoin d'être rénové. La norme 3 étoiles est certes respectée mais pas pour le neuf et le moderne. J'ai dû déboucher la douche moi même, une fois trempé bien sûr. En revanche c'est très calme. Et le personnel tres accueillant.

Difficile de venir avec son automobile

Très grosse difficulté pour stationnement

Calme

Accueil très sympathique
