This 1920s building has retained many original features. My single room had a fireplace but blocked w painted board and not like in picture. The decor is too my liking very eclectic and bathroom is modern. Shower good stream and hot ! The manager and front receptionist Amber were outstanding with fixing sink default and gracious in providing me a free breakfast. Both always friendly happy easy to talk to with great English. Close to tram metro bakeries groceries
Wifi could be better as only 1-2 bars strength
Loved elevator which is for 2 people and stairs old curved marble were easy w backpack and my being 74 💕. Breakfast = biggest croissant baquette cheese yogurt jams espresso served to you in delightful sunny room.

This is the perfect little boutique hotel when visiting this city. First is the location. Situated in and between the two rivers, you are at the exact perfect spot to begin your walking adventures. Old town and the funicular are an easy walk. Plenty of relaxing locations along the rivers and of course tons of caffès and restaurants in every direction. The hotel itself is on the 2nd floor and there is an elevator if you need. The rooms are tiny but clean and modern. The front desk workers are the best you will find anywhere. Extremely polite and helpful. You get an old school key. There is a morning breakfast and be sure to sign up for it the night before.

The hotel proudly advertises it is a 2 star hotel and I would agree. There were limited amenities and the room I stayed in was fairly small with a bed that moved about a little fairly easily and pillows could use some improvement as they're very small. However, it was exactly what I wanted, clean bed and room, great location walking distance from almost all of the attractions in the area and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Rooms very nice. While the room itself was classic European, the bathroom was very upscale and new. Staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Location in old town, on one floor of a residential apartment building, we walked a bit to restaurants. Be aware there are three steps up to the one person elevator and managing luggage is awkward. I am 70 and did fine.

Clean, friendly, super location✔️👌👍

This hotel was small, friendly and spotlessly clean. Very well located for the Old Town, the river banks, restaurants, Perrache station and Ampere Metro. It was ideally located for exploring Lyon, a beautiful, underrated city, in my view. Beautiful, fresh french bread, cheese, jams etc for breakfast+ delicious croissants. Perfect for a weekend of exploring and chilling out. Very happy with a reasonably priced hotel that had all the basics covered. Recommend! Plus Abel Comptoir restaurant =next door. Booking required. Well worth it.

Great stay, confusing entrance

Amazing location, friendly service. Room was small but tidy and good enough for me. You get a fob to come in and out the time you want but the check in was confusing to me, I was expecting a reception but there was only a door and a intercom, and then another door, you have to call twice so they can let you in. The hotel is on the 2nd floor, so it’s confusing if you don’t know that. If they sent check-in instructions by email prior, I’ve never received it.

Lovely stay at Hotel Vaubecour 5*!

The hotel is the second floor in a traditional apartment building. The building is lovely and the rooms have been sympathetically set up with modern bathrooms introduced.
The hotel is exceptionally clean. Owners/staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us a map and indicating the various areas to visit. There are also lots of guide books in Reception to borrow/look at.
We did not have breakfast at the hotel as preferred to go out to local cafes/boulangeries.
We stayed in Room 9 which is a double room overlooking Rue Vaubecour. We did not really hear any noise from outside through the secondary glazing.
There was a little noise from the apartment above but nothing too intrusive - maybe just a chair moving on the floor.
The location is excellent and we had good weather so walked to all the sights, but there are Metro stations very close by..
We would definitely stay again - thank you!

Quaint and very old fashioned this property is good form having that old France experience. However I would not recommend it long term. It was like staying in an apartment with EXTREMELY loud and annoying neighbors. My entire 24 hours there I kept wondering, ‘okay now what is that??? Are they cutting down trees or just moving all of their furniture?’ Plus if you are handicapped at all this is not the hotel for you. I picked it because it said elevator and I have a bum knee- elevator was tiny and also non operational so up two flights of stairs I lugged my luggage to get to the lobby.

Staff was very friendly. The room was perfect and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. This location is 3 minutes to a metro (Ampere Victor Hugo) and 13 min walk to the main train station (Parrache). The hotel is on the 3rd level of the building.

Lyon is such a beautiful city, so much history to discover. Gastronomy here is on a different level. We enjoyed Lyon so much.

Set up is more like a B&B although the property has the word hotel in the name. Located on second floor of residential building. Locals upstairs I felt had elephants for pets, making a lot of noise moving furniture all day and heavy foot steps. Andy on front desk AMAZING! Lovely well run family hotel. Would I stay again, probably not, rooms are tiny for 2 people, no fridge, no complimentary water offered on arrival. I prefer a hotel where I don’t need to listen to local living. Would recommend, however full disclosure, it is set up like a B&B.

Beautiful hotel with incredible staff

This stay completely exceeded my expectations - the entire space is lovely, welcoming and unique, and both the owner and the young people at the front desk went above and beyond to make me feel welcome in both the city and the hotel. I've never had such a helpful run-through of the neighborhoods, places and paths to visit in a city, it enchanted my whole visit. The room itself was lovely - soft linens, window out on a charming street, sweet-smelling soaps - and the individually served breakfast was a really special way to start the day. I can't say enough good things about my experience here! I hope I can return with my partner since I think it would be wonderful for a couple's trip as well.

Nice hotel with accesibility issues

The hotel is fine, honestly. The issue for us was it was very uncomfortable to access and would definitely not recommend for someone with limited mobility. We had large suitcases with us and was very difficult to access, due to 2 very large and heavy doors, steps, stairs and a tiny elevator. Other than the access issues, the hotel is nice and clean and the room was nice.

Not understanding at all and quite unfair .

My girlfriend and I were stranded in Rennes on the day of our departure to Lyon as all trains , flights and buses were fully booked we contacted the hotel to ask if our booking could be moved forward or if we could be refunded, we were flatly refused and given no alternative or helpful solution to our problem and were simply told that it was not their problem and we would have to lose our money and booking with zero refund or alternative . We had to pay for a new booking in Rennes for the two days we were stranded and lost our original booking . We were left feeling grossly mistreated and obviously upset as this was no fault of ours to be in this predicament in the first place as we really were looking forward to our time in Lyons and our stay in the hotel .

Wonderful small hotel

This is just a little gem of a place. The hosts and staff could not be more welcoming or helpful. They provided us with extensive information on exploring the city and recommended great places to eat. Breakfast was of excellent quality and generous for a very reasonable price. We never managed to eat it all. Each morning they offered us some tin foil so we could wrap up the rest to eat later. The rooms were small but nicely arranged with good storage and charging areas for technology. The Shower was great with plenty of hot water. It was in a lovely old building with huge windows which opened and we slept with the window open most nights. The area was ideal. Easy walking to most places and close to the metro when we were going further afield. There was a nice store next door with fresh fruit displayed outside. It was hard to resist so we didn't.

This is not a typical hotel. It appears to be a former residence or office that was converted into a hotel after the fact, and it is only on one floor of a five- or six-story building. Our room was clean and somewhat small, and the bathroom was new and relatively spacious for France. Our bed was really comfortable. The couple who runs the hotel is very pleasant and accommodating. You have to order breakfast in advance, which we forgot to do a few times, but it's delicious and well worth the price. There's not a lot to see or do in the immediate vicinity and the neighborhood is quiet. We walk everywhere we can, and It was about a 10 or 15 minute walk to Vieux Lyon, and about 10 mins to Place Bellecour. A grocery store and bakery are right next door - perfect when we wanted a midday pastry or some fruit, or we needed baby wipes.

We love hotels like this one. It was a little different, not cookie-cutter, charming without being \"charming.\"

We’ve stayed here before, and returned because of how friendly and helpful the owners are. They can communicate in several languages and help you with your French. Hotel is well located for walking, transit and Perrache train station. Rooms are clean, tidy and comfortable if a little small. Entry is a little confusing at first; it is on second floor above shared foyer with other apartments, accessible at street by intercom/passcode pad and an interior door by second intercom. This is good from security standpoint.

Everything works, baths are modern, but it is an old building with some quirks or charm, depending on how you see it. If you need sleek accommodations with all the bells and whistles, you should look elsewhere; if you like pleasant, helpful service, easy access to central Lyon in an actual neighborhood, give it a shot. We’d go back.

Better disclosure would help!

While the reviews about the hotel were almost unanimously positive they generally failed to mention that the hotel has no parking, is on the second floor with no elevators and is not air conditioned. When we arrived my wife was actually not even able to figure how to enter the building. We had driven from Torino, Italy and had a car full of luggage. The nearest parking was 7 blocks away at a cost of Euro 31/day. Since we were traveling in the summer, the temp in Lyon that day was 36C and our room had only two windows facing east, overlooking the street and 2 oscillating fans. Needless to say the night was uncomfortable. On the positive side the staff were extremely helpful providing lots of information on things to do, where to eat, etc. They were clearly the highlight of the stay.
Net, a good choice for light travelers outside of the summer heat.

Nice hotel, somewhat overpriced

Getting into the hotel was a problem. Access is through a keypad inside the main door to the building and the Hotel is on the 2nd floor (ground floor is 0). We repeatedly tried to get access following the directions provided, but there was no response. Finally, another guest entered and we were able to get in. The hotel is very pleasant and the one-person reception/management was extremely helpful and personable. The room was clean and pleasant, but we were told not to open the window so that noise would be kept to a minimum. That meant no control over room temperature. The room was adequate, but small. After currency exchange, the room was $170 CAD and that seemed somewhat high for what we got. The location was within walking distance of the old part of the city, but it was a significant walk. All said, we would stay there again, other than the price.

A 2 Star that Deserves More

With only 11 rooms, Hotel Vaubecour is very much a family operation. Access to the hotel wasn't complicated but you have to contact the owner if he doesn't hear the doorbell and the hotel is on the third floor of a residential block. There is a lift. The room was simple but very clean and tidy with a modern bathroom. Breakfast was simple - baguette, croissant, juice and yoghurt and served in a very pleasant room.

Fantastic Boutique Hotel

The hotel was in a very convenient location to all the main attractions. When arrived was given map by very helpful owners and the main tourist attractions were highlighted and was advised about where to visit and where not to eat if wanted traditional Lyonisse food. Room was big enough for 2, had beautiful tradional features and a lovely old fashioned fireplace. Bathroom was clean and modern with walkin shower. Overall one of the nicest hotels I have ever stopped in and would recommend it to anyone.

Adequate for a solo traveller.

Allocated a small single room...noisy as it was situated directly at reception.

Authentic old Lyon hotel.

The couple who owns the hotel is very nice. Breakfast was very fresh. We loved that they kept the character of the old building when they remodeled the floor for the hotel. location is excellent, right in the heart of the old part of town and near the metro and train.

Excelent small hotel

Very welcoming owners. A small but comfortable room. Very French! And very reasonable price. Location is ideal, away from the busy tourist areas, yet accessible to everything.

Don't go if you want all the big corporate hotel facilities. This is a small family run hotel and much the better for that.

We really shouldn't be telling everybody about this gem! We will be going back.

A Lyon gem!

Great location, just steps from Saone. Tastefully decorated rooms and very clean throughout. Owners are wonderful -- very accommodating with requests and info about what to see and do, restaurants, transportation, etc. Our Lyon experience was enhanced by staying here.

Very good choice for a room in cetnter Lyon

For a room only this hotel was a very good choice. There is a near by local brasserie.
Parking is not east too. But the room was clean and comfort and the owners are a very nice couple.
