Staff was great, location, fabulous! MOD went out of his way to accommodate our reservation, where I thought I had booked two twin beds when booking for a \"double\". I was traveling with a friend, it was late when we arrived. He personally went upstairs and split the two beds, remaking them with correct sheets/bedding. Above and beyond with a smile on his face! Wish I could remember his name for a personal shout out... Highly recommend!

The staff was lovely and responsive. There were issues with room cleanliness when I arrived (personal items from a previous guest in the bedding). The elevator was under repair for the first couple of days of my trip.
The location is very central and the breakfast and refreshments available in the lobby were appreciated.
I enjoyed my stay much more once the room was cleaned properly and the elevator was functional.
Note: Soundproofing is minimal and noise from other guests and staff can be disruptive.

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were friendly and excellent. We really appreciated the drinks that were available in the lobby even before and after we had checked out on the first and last days. A lovely, generous touch. Our room was gorgeous.

Only two issues. The area was noisy at night with the nightlife and the access by car was impossible. We had hired a car, but took it back to the hirers for the last two days of our holiday in Lyon as the peninsular in the centre of the city where the hotel is, is in the process of being pedestrianised. Road closures made it impossible to get to the hotel by car. We ended up parking about 10 minutes walk away to drop of our luggage and took the car back to the airport and returned it two days early. We had been planning to do this after we had dropped the luggage off, but it was quite stressful driving round the centre of Lyon for about half an hour before we discovered that it was impossible to drive to the hotel.

The hotel is very nice. It is well decorated, super well located, and it has a very nice vibe to it.

The building is old, so there are a few things you should take into account: the elevator is small and slow, and halls are small and a bit inconvenient. But the rooms are big and well furnished, very clean, and very nice. The bathroom in my room was very spacey, and well equipped. The room itself had a balcony with a great view of the city, and very good heating.

Breakfast was not outstanding, but it was more than good.

Finally I should point out that the location is perfect, and very comfortable to walk or take public transport anywhere in the city. It is especially close to the old Lyon, which is great if you are visiting for tourism.

In terms of parking, there is a parking garage right across the street from the hotel but I read it had bad reviews, so I used another by accident the river that was like 4 blocks away, but still very convenient. Parking an suv was not a problem there, although it was very expensive (this has nothing to do with the hotel of course, just a tip for others who might be looking into it).

The bottom line is that the hotel was great and I would go back next time I’m in the city.

It's a cute boutique hotel right in the centre. But why does it have four stars?

Positives - super central location, unlimited coffee and water, friendly girls at the reception.

Minuses - the hotel is really tiny, there is no bar or any facilities rather than two couches at the reception. The room is big but very dark! No fridge. We couldn't sleep because the neighbours went to the corridor at 12am and decided to shout. And the next day the building works started at 7 am.

Know your right when you book a room

I was given a lousy room with horrible cracked ceilings on the first night and without lifts access. It was not according to the room type I booked.
It was changed after my complaint and the problem was then resolved. However, I paid for a losy room for the first night despite of getting the correct room I booked and also with the trouble of the need to change room.

Great central location for a short stay.

The Silky Hotel had friendly, helpful front desk staff! Our room was very clean and quite large by European standards, with king sized bed, a large bathroom, and tiny little balcony with two small chairs, overlooking the street front. However, for a large room, it had no dresser or other piece of furniture to put your things down. There was only a small desk by the door, and much of the desk space was taken up by the coffee machine set-up. So the room was too sparse and the space needed more furniture. For this reason it would not be comfortable for more than a night or two.
Also, although the rooms are updated, the stairwells and corridors are dark and dingy, with old stained carpeting. This area really needs updating! Breakfast was in the basement level because there is no room in the tiny lobby. I did not like the breakfast space and the food was just passable. Overall I would recommend hotel for a very short stay in a central location.

Location is the main draw of this hotel.
Close to Cordeliers metro. Walkable to a fun area where there are multiple restaurants open even on a Sunday. Two restaurants next to the hotel and many options around the corner for pizza and pasta. Lots of shopping nearby. Two churches less than 10 min away and Old Town less than 15 min walking.

Breakfast is at an extra cost, but worth it depending on how much time you need to walk around. Lyon is huge!

The hotel is older and it shows.

This hotel was great for me as a solo traveler - it’s in a safe area, the room was clean and I was impressed by the double windows that blocked out street noise. It’s right in the heart of a ton of shopping and restaurants. The only con was the shower- I barely fit in it and I’m a smaller woman, and the doors didn’t shut properly so the water got in the floor. If you can look past that it’s a good room.

Good location, small French hotel.

The hotel was situated very central in old town of Lyon, very close to many restaurants, sights, and tours.

Rooms were snug, couple of the floors did not have elevator access. The bath towels were pretty low quality, might be our only complaint. AC worked really well so that’s a huge plus in France.

Have to get your own water from the main floor, hopefully they have caps for the bottles as they did not when we stayed here.

It is great in terms of location and accessibility from the airport. The actual hotel relies on a very tiny elevator so if you have a lot of bags and/or people it’s very difficult. We also had to move rooms because of a very loud leaking pipe. The hotel itself is nice in the lobby but the rest informs you that it’s very old and hasn’t been looked after. My partner accidentally stepped on a mouse which then scurried into a hole into the wall as we walked up the stairs.
