This stylish hotel is located in a modern and quiet neighborhood somewhat out of downtown Lyon. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are large and come with a good bed, large desk and a flat-screen TV. What irritates me a lot (and I usually don't watch TV at all in hotels) is when the TV takes 3-4 seconds to change channel, even when trying to run thru channels. Sometimes it's just due to the TV set, often because of the TV management system. What surprised me even more given that the (pricey) hotel is not old, is to see the bad shape of the (large) bathroom. Floor tiles are broken, the temperature of the shower keeps changing and some corners are not white anymore but brown/black. The carpet in my room also was in bad shape... Count 45-60EUR to get here from LYS airport.

Worth the experience! Car taken away and delivered back the following morning. Splendid accommodation and excellent location within the Cite Internationale. Dinner in the Hilton Brasserie only actenuated the overall experience - top class service and food. Will definitely visit again.

Positive: Very good location (a bit far from downtown but with good bus connection), Excellent service, friendly personnel, Nice and big rooms (some with view to the lake), very quiet, huge bathroom. Quality of breakfast food: excellent! Negative: No free internet connection, fee is overprized (starts with 10 euros/hr), no swimming pool (only jacuzzi and hamam for the owners of executive rooms). Most of the personnel speaks english but not everyone. Breakfast does not have big variety and is the same every day. Everything around the hotel's area (even the lounge bar) close after 11 pm (only choice after that hour is the casino bar - but it really sucks). Hotel does not accept prepaid cards (e.g. visa electron). I stayed for 5 nights at a special rate due to a conference attendance and was overall satisfied. However i consider the normal rates of the specific hilton hotel totally overprized for its facilities and services.
