The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which is a positive thing, as our room was definitely in need of an update. Unfortunately, the sink drained extremely slowly, and the room had an unpleasant smell, as did several other areas of the hotel. The breakfast, however, was excellent, with a wide variety of tasty options to choose from.

Air condition did not work .would not move me to anouther room when requested .safe is not secured to anything and was not usable because it had a key that would not work and key buttons that would not work . No ice for drinks . Ice machine broken .when we left yup elevator was not working . Nice location for transit but anywhere in town would be good for transit anyway .

Most staff was pleasant and helpful. One overnight fellow seemed poorly trained. Breakfast coffee had 2 machines which didn't keep anyone waiting. Juice machines and egg situation was good. A little disappointed with pastries and fresh fruit. Breakfast area, along with hallways and room were somewhat tired, but clean.

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.

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.
