Close to the old town with old town charm.
Pros:

It was a very spacious room, stayed cool during a small heatwave of >33C .

Cons:

It was OK for me but people with mobility issues need to know that the elevator does not go to the ground so stairs are required.

Struttura un po’ troppo vecchia, ingresso di un condominio molto brutto e scomodo senza ascensore, colazione tanta scelt
Pros:

Il letto

Cons:

Aria condizionata perdeva acqua, tante cose rotte (interruttori, rubinetti ecc) parcheggio vicino ma poco comodo, sulla scheda dell’hotel segnalano parcheggio della struttura cosa che non è vera,

Pros:

I liked the location and the building. The room was very clean.

Cons:

The room was extremely small. We were deceived by the pictures. On the first night we were feeling very cold and they said the heating was not working because we were off season. Also, the room didn’t have a TV and we asked if they had anything we could use to watch a final, they gave us an iPad and said it was out of battery. The mattress felt very old.

Slightly disappointing
Pros:

Location was good but it's misleading to say the hotel has parking, it is actually a public underground car park and there really isn't anywhere to stop in front of the hotel.

Cons:

The shower arrangement doesn't work ...an incomplete curtain around a free-standing bath is always problematic.
Absence of air-conditioning even though it was over 30 degrees - we were told they don't switch in on in April because it's unnecessary. It was like sleeping in an oven

Location is its best attribute
Pros:

Little boutique hotel with personality. Staff very professional.

Cons:

Steep stairs, no help with luggage; the rooms can be quite small.
Most rooms only have bathtubs right next to the bed rather difficult for those physically impaired.

Fabulous two night stay in a lovely hotel in a lovely city.
Pros:

Bayard Bellecour hotel was an absolute delight. The staff were super friendly and helpful; the location is amazing with the metro just yards away, bars and restaurants close by and the main stop for the City Tour bus across the square. Breakfast was first class with homemade yoghurts and cakes, as well as a wide selection of cereals, fruit and pastries. The decor is gorgeous with great attention to detail- I would most definitely stay at this hotel again.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Herrliches Frühstück in einem Jugendstil-Raum. Es gab alles, was ein gutes Frühstück ausmacht.
Die Dame am Empfang war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Wer Atmosphäre und Stil schätzt, ist hier genau richtig.

Expérience unique !
Pros:

Chambre en duplex avec vue sur la place Bellecour et Fourvière dans un style vintage réalisé dans les moindres détails. La décoration est exceptionnelle dans tout l’hôtel et en particulier dans la salle du petit déjeuner. Personnel aux petits soins ! Situation parfaite !
