Hotel Saint Vincent

Lovely quiet area within a few mins walk of the old town. Clean room with a very comfortable bed. Blackout electronic blinds kept the morning sun at bay. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel if you visit Lyon.

Lovely hotel in the quiet side of Lyon , yet with quick access to the centre. Super warm and welcoming staff! The room was cleaned every day during our stay, theres heating in the room and hot water. We loved everything about this hotel!

Had reserved this hotel while still in the US. Needless to say it was a beautiful find. It’s so quaint and pretty. Love the staircase. People at the desk are very kind and helpful. They even recommended a restaurant nearby called Le Bouchon des Filles and my daughter and I loved it! The room was very clean, nice and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. We had to walk only one flight up which was perfect and the gentleman at the desk even carried up our suitcases. The location is great and saw a beautiful trompe l’œil around the corner from the hotel. If you like to be away from the busy areas this is the place. You won’t regret it. C’était impeccable! Un gros merci pour l’accueil chaleureux !

This hotel has fabulous ambience and does not have the feel of a bland and conventional hotel. Beautiful stone walls ands large airy rooms. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms are very clean and roomy. Easy to get around from here and see the sights. Lots of bars and bistros nearby.

Nice, functional room in a beautiful old Lyonnais building. The location is perfect for accessing the many things the town centre has to offer. We didn't try the breakfast.

This hotel is incredibly expensive bearing in mind the complete lack of facilities. Tiny room with no coffee/tea, water , terrible WiFi, curtains that don’t fit the window so the light floods in at sunrise. Every sound from the room above is heard. One of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever seen served on very cheap garden furniture. We only saw 2 staff. Possibly the only hotel I’ve visited with no lift…it really gave the impression of a seriously failing hotel. Would not go back.

Clean, no frills. The breakfast is not worth it. The bed is comfy and there are room darkening blinds. You will have to request the air be turned on every evening when you return to your room.

We stayed for two nights and had no issues at all. The staff were friendly, they helped us with storing our luggage after check-out. It is located in the best part of the town, next to the river. Highly recommend.

If you've ever visited Lyon then you probably noticed a serious lack of good, affordable hotels in the city. On a recent trip I called over a dozen hotels and they were all full on a Wed night! A little birdie at the tourist office told me that the city is working on amping up the hotel offerings over the coming years, but in the meantime, the pickings are slim. Which leads me to Hotel Saint Vincent.... I was directed there by someone at one of the hotels that was full. They had a double room at 72E and I snatched it up. The location was perfect for me as I had a soirée down the road to attend and knowing little about the city was thankful that it was just a 5 minute walk away. So, herewith the pros and cons of my stay: Pros: +Conveniently located in La Croix-Rousse, an adorable, neighborhood full of vintage shops, independent designer ateliers, cafés, restaurants and bars and just a 5 min walk over the bridge to Vieux Lyon. +The hotel itself is located in a 7th century building with heavy stone walls and vaulted ceilings +The entrance is nice and welcoming +The staff is friendly and eager to please. The man at the welcome desk tried as hard as he could to make sure my WiFi work. It wound up working in the entrance, but once I got to my room it stopped and there was nothing I could do to get it going again (see below for why..) +The rooms are clean +The shower had good pressure. Cons: +The 7th century heavy stone structure makes WiFI virtually impossible in the rooms since the signal doesn't pass through the walls. +The rooms are super small and extremely minimal. Bed, chair, table, and portable hanging rack. That's all. No charm or romance here. +The floors in the hallway aren't carpeted so you can hear everyone stomping around early in the morning. So, what's the verdict? Unless you have no better options, give the hotel a shot. They're also doing some renovations so things could be on the up and up.
