OKKO Hotels Lyon Centre

Located on the river Rhone side, this hotel a five minute leisurely walk to the other side of the river where you will find plenty of fashion shops and places to eat. Walk across the river Saone and you will find many places to eat & drink. The hotel location is excellent if you want to stay away from the bustling streets across the river but close enough that it is only a short walk. The hotel offers a club service completely free of charge wheee you can have various teas and coffees, pastries and savoury snacks 24 hours a day. For €20 a day you can make use of the buffet breakfast which serves both continental and English breakfast. The decor on the ground floor as you pass reception provides a relaxing mood with plenty of seating. The hotel has a gym which consists of free weights, a running, cycling & step machine, mats and kettle bells. The staff are excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel and if we were to visit Lyon again, this hotel would be our base. Thanking all the staff for a wonderful stay.

If you are looking for the best hotel in Lyon bang for buck, look no more. As a frequent business traveller, I rarely write reviews. But when a hotel stands out as much as this one, I feel a personal obligation to do so. Throughout my stay, the service was exceptional. To give you an idea, I got to the breakfast buffet at 10h10a.m. and it was closing at 10 precisely, instead of telling me the buffet was closed they let me stay and the person taking care of the buffet there asked me if they could make me extra scrambled eggs because there were none left. There were many other examples of this kind of courtesy that was extended to me during my stay, more in line with a 5-star hotel like the Ritz than what I'd expect at this price range. The rooms were modern, quiet, and the bed sheets very comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to any traveller (tourist or for business) as it has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Absolutely excellent staff. Everyone was extremely helpful when checking in/out, when serving drinks or snacks, and when booking a table at a restaurant for us upon request.||Great location, very comfy bed. Breakfast was delicious, plentiful and offered a good variety of options - fruits, eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, cereals, pastries, tea, coffee, juice. There were also snacks available in the kitchen throughout the day if needed. The free snacks in the bar along with a good glass of wine was a lovely way to start each evening. ||Only two small downsides. The shower cubicles would leak water on the bathroom floor, so we needed to use a spare towel in addition to the bath mat. And it would’ve helped if there were some additional coat hooks around the room for towels, jackets etc. But only two very minor things in an otherwise excellent stay.

This was my first time at OKKO hotels and first time in Lyon, where I attended a Congress. Travelling for yearly international Conferences, means the quality of service provided by the accommodation's staff is of upmost importance, naturally in addition, to value for money, quality of accommodation, presentation, cleanliness etc.||A staff member Lilou went above and beyond her role. Her approach was impeccable and exceeded our expectations. She was extremely welcoming, approachable, and warm, knowledgeable, patient, and truly efficient. She made a good stay a truly memorable one. ||I am giving the highest rating of this property to the service provided by Lilou.||||

We had an awesome experience here! The location is awesome — walkable to many parts of Lyon and immediately on the riverside. We had a fourth floor room overlooking the city which provided a great view. The staff was also accommodating and helpful. The rooms are on the smaller size but overall the hotel offers great value. We’d absolutely stay again!

All the staff members with whom we interacted, from the check in with Nelly and Amélie, to Nelly keeping our bags for us after we checked out, were great. They explained the hotel's facilities, and understood what visitors might want to visit in the area. The hotel was an oasis of calm in a heatwave, both the club area and the lovely quiet bedroom. We will happily recommend the hotel to any British friends travelling to Lyon.

I was there for 5 nights first bathroom is awful bottom of bathroom not sealed so after used of shower we had lake! After changed my room this problem continued! Second my first room was be two section separated by wall in section which is had bed really was dark just two very weak light installed but after changed my room except bathroom shape of there completely different! And so better than previous room one of reception had so helpfully and kindly characters but just one! Breakfast just ok but in two last night scramble eggs eliminated from very limited breakfast location is perfect and security so good but I never to advise for stay there due to bathroom problems

Fantastic stay in this wonderful hotel. Theres nothing more i can say but be v impressed by this hotel. Everything is top. Great location, wonderfully friendly staff and a clear eye for detail from the design of the room to the well stocked pantry. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we checked in and this a great example of how far customer service can bring you. My sincere compliments to the Management and service staff of the hotel, you have a lifelong customer here. A job well done!

I stayed at this hotel during my first business trip to Lyon, France. I really like the beds in this hotel, they are very soft and comfortable.

Very well located hotel, easy to use public transport from the hotel and many places on foot. Friendly English-speaking staff. A little disappointed nevertheless by the room which is small and moderately equipped. But the general atmosphere of the hotel is good and the breakfast very complete.

This was my first time staying at an Okko property, and I would definitely say that their model of not being a "traditional" hotel rings true. When you walk into the lobby, there is a feeling of pleasant minimalism. Instead of a large lobby desk, there is a single station for one-on-one service, which was fine during my stay because there were never long lines. Walk through the lobby and you are in "The Club," which is part library, part lounge, part wine and meal bar, part business center. I used it to print some documents before a meeting, as well as to grab breakfast. On that note, the breakfast is more ample than you might find at other places in France in general. The Club also has a happy hour sort of thing, and your first glass of wine is on the house--very nice touch. As for my room itself, it was actually larger than some other European hotel rooms I've had. Things are laid out well, which is important in a small space, especially the bathroom (which is actually rather small). As opposed to a regular closet, there is a little wardrobe rack with hangers. This was totally fine for me. There are ample power outlets throughout the room, although note that there are no provided non-Euro plugs, so be sure to have your adapter (they may have them at the front desk, but I didn't ask since I had my own). I really enjoyed the balcony in my room, which let in a nice river breeze. Depending on which way your room is facing, you might have a view straight out to the Rhone. I found the location to be convenient, although getting a taxi from here is the struggggle bus. I ended up waiting nearly 20 minutes for an Uber as no taxis were passing by during rush hour in the morning. The hotel staff were friendly and useful. As an aside, everyone speaks English, although I always recommend using the local language as much as possible. Altogether, this was a pleasant hotel experience. My one ding is that the hot water, particularly in the bathroom sink, may be hit or miss. It absolutely would not get hot yesterday in the early morning. Other than that, solid experience!

Our stay was a brief chance to rest up from our river cruise. I loved the modern decor and the chic vibe that this hotel displays. Our room was big and still cozy with a corner view overlooking the river. The breakfast was full of a wide array of selections to tempt just about everyone. The afternoon buffet laid out for hotel guests was wonderful and well worth it. The hotel staff was very helpful. My only negative during the stay was the hotel location. It is located next to the Rhone river across from the heart of the city. In the summer heat, it was quite a trek to get to Bellecour Square with the main tourist center and all of the shopping. If this hotel could be relocated to the center of the city, it would just be perfect. The Okko is a very fine hotel with so much going for it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

Trendy all inclusive hotel and decent price for the location and the view don't believe me..look down below...at the pic ok!! Got an upgrade from the front desk guy. RM 503 that's the room to be

Our first time in Lyon and at an OKKO hotel. Pleasantly surprised by our hotel choice. Really great in many ways (see below) aND their few negatives are manageable issues. Pros: 1. Gorgeous modern trendy hotel. 2. Brand new. 3. Amazing Exec lounge for all guests. 4. Exec lounge has fantastic food (we ended up eating a full dinner in the lounge). Also a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks. All included in room rate! 5. Free movies in your room! 6. Beautiful architectural rooms. 7. Great central location and right in the water. 8. Staff is very friendly and helpful. 9. Great quality and nice smelling bath amenities. 10. Great quality foods, drinks, and snacks in Exec lounge. Cons: 1. No pool. 2. Brand new so they haven't acquired a liquor license yet to offer wine/beer in the lounge. 3. Small rooms. 4. Traditional room doesn't have actual closet. Overall, I would stay here again. No question.

Great hotel. Spacious clean room. Nice decor. They have evening happy hour with one free drink. Breakfast is always a pleasant surprise. Very friendly service! Stayed here few times and have been always satisfied.

Great room, amazing living room feel in the common area of the hotel, free snacks, hot drinks and soft drinks all day and a free tapas buffet in the evening - very nice! We never had this in amy hotel so far. Breakfast also offers all you can wish for. Location is great to stroll through the city and also possible to walk to/from the train station.

We chose this property because of the location. The room is fine - the relaxing and welcoming attitude is wonderful. We are very comfortable In this hotel. The idea of treating it like home works. They have a nice kitchen with bread, cheese, etc available in the evening. The staff is very helpful. A shout out to Hugo who helped with check-in and also recommended stopping at the barge down at the river.

We were so impressed with our stay at the Okko Lyon Lafayette...so much good stuff to say about this place! First, the location across from the river is perfect. The facilities were great (the hotel is nearly brand new) and our room was spacious and clean. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. As others have noted, they have a really nice kitchen space located off the lobby that is stocked with free beverages. And, to top it all off the room rate was really competitive. No question about it, we'll absolutely stay here the next time we come to Lyon!

Kind of like a W hotel in the US. Modern design for the rooms and the lobby/club. The biggest advantage of the chain is that they include things like breakfast, light dinnertime mini-meal, and a free drink per night. They also have a fridge with free sodas and water available 24/7. The rooms are mid-range, and clean. The front desk was minimalist in design, but the staff were courteous, helpful, and spoke excellent English. They also performed all front desk tasks you would expect. My only comment is the bathroom is more of a booth than a separate room, but a minor quibble only.

The selfish part of me wants to write a review which trashes this hotel in hopes of helping insure it has availability during our next trip. Other reviewers summarize all its exceptional qualities. As a former hotel concierge, I can heartily confirm that it is first-choice for you. Don't overthink this -- just book!
