OKKO Hotels Lyon Centre

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!

Awesome hotel. Air conditioning worked well which was needed with the heat in June. We had a balcony room and it was absolutely stunning. Free snacks and drinks a real bonus. Late check out was great! Bed was super comfortable and the linen was nice. Staff were lovely. Fantastic location. 10/10

This hotel is fantastic. Air conditioning was great and was needed as was >30 degrees outside. Location is good - walkable to Lyon Part Dieu and to the old town + all the trendy areas. Lovely spot on the river. Bed was super comfortable and snacking service was appreciated and a nice touch. Highly recommend the balcony room for views over the river.

We stayed 5 nights in This hotel. Central location is very convenient and homely. Snacking service was nice touch: tea, juice, cookies around the clock. Working distance to interesting places in central Lyon. Rooms are small but comfortable, balcony with the river view is very nice. Prices are dynamic and change wildly from day to day (during our stay prices change 2x in some days). We bought in advance and average price was very reasonable.

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!

Much to praise about this hotel: centrally located and within walking distance of good transport links, monuments and excellent places to eat.||Hotel itself is located in the old préfecture so lovely building. Room a very good size, comfortable bed and clean. Bathroom a bit on the small side but adequate and clean.||Public areas very nice with access to water fountains. Twenty-four hour access to coffee/tea making facilities and water as well as light snacks.||Staff very helpful both at reception and in the breakfast bar.

I really wanted to like this hotel, especially after staying at another OKKO in Paris. My overall experience at the other was much better. First, both me and my partner awoke the morning of our second night covered in itchy bites, and although the hotel didn't find any blood they were almost certainly bed bugs. While the hotel offered to move our room, both the room we moved from and the new one had significant black mold in the bathroom. The room otherwise is great, and the lounge area with complimentary snacks and water is lovely. Unfortunately there isn't a mini fridge in the room. If you get a more typical experience this is a decent value option, but the attempts to gaslight us about our miserable bite experience was disappointing from a chain posing as a luxury brand. Never was any form of compensation even suggested by the hotel.

An incredible location, right on the Lafayette bridge which connects each of the city's sections, very walkable! We booked a second story balcony room, it had luxurious high ceilings with double french windows that actually open, which was great for the nights where A/C wasn't needed (the A/C worked great otherwise, and the windows are completely soundproof). The view from the balcony was amazing, overlooking the Rhone and the life below. I agree with other reviews that mention the bathrooms being less than ideal - they are clearly designed for form over function, with the shower leaking into the room and toilet/sink area. The club zone is pleasant, spacious, and it was nice to pop in for some fruit and cold water after a walk on a hot day.

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!
