We ran into the hotel owners who are actually on-site and working there. In addition to running a first-class operation, they have created a unique artistic/design atmosphere that can be experienced throughout the hotel. The large, main area upon entry is a combined leisure space and breakfast room/bar. The design of the space is beautiful, fun, extremely comfortable and filled with interesting obje d'art collected by the owners at flea markets etc. We will return to Lyon if for no other reason than to spend a few more nights at Hotel Verdun. You can't have a better hotel experience than this.

We have enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. It’s a lovely property and very walkable to so many points of interest. We were actually scheduled to check out this morning but my husband threw his back out just as we were about to leave. The staff and the owner have been so helpful and so kind. The staff told me where to find the closest pharmacy and the owner sent a plate of food up for my husband and provided a bag of ice, which was a huge help. In addition to that they are keeping our room available to us for as long as we need to stay. I feel very supported by them. Not only is it a lovely hotel but the owners and the people who work here are the nicest people! I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely plan to stay again if we are fortunate enough to visit Lyon in the future.

Excellent service by entire staff

I was led in the booking the hotel by the reviews of others and I was NOT disaapointed. The welcome was warm from when we checked in to checking out. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was tastefully designed and decorated and very comfortable. Great selection for breakfast to start the day. Amazing location. Quiet but within walking distance of the citys attractions. So much to see and do. Highly commend to others.

The hotel is charming. The hotel staff is incredibly helpful. We had a nice hotel room and bathroom larger than standard European sizes. We enjoyed a 20 minute walk to see the river & had a large choice of restaurants to eat at. I highly recommend this location.

Excellent location near the train station and walkable to the river and restaurants

Cool lobby, very helpful staff, comfortable room in a convenient location near lots of good restaurants.

Nice hotel and loved the decor of the room we stayed in. Close to the train station and walking distance to the town centre. A very pleasant stay.

Most helpful staff ever, quiet and good sized room, well maintained, very near Gare Perrache, so good Public transportation. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Comfy bed Quality of materials Nice breakfast Central location Bad sound isolation in hotel Lift not going to all floors Reception is small

The owners and the staff were very nice and helpfull

Lovely staff and excellent location

Wifi was difficult to access and absent for a period

OMG! The owners of this hotel are so amazing! Genuinely interested in making sure you are comfortable and giving you advice on sights to see! We and our daughter enjoyed their advice and we were very pleased with the breakfast; only one or two blocks from Gare du Perrache; and only two blocks from Metro station. I was surprised as to how quiet it was being we were near the train station. Thank you again for your generosity!

Although I got well lost in finding hotel!my fault entirely, due to my inability to pay any attention to maps! The hotel is located 4/5min from bus/train station! but you need to take a little time and get the correct route! lovely warm welcome at reception, fantastic check in,room all I needed!gd breakfast,all you can eat and drink!I would have no problems booking again Thank you,

Nice and attentive staff. Rooms have very thin walls. Your nights can be great or not so great depending on your neighbors.

The hotel is in a superb location just a few minutes walk from Perrache station and Metro. Particularly well located for Christmas market at Place Carnot and two Metro stops from the area where the Festival of Lights was commencing. The hotel itself is quite old and a little tired but plenty clean and comfy, however it doesn’t have a bar or restaurant. Not a major problem as there are numerous others a few minutes walk away. All in all, not luxurious but great location for a weekend break and very friendly, helpful staff.

Booked 2 rooms. Excellent in all, except the double room had an extremely small bathroom and using WC was awkward to say the least. Otherwise very nice, friendly and helpful staff and Gilles the Directeur when out of his way to help. Hotel very close to all areas of interest

New owners where extremely helpful and kind. Gilles and Christophe were very helpful in recommending where to go and eat. Very close to the Gare du Perrache, safe area and easy to use the metro. Only negative was no A/C and with temps in the upper 80’s F it was hot. But was provided a fan when I asked. Would stay here again.

This hotel is in good condition and is in a good location. But, it isn't air conditioned (and Lyon gets pretty warm) AARP/Expedia fails to mention that and access to the lobby requires the front desk staff to buzz you in - 24 hours a day (there are 4 hotels in that block and the front doors of the other 3 are open most of the time). The hotel is around the corner from the Gare de Lyon-Perrache - about a 5-minute walk. Use Google Maps with caution - it directed me to walk in the exact opposite direction (I experienced that fairly often on this trip). The neighborhood is nice - many restaurants and coffee places, nice park just up the street - though, like most of France, very quiet on Sundays. There is a Metro station about 2 blocks away - public transit in Lyon is good.
