Reviews and Ratings
I had a great stay at this hotel. The room, although the view was partly obscured by trees, was spacious with large windows facing the Rhone River, providing a comfy and quiet '80s atmosphere. The service was top-notch, especially during the renovation period, with helpful staff assisting with local recommendations and even making reservations at my next hotels. The location was ideal, right at the heart of Bellecour in Lyon near the river and nightlife. The dining, offering typical 'French' fare, was satisfying and reasonably priced. Overall, a pleasant experience with excellent value for money.
The Grand Hotel Boscolo has its highs and lows. The rooms were large but quite old yet very clean, and the staff was fantastic and helpful. However, the size of the suite was surprising and smaller than expected. Service was a mix of kind and courteous interactions but with a rude incidence, although they were apologetic later on. The location is the hotel's strong suit, being well-placed for exploring the city. Dining options ranged from adequate to very nice, with friendly staff available. The facilities offered were decent, though nothing extraordinary.
The hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were clean but small and basic, with a not-so-great view. The service was friendly and helpful, especially during a chaotic day. The location was very convenient, close to major sites and dining options. The dining experience was below average with limited food choices.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was fantastic, near the lively Place Bellecour and convenient for exploring the old town and reaching Part Dieu station. The room, although a bit small and lacking a clear view due to the leafy trees, was larger than expected for the price. The service was efficient and functional, with some renovation work ongoing. The dining experience was typical but lacked variety, and the facility may need updates. Overall, a decent stay with good value for money.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to have a convenient location, very friendly service, and a country kitchen themed room. However, the dining experience was quite poor with limited food options and high prices.
The hotel's rooms were clean but small and old, with tired bed linens and a lumpy uncomfortable bed. However, it was in decent shape and could have used an upgrade for a special birthday celebration. The service was very helpful and friendly, particularly the bar staff, making my stay enjoyable. The location couldn't be better, being a 2-minute walk from the center and within walking distance of major sites. The dining experience was above average, offering a nice variety of continental breakfast options. Overall, the hotel provided a decent experience with some room for improvement.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and light-filled suite, although the outdated decor was a downside. The service, especially from the bar staff, was friendly and attentive. The central location near Place Bellecour made exploring the city a breeze, but some areas seemed in need of improvement.
The hotel is in a perfect location, close to the river and numerous restaurants within easy walking distance. The rooms, although spotlessly clean, are small and claustrophobic for some, yet provide a cozy retreat after a hot day out. The staff is a mixed bag, with some being very friendly and helpful, especially during challenging situations like the floods in Lyon and the Var region.
The hotel has a nostalgic '80s atmosphere, with perfectly comfortable and quiet rooms at a three-star level. Unfortunately, breakfast is not included.
I am thrilled with my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. Although the service was a bit shaky in terms of knowledge, the friendliness made up for it. The location is superb, putting me in the heart of the action. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a good variety of options. I was delighted with the facilities, especially the convenient amenities provided.
