Very pleasant mid range hotel, absolutely ideal for a reasonably priced hotel slightly away from the centre but well connected by foot, tram and metro.

My sons and I stayed for one night at the hotel Charlemagne so we could experience the city and the food culture it provided. We enjoyed the air conditioning the hotel had to offer in the rooms AAA we happened to hit a warm spell at the time of our visit. The lobby is fine, the elevators smaller than one might expect at a 4 star hotel, but all in all the photos of the facility are fairly accurate. It is a nice place to stay for the money you pay.

The Hotel was fabulous, clean and easy to reach. We loved our room with a great view, a hot bath and a strong WIFI signal. And what made the hotel even more special was the ladies at the reception: warm, kind, welcoming and helpful. Thanks Hotel Charlemagne by Happy Culture for a great stay in splendid Lyon.

Well located hotel right next to Perrache train station so very convenient. There is a great bakery across the street for breakfast if you do not want the hotel buffet.

While a little "worn around the edges", this hotel is very pleasant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Bed comfort is very good. We discovered a good bistro down the road - the midi-minuit - which actually closes at 10:30 (bizarre given the name). Looked at Georges bistro but was overcrowded and too noisy. If you arrive late, parking is free in the street.

My wife and I went for 2 nights and had an excellent experience. The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable bed. It was minutes away from the train station Lyon Perrache, 10 min from the confluence and 40min walk to Old Lyon. Would definitely recommend.

Hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was very complete, with everything you could want to eat. There were lots of common spaces in the building with different functions, that gave a resort feel to the hotel.
