What guests think

Across numerous reviews, Le Royal Hotel Lyon - MGallery Collection is praised for its central Place Bellecour location and warm, professional staff, while several guests note dated rooms and bathrooms that would benefit from renovation and occasional maintenance issues.

Breakfast is widely praised, with eggs made to order, and many enjoyed the on-site Bocuse Institute restaurant and the intimate bar. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few guests reported dirty vents, odors, stained carpets, or other signs of wear. Room size varies from compact to spacious suites; layouts can be awkward, with showers that splash water, occasional plumbing quirks, and a few rooms facing noise or weak air conditioning. Expect a charming, central stay with standout service and classic style, offset by aging room finishes.

I highly recommend this hotel! The staff are extremely polite and professional. The rooms and the entire hotel are very clean, stylish, and spacious. The location is perfect—right next to a popular square and within walking distance to everything. If you’re coming by car, there’s parking and valet service available, which is very convenient. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Lyon, don’t hesitate ,book this hotel!

Le camere che abbiamo prenotate erano ampie e con un letto fantastico. Il bagno di una era ampio, ben arredato e confortevole, il bagno dell'altra era vecchio e scomodo, privo di piani di appoggio. Il personale dell'albergo è stato tutto gentile e disponibile. Comodissimo il servizio di parcheggio auto che effettua direttamente il personale dell'albergo. La posizione dell'hotel è molto comoda per raggiungere varie vie interessanti ma fuori dal caso eccessivo. La colazione è ben curata e con prodotti di qualità, anche se pecca un po' in varietà.

My husband and I just spent eight nights in a suite overlooking the Place Bellecour. It was charming, spacious and well-appointed. The breakfast buffet, which included lots of local specialties, was wonderful, and the students from the Paul Bocuse cooking school took very good care of us. The front desk staff and the concierge were always helpful and friendly. We visited the bar for an after dinner drink on more than one occasion. We loved the red decor and the music from the 1960s and 1970s. The location on Place Bellecour, just steps from the tourist office, was extremely convenient. Overall, we had an excellent stay.

Staff all around was 5 stars. Great location! So much in walking distance including a bunch of restaurants 50 yards away. The only thing I would warn against is the room size. If youbare traveling alone great. It seems like a perfect place for businesses travelers. For couple I would look for a place with a bigger room. The bed is up against the wall so you have to climb over each other. The toilet and shower are right on top of each other, and the hand sink is in the room. There is no real separate "bathroom". But like like I said, great room for a single traveler!

Very nice hotel with a great location close to the old town and city center. The room was fine, but there was no door or screen for the shower in the bathroom, making it impossible to shower without getting the entire bathroom wet. The staff were really helpful and attentive. Breakfast offered a good selection of options, including eggs made to order. The staff in the breakfast room were friendly, but sometimes a little too eager to help — they should give guests a moment to settle in and consider their options.

The central location of the hotel is ideal for exploring Lyon. The staff is friendly and professional and the breakfast is superb! We asked the chef to prepare omelettes and they were cooked to absolute perfection. The hotel also houses the Bocuse Institute restaurant, staffed by students in both the front and back of house. Our three course meal was was sublime. There are students working in the kitchen who may earn their own Michelin star one day. The servers made a few mistakes with silverware placement and blanking on the ingredient list when serving the main course. In both cases a senior instructor jumped in to correct the student and fix the mistake. It was a great experience for us and a learning experience for the students. Our only complaint with the hotel was the furnishings in the room. They were somewhat old and long in the tooth. It's time to replace the carpets and the furniture.

My wife and I checked in and after seeing our bedroom realized we had made a huge mistake. We wanted to enjoy our trip to Lyon but the hotel was not up to our standards. Supposedly a 5 star hotel but it really feels like a 3 stars. No restaurant was available for dinner because it is under renovation. Our room was a trip to the past in a bad way. All was old, not dirty but in dire need of renovation and attention. We had to check out after having dinner at a restaurant nearby and go to a better hotel. To top it all off, the manager refused to give us a refund. They even kept the 2 night! Unbelievable! Beware!
