What guests think

At Grand Hotel des Terreaux, travellers praise the central, walkable location and friendly staff, while feedback on rooms and facilities is mixed, with comfort appreciated by some but dated décor, small sizes, and noise or climate-control issues noted by others.

The small indoor pool is frequently described as cold with limited hours, there is no on-site parking (public garages are nearby), and in-room amenities like kettles or minibars are often absent. Cleanliness is generally praised, though some bathrooms show wear or mold and a few note dated carpets; breakfast ranges from very good to basic or overpriced, with a pleasant bar/lounge. Overall, expect an older, characterful base in a superb spot with practical comfort rather than full four-star frills.

The hotel is well situated, old fashioned in a good way. The pool is very small, more like a cave - but ok. The first night, though we had paid for an upgraded room, we slept in a very crammed and stuffed room towards the minimal backyard. The friendly man in the reception helped us to change for the nextcoming period (there is also a young and rather plump woman at the reception, not so friendly). We had the whole breakfast only once, not really worth the money (too sweet) but the straff was friendly and hardworking.

Very nice hotel, I stayed for 2 nights. No parking on site, the streets are extremely narrow so be mindful as you drive. There was some shenanigans going on outside on the street a bit of a fight. At night the area might not be safe but during the day is fine. There is no parking at the hotel, but a few streets down there is a large, very clean underground parking, so that was fine. I would say for sight seeing the hotel is well located, walking distance from a lot of attractions, including the Musée des Beaux Arts. I would go there again.

Très déçus de l’offre en général pour un hôtel 4 étoiles : pas de parking, donc parking public payant en marchant. Pas d’accueil personnalisé bien que correct. Chambre petite mais surtout n’offrant ni boisson froide et/ou chaude (pour un 4 étoile je le répète). Petit déjeuner en tous points similaire à un 3 étoiles et encore certains proposent plus de variétés. Salle trop petite et personnel bruyant. Bref, nous payons cher pour l’emplacement uniquement (à 10min à pied du centre ancien)

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and the amenities provided were completely adequate. Only reason for 4 of 5 stars is that the pool was very cold for the season. I was hoping the whirlpool would be warm, but it was the same temperature as the pool, which was barely above room temp. Many people were surprised by the pool temperature and couldn’t stay in long.

The hotel is quiet and convenient to old Lyon and the Musée des Beaux-arts which was nice, but overall it felt a bit tired, in need of being refreshed. I was also surprised that what is billed as a four star hotel didn’t offer real glasses in the rooms. A small point but one that I noticed. The staff were very friendly and polite.

Le personnel dans la salle de petit déjeuner était très agréable. Par contre, mon impression initiale était plutôt négative. La personne qui m’a accueillie était froide et peu serviable. Elle m’a laissé me débrouiller seule avec 2 grande valises et de nombreux sacs sans la moindre des suggestions ou proposition de l’aide pour monter au premier étage. La chambre sentait la cigarette refroidie et d’ailleurs sur le patio, qui avait certainement était oublié par les agents nettoyants, il restaient de nombreux mégots d’un précédent client. Nous n’irons plus à cet hôtel lors de nos séjours à Lyon.

The A/C did not seem to cool down our room much - luckily it was a little rainy while we were there and opening the windows helped. Elevator is small and we had to carry our large suitcases up a small staircase to get to the room once on our floor. But nothing substantial that would deter me from staying here again. Great location - quick walk to Vieux Lyon and rue Merciere where there are a TON of restaurants (we recommend the pizza at Figlio). Highly recommend

The service was always very professional and attentive. The hotel is from a different period, where rooms were different, priorities different and amenities different. The wi-fi in the room was too poor, it was not always possible to remain online even just for mails or online news. To see even a short video clip often would not be possible. This is not good enough in 2025 in a declared 4-star hotel. There was no coffee/tea in the room. That's quite rare these days even in 2-star hotels. Location was excellent.

Simply not a four-star property. Very conveniently located and staff at front desk is very helpful and super nice and friendly. Our room however (superior room) was very basic, when “historic” has crossed the line into just “old”. Furnishings/carpet need updating, free standing mini fridge is an afterthought. Not even a kettle, coffee machine or mini bar, what a four-star property should offer. Bathroom was nicer, renovated, clean and functional. However we were left two days in a row with no bath towels (had to request them from front desk and they were provided right away). This property is a good base for visiting the town, just calibrate your expectations.

On me dit oui sans souci et on m’oublie, je rappelle, les boissons finissent par arriver mais non décapsulées. J’ai dû redescendre en chaussettes au bar pour décapsuler moi même les bouteilles !
