Beautiful little hotel tucked in the peninsula region of Lyon. Super close to bridge to Old Town Lyon, a walkable trip in 10 minutes. Just blocks from all the high end and local shops, as well as Michelin star restaurants. Building has an elevator so no hauling suitcases upstairs. Friendly and helpful desk staff. Would stay here again!

The property is solid, clean, well run with a very good breakfast serving products from local merchants (jams, bakery items, charcuterie, fromage, etc.) The breakfast room staff is stellar, fast and efficient. The front desk staff is both friendly and efficient. There is always someone on the desk and you are buzzed into the front entry. There is a lift! The rooms vary in size but ours was fairly spacious for 2 people. There was a separate W.C.and a double sink in the bathroom (lovely!) It had both good air conditioning and double paned windows. This kept the room quiet and insulated from both the warm weather and any noise from the Place Celestin right across the street. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Lyon!

I only have one negative comment. The hotel provides a key with a heavy metal object to carry around while in the hotel. You must give it to the hotel reception before you leave the hotel. The front door is always locked and you have to buzz the bell to be let in, then you have to ask reception for your room key each time they buzz you in. This is an annoying procedure, I like the freedom to come and go without reporting to the front desk each time I come and go. For this reason, I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. It was good in all other aspects though I stayed for 11 nights, and didn't like this. Other hotels give you card which allows you to enter your hotel and room with the card, they should modernize to that system.

Positive: Despite the central location, the hotel is very quiet. Amazing to sleep. I found the beds very comfortable and the room was also big enough. I didn’t try the breakfast so I cannot say anything about it. The staff was also very nice. What I didn’t like was: I was confused about the room service. I never knew what the cleaning team would clean or replace. It all seemed random. Sometimes I would get a new towel for the floor but not a new one for my body. The protection glass in the shower was too narrow. The floor was always wet.

Great hotel. I don't think I've been in a better one in France. Beautifully decorated, immaculate, centrally located for easy walk within the peninsula, along the Saône River (Sunday St. Antoine Market just feet away), and the Old Lyon. The room was huge by French standards, with a walk-in area with a refrigerator and electric teapot. The beds were very comfortable with wonderful seemingly new white quilts. The bathroom had quality fixtures and a wall-to-wall shower. I hope to return to the Hotel des Artistes and will recommend it in the highest terms to everyone.

The receptionist thought we stole the canteen water bottle that they let us borrow during our stay. We returned it to another receptionist and told her that but she continued to ask and question us as we brought a very similar water bottle from back home and she thought it was the hotels. It was not - it’s ours and we didn’t appreciate this. Terrible.
