What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers describe Hôtel Silky by HappyCulture as a small, centrally located boutique stay with very friendly staff, clean if sometimes compact rooms, and convenient touches like lobby coffee and water, but mixed maintenance and breakfast experiences.

Access by car and nearby parking can be difficult due to pedestrianized streets. Room experiences vary: some offer balconies or views, while others feel dark, have low ceilings, limited storage, or suffer from noise and temperature control issues. Common areas and some bathrooms show wear, with occasional maintenance or cleanliness concerns. A practical boutique base suited to travellers prioritizing convenience over extensive facilities.

It was a shame that we were only here for one night. The hotel was located close to everything - where we were able to walk everywhere after dropping off our rental car. The lobby was designed with the silk theme - very colorful and chic. Check-in was fast and easy. The only suggestion for the hotel is to install a ramp by the entrance and by the elevator to ease the handling of luggage. We enjoyed the water station (with the choices of flat or sparkling) and the coffee machine/tea in the lobby. We had a corner room on the 5th floor, which was very spacious. The room had a modern decor and a cute balcony that overlooked the mountain and the street. We didn’t have any noise issues. The bathroom was spacious too. But the mirror was positioned a bit too high for me - I am 5”1’ so I had to tip my toes in order to see myself in the mirror. Overall, I’d highly recommend this hotel.

The rooms look nice but far from what you'd expect for a supposedly 4 stars hotel. The carpet in the stairs and corridors were filthy, very run down. There's no fridge in the room so it was hard to keep the water fresh given that a/c can't be lowered below 23°C. The location is perfect though.

It's a cute boutique hotel right in the centre. But why does it have four stars? Positives - super central location, unlimited coffee and water, friendly girls at the reception. Minuses - the hotel is really tiny, there is no bar or any facilities rather than two couches at the reception. The room is big but very dark! No fridge. We couldn't sleep because the neighbours went to the corridor at 12am and decided to shout. And the next day the building works started at 7 am.

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were friendly and excellent. We really appreciated the drinks that were available in the lobby even before and after we had checked out on the first and last days. A lovely, generous touch. Our room was gorgeous. Only two issues. The area was noisy at night with the nightlife and the access by car was impossible. We had hired a car, but took it back to the hirers for the last two days of our holiday in Lyon as the peninsular in the centre of the city where the hotel is, is in the process of being pedestrianised. Road closures made it impossible to get to the hotel by car. We ended up parking about 10 minutes walk away to drop of our luggage and took the car back to the airport and returned it two days early. We had been planning to do this after we had dropped the luggage off, but it was quite stressful driving round the centre of Lyon for about half an hour before we discovered that it was impossible to drive to the hotel.

Also the hotel lobby has free coffee machine that makes hot chocolate too. Free water and sparkling water as well as nicely brewed herbal tea. Love the friendly staff and don’t forget to try their breakfast option, it’s quite nice, everything is done just right, including the drinks.

Un grand merci à la jeune réceptionniste de garde qui a pu me trouver un autre établissement en urgence.

It is great in terms of location and accessibility from the airport. The actual hotel relies on a very tiny elevator so if you have a lot of bags and/or people it’s very difficult. We also had to move rooms because of a very loud leaking pipe. The hotel itself is nice in the lobby but the rest informs you that it’s very old and hasn’t been looked after. My partner accidentally stepped on a mouse which then scurried into a hole into the wall as we walked up the stairs.

The Silky Hotel had friendly, helpful front desk staff! Our room was very clean and quite large by European standards, with king sized bed, a large bathroom, and tiny little balcony with two small chairs, overlooking the street front. However, for a large room, it had no dresser or other piece of furniture to put your things down. There was only a small desk by the door, and much of the desk space was taken up by the coffee machine set-up. So the room was too sparse and the space needed more furniture. For this reason it would not be comfortable for more than a night or two. Also, although the rooms are updated, the stairwells and corridors are dark and dingy, with old stained carpeting. This area really needs updating! Breakfast was in the basement level because there is no room in the tiny lobby. I did not like the breakfast space and the food was just passable. Overall I would recommend hotel for a very short stay in a central location.

Hôtel très bien situé et calme malgré le fait d’être en pleine ville. Personnes agréables à l’accueil, un peu moins sûr le service du petit déjeuner. Chambre « supérieure » qui mériterait un petit coup de neuf : manque de peinture par endroit, joints douche et surtout trous dans le linge de lit. Quelques petits détails qui attirent l’œil malheureusement mais bonne expérience générale.

I stayed there for 3 nights. My room had 2 beds, a double and a single. From the first night I slept in a double room and was attacked by bugs, I didn't know what kind of bugs it was. Told reception the next morning and they promised they would spray the room. The same thing happened the second night, and I ended up putting the tower on the single bed to sleep

This hotel was great for me as a solo traveler - it’s in a safe area, the room was clean and I was impressed by the double windows that blocked out street noise. It’s right in the heart of a ton of shopping and restaurants. The only con was the shower- I barely fit in it and I’m a smaller woman, and the doors didn’t shut properly so the water got in the floor. If you can look past that it’s a good room.

We stayed in a family room, which was quite spacious. This made it easier with a family of 3 to not be tripping on luggage. The hotel is centrally located and close to shopping, restaurants and museums. Bed were comfortable, but the room had a smell of musk or mildrew almost, as soon as you came off the elevator and through the first door to the rooms you could smell it. There was water damage on the roof in the room. The bathroom was quite large as well with a tub and separate shower. The drawers in the vanity weren't clean as they had hair in them, but overall the room was clean. The sofa bed our son slept in was comfortable however it squeaked so loud with even the smallest movement so it was a distraction in the night.
