Excellent location and service

We enjoyed our stay at the Sofitel. Not only was it an excellent location (in between the Rue Victor Hugo and Rue de la République and near Vieux Lyon), but the service was exceptional. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The icing on the cake was the turn down service. We would absolutely return!

Our room wasn’t ready at check-in time. No one apologized for that. We went up to their 8th floor bar for drinks. We waited almost half an hour, no on bother to take our order. So, we just left.
