“Staying in a converted monastery was such a unique and memorable experience. As soon as I walked in, the church-like atmosphere was striking and gave the hotel a very special character. The room itself was clean and comfortable, although the fluorescent-style lighting was a bit too harsh for the eyes.
I had been looking forward to dinner at the hotel, as I had heard it was excellent. Unfortunately, because of a wedding, I was told it would not be available, and no alternative arrangements for hotel guests were provided. This was quite disappointing. The following morning, I had to check out early at 6:00 a.m., so I couldn’t enjoy breakfast, and when I asked for some water at the front desk, I was told there was none, which also left me a little disappointed.
That being said, the hotel’s interior design and atmosphere are truly beautiful, and it is definitely a place worth visiting at least once.”

“The rooms are small, this hotel used to be a convent. We were disappointed with the room, places at the back of the property with no view. The hotel is at the top of the hill in Fourviere and you need to take the underground Fernicular (sp?) to get downtown. The shower head leaked and the stopper in the sink was broken. Not what I would expect from a 4 star hotel. ”

“The Fourviere Lyon was a total surprise for us. Upon arrival, we found a high quality hotel created from an abandoned convent built in mid 1800's. The structure is built in a square with an enclosed courtyard which offers a peaceful, walkable area for the patrons. Surrounding the hotel are ancient ruins of a Roman arena. Lots of history here! ”

“This hotel is amazing. The grounds and reestructure were originally a convent. The lobby has high domed ceiling with outstanding artwork, as well as the floors dazzling mosaics. The large courtyard with what now are enclosed halls are light and airy with the beautiful windows. The renovated rooms are extra large, tall ceilings, again the gorgeous windows, bathrooms are modern and large. The bar in the lobby is so cool and cozy. Great bang for my buck. ”

“This hotel was just ok. It's very difficult to get to. Views are beautiful but not worth the hike to get up there. The rooms are small even for Europe. The breakfast is not great. The coffee is horrible. Service at the restaurant is slow and the choices are limited. I would not recommend.”

“The hotel is beautiful and peaceful, only issue is that it is on top of the mountain and you need the tram to get to town. Not much close by and Ubers are hard to come by, not a lot of options for eating around ”

“I loved the property overall, very historic and our room was fantastic option for our family.
What I did not like was the air conditioning was not working in the main bedroom the staff knew this and we still had to ask for a fan which helped.
I also did not love the service at the hotel Resturant, first we went down for dinner and were turned away as we needed advance reservations which seemed ridiculous considering there were tables available ( we sat at the bar area and watched) and when we did book it I tried to show my waitress how I wanted my steak cooked and she just said I know, I know and instead of medium rare it was brought medium well! On top of that it was overly salty ( the only meal in Lyon to not come out perfectly).
Advice to the staff, listen to your clients, don’t assume.”

“Long story short. We were given a room with broken AC. When we checked into our room it was unbearably hot. The Staff lied to us and told us that the AC was working but just slow. We asked for a room with working AC and were told all comparable rooms were checked out and that we were out of luck. We went out for the day because our room was too hot to relax in. When we got back at 10:30 pm the room was still uncomfortably hot and the staff then admitted that there was probably something wrong with the AC and that they could upgrade us to a bigger room. When we got to the bigger room, it was not precooled and we weren’t sure the AC in the hotel actually worked so we just took our original room. They gave is a fan and a sheet and told us their manager would make things up to us in the
morning. The next morning the manager offered to wire us a refund if we got her our banking info. After emailing back in forth with this inattentive manager, we found out they were only going to
refund us 20 Euros, which wasn’t fair compensation to us for being given a room
with broken AC in the middle of the summer or worth the bother of figuring out an international money transfer. The lobby and hallways are also not climate controlled, so I’m left to wonder if this 4 star hotel can’t afford air conditioning. I would advise anyone else that doesn’t like sleeping in an oven to stay away.
