Very good stay overall. The staff were warm and welcoming, and Jordon at reception was especially helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a convenient location, very close to the metro station, which made getting around easy. The room was also clean and comfortable. Would happily stay here again.

The Staff were welcoming and friendly yet very professional. The location was excellent for public transport and walking into the centre of Lyon.

Generally speaking this was an enjoyable stay. The hotel is comfortable and staff helpful. The restaurant and bar were closed on the second night. The swimming pool is an adjacent building and is charged separately.

Very good hotel. The blue paint in the corridor wouldn't be my first choice but it doesn't really matter. It is perfectly located if you go to a rugby game, a bit far from the center of the city (but with easy access) otherwise. Lovely personel, and awesome breakfast. Overall a good choice
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is the third time I’ve stayed at this hotel while visiting Lyon. My wife and I stayed at The Ruck during the Rugby World Cup in 2023. It was a most memorable occasion, as we shared the hotel with the New Zealand All Blacks squad. The staff were then and during this most recent visit the most welcoming. Food is great too. Lyon old town is easily reachable by the underground train. Takes about 15 minutes tops.

It was a wonderful stay. The hotel is brand new, sparkling clean and very comfortable. It has a metro station steps away, so it’s perfectly connected to the rest of the city.

Fantastic staff, beautiful rooms. Not super close to main part of Lyon but easy to jump on ebikes and ride beside the river safely and beautifully in to town all times of day. Was disappointed the restaurant and bar were closed during our stay because it was "slow summer" would have appreciated if even the bar stayed open so there was some type of drinks available because there isn't much super close in the area. Would recommend the hotel!

I liked that the hotel and room was unique and it was overall a good experience. I did not like that the restaurant was not available for dining because it was reserved for some events on multiple days during my stay.

Great hotel for rugby

We were visiting Lyon for the Rugby World Cup and we’re delighted to discover on arrival that the Ne Zealand All Blacks were also staying. Being a small, intimate hotel, we felt like part of the All Blacks party. Special mention to Martial for great service. Thank you.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Clean room, nice bar and good location. However the hotel bar was shut before midnight on a Saturday which was disappointing. The pool is not included which is misleading. It has particular rules, swimming cap and professional swimwear must be worn and additional charge for guests. I tired to find information about the pool before we arrived. We could not use the facilities with the swimming costumes/shorts we had, we were advised to buy the suitable items at the pool.

eras tour stay with friends

the weirdest place I have ever stayed. service was sporadic and they are weird with their food service. Sometimes close early sometimes they dont serve room service at all even though it says 24/7. There is no restaurants anywhere around this place either. very industrial feel inside but theoutside gardens are very nice. One of the night desk person was VERY RUDE. dont think I'd stay again. breakfast not great for the money but where else are you going to go?

Lovely hotel (not so lovely neighbourhood/ quartier) - beautifully designed family (2 interconnected rooms) room. No kettle no coffee machine in the rooms. Fresh water bottles were provided. The swimming pool is not part of the hotel although 2min walk door to door - It requires a swimming hat and swimming trunks for boys. Great for one night stay during a road trip to South of France. Pet friendly and super noise cancelling rooms- our dog did not react once to any noise !!
