Hotel Du Theatre

Location is excellent: close to key tourist areas - place Bellecour, Vieux Lyon, cathedrale St-Jean, funicilaire to Fourviere hill, traboules; a lot of bouchons Lyonnais, rue Merciere; close to shopping area, rue de la Republique et al.; close to subway station... Friendly and helpful staff. Cleanliness. Very good price/quality ratio.

There is no lift : one has to go two floors up to attend the reception and then one or two floors to attend the room - not a serious problem generally, but it would be that one while travelling with heavy luggage or a crucial one while having disability.

Great location

Location was excellent with easy access to all the sights and restaurants. The staff were attentive and the rooms very comfortable. Breakfast was good, too.

The only down side is that there was no air conditioning so we had to have the windows open as it was 34C during the day so the room was hot. Unfortunately in a big city you are going to have noise with open windows. There was a fan but it just blew the heat about. Just a warning too,there is no elevator so getting up and down the stairs may be an issue for some people. It didn't bother us, we only had light luggage and we loved the hotel.
