The staff at Hotel Alexandra was extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a wonderful area on the Rue Victor Hugo pedestrian street, which is within walking distance to most sites of interest. The breakfast by Arus is excellent! Overall, a delightful stay in a lovely city.

The hotel is very neat and stylish with a lovely courtyard. The concierge even showed me to my room, which is small but comfortable and cozy. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to Lyon’s Perrache train station. There are several good restaurants nearby, as this is the culinary capital. I enjoyed the traditional Lyonnaise bouchon Le Poelon D’Or. Be sure to reserve ahead.

Lovely Hotel – But Not Ideal for Allergies

Hotel Alexandra has a lot going for it: the location is excellent, and the staff were consistently kind, helpful, and went out of their way to assist me. Rooms facing the square offer beautiful views, though there’s some noise until around 11:30pm. Courtyard-facing rooms are very quiet. That said, the style of the hotel includes carpet in some rooms, padded headboards, and velvet drapes. While everything was kept very clean, the materials and limited airflow made it difficult for me as someone with asthma and dust sensitivity. I tried leaving the windows open, but without screens, I ended up getting bitten by mosquitoes at night, which ultimately forced me to find another hotel. If you don’t have allergies or respiratory issues, this could be a very charming place to stay. But for travelers with sensitivities, it may not be the best fit—despite the staff’s truly excellent efforts.

Perfect location, Great Service but the room..

Great location and friendly service. We had a room which you accessed via the patio/terrace. Which was quite nice, the downside being there wasn’t a window to let in any natural light - we were out most of the time so it was ok for us; but I can imagine for others it would be unacceptable and it was not mentioned in the room description.

The staff was very accommodating to our needs, easy to talk to and offers help willingly. The hotel is walkable to the Bellecour Plaza which is also close to the shopping district. There is a metro and a tourist office at the Bellecour Plaza. Also by the Bellecour Plaza is the Lyon City bus - hop on/off version. However, it is only one bus and the total full bus route to the tourist areas is two hours. one has to plan their day. The area around the hotel has a lot of dining options as well. The hotel offers an unlimited supply of drinking water by the reception desk which is very important to the guests after a day of fun. For first timers to this hotel, one has to use the elevator to go up to the reception area. After that, everything is a breeze. I will certainly avail if this hotel when I return to Lyon.

Quaint little hotel in the middle of Lyon. Walkable to all attractions and many cafes and restaurants, plus a nice market around the corner. The room was clean and well appointed. While the room itself was small, we were comfortable and slept very well. We weere treated to a very nice praline brioche as a welcome gift. I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Alexandra was an excellent choice for Lyon. It couldn't be more conveniently located, the staff was delightful and kind. The rooms are quirky, maybe a bit small (but not unexpectedly so), but clean and comfortable. It's literally steps away from the metro, so it's super convenient to get anywhere in the city. I'll definitely stay there again when I return!
