Very nice hotel, great location, good breakfast, friendly & helpful staff.
Just a suggestion for the hotel - the room lighting was very dark (26) - would suggest more lights/brighter lightbulbs.

The staff here is amazing! They are so kind and helpful. Also, the hotel is perfectly situated. It is across from a wonderful plaza, steps from the metro, steps from quality shopping including the arts and antique district and centrally located to make walking anywhere you would want to go, just a few minutes away. The rooms are adorable and I loved the attention to detail. I am one who usually likes to try different places when I visit a city but next time I come to Lyon, I will definitely stay here again. It could not be more perfect!

Wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. Perfect location in the middle of town walking distance to everything and otherwise close to transit. The hotel is furnished with lovely antiques.
Make sure you have the breakfast! The breakfast area is lovely with a large selection of homemade treats as well as all the usual breakfast items. Not to be missed!
We loved our stay here!

No ac so had to keep windows open but it is a very busy noisy street so difficult to sleep easily if room is on the Main Street. Perhaps a fan ? We loved the Time Machine quality of the room which was unique and fun and yet still fully comfortable and clean. We were a bit skeptical given the nature of the Entrance -but it is lovely once you enter and understand the unesco heritage.

The Hotel Bayard Bellecour is a lovely, well appointed hotel that is so convenient to everything you want to see in Lyon. The front desk clerk was so charming, pleasant and helpful. The room was elegant however a bit dark. It transports you to an earlier, more elegant time. There is a rotary dial that still works, crystal glasses and small touches.
The breakfast was pricey but lovely. Lots of different cakes, breads and selection of yogurts, fruit, cheese and sliced meats.
