My stay at Hotel De L'Abbaye Lyon had its highs and lows. The charming atmosphere and lovely staff made my experience pleasant, but a few hiccups during check-in and some noise issues detracted from the overall enjoyment. While the location was convenient for exploring Lyon, I found myself occasionally wishing for a bit more attention to detail in the service. 🌟

I appreciated the well-appointed room with modern amenities, including a stylish bathroom with high-quality L'Occitane products. It felt spacious for a European hotel and offered a charming view into the garden. However, being near the church meant I heard the bells frequently throughout the day. 🛏️

While the hotel featured facilities like room service and laundry, the parking situation was a bit tricky as it's not directly offered on-site. A nearby public parking garage is a short walk away. I would have preferred more ease in that department. 🚗

I had a wonderful time at Hotel De L'Abbaye. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Monica and Nicholas, who went above and beyond in providing great recommendations. The location was peaceful, next to a beautiful historic abbey, making it a charming atmosphere. However, I found the room a bit small and the furniture could have been more comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and I'm eager to return to Lyon.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel De L'Abbaye in Lyon. The historic charm of the building and the beautiful decor were definite highlights, but I faced some issues with room comfort. The air conditioning was not operational during a heat wave, which made sleeping difficult. Despite these challenges, the overall atmosphere and friendly service from the staff made my stay somewhat enjoyable.

The room was stylishly decorated, although it felt compact. I appreciated the modern bathroom fittings and the L'Occitane amenities, but the lack of air conditioning during a heat wave was uncomfortable. The small sleeping arrangements didn't help either.

I found the breakfast buffet to be good but a bit lacking in variety. I enjoyed the pastries and the scrambled eggs, but it took too long to get refills. The hotel restaurant, L'Artichaut, had some pleasant dining options, which I would try next time.

While the hotel offered room service and other amenities, the overall lack of available staff in the evenings felt like a significant drawback to enjoying these facilities fully. The absence of cooling options during the heat also limited my experience.
