This is a good modern hotel. It is out of the city centre but the underground station is right beside the hotel. It’s a 15 minute journey in to the city. The hotel provides free access to the pool. There’s a huge outdoor pool and an indoor one. You must wear trunk type swim shorts and swim hats. The breakfast is ok, we had to ask to get items topped up and the flies were a bit of a pain. I would return to this hotel.

This is a very cool hotel!! We absolutely loved our family room which consisted of two interconnected rooms! The decor and layout was perfect and we slept very well!! We also appreciated them accomodating our large and tall car in the front car park. Only negatives were that the restaurant was closed so no food onsite but the lovely guy on reception booked us a table at Chez Carlo (a pizza place nearby). The pool is also in a building next door and has lots of rules about costumes men wear and everyone has to wear hats so we decided to leave as it was very restrictive! Points to note: The hotel is AMAZING!! Just wish we could have stayed in and had dinner in the restuarant as the area was a little sketchy and we were approached several times by people begging.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?
