GRAND HÔTEL DES TERREAUX ^{* * * *}

Un bel Hôtel idéalement situé
Un personnel aux petits soins .
De belles chambres , très propres .

Over all our experience in the hotel was good. The rooms were okay in size, the bathroom was also ok in size. The rooms were cleaned regularly and housekeeping was thorough in cleaning.||My main concern was front desk. We decided to stay in for an after and did not put a do not disturb sign in our room. While we were resting we heard someone opening our door. We were surprised and when I opened to check - it was a guy telling me that they were there to get plants. I felt bad for the guy so I allowed him and his assistant to enter to remove the plants from our window. So, what is my problem about this - we were never informed about someone entering our room and doing something. (Mind you they had a posting regarding no water for 4 hours due to maintenance but they could not inform us about this) ||For me, a guest in a hotel should be informed about things like this. I hope management can look into this and improve communications to guests.||I feel bad giving a lower rating because it is a good hotel

This is a wonderful hotel very conveniently placed in between the two rivers. It is one of the quietest hotels I have stayed in. We were in room 304. It is one of the bigger rooms which was great as we were there for a week. It is spotlessly clean . The beds are very comfortable .The staff are wonderful and very helpful . We didn't eat breakfast there as we enjoyed going out to the cafes nearby . Diploid and Fuschia are minutes away. Opposite is a great supermarket where we occasionally bought food to eat in our room. There is no kettle but one is available on request plus cups. We also asked for a couple of plates , knives and forks as there was a fridge and a small table we could eat at . Eating out for every meal is too much for us . I swam every day except one . The pool is not heated . It is very cold but it was not a problem for me but it might be for others if expecting a heated pool . We ate at a bouchon Chez Paul near the corner which was lots of fun . When in Lyon you have to eat at a bouchon. Also nearby by is a patiesserie Chez Gregoire in Rue Constantin which makes THE most amazing gluten free patissieries. Don't be put off by them being gluten free. The taboules are really worth visiting but not easy to find.. You can explore them yourself and don't need to pay ridiculous amount for a guided tour .W asked the hotel receptionists and they gave us the exact addresses but you can google them. They are behind very heavy scruffy doors . There are no signs. 54 Rue St Jean .La Longue Traboule. lt is one. It is behind a scruffy green door. Other interesting places to visit Musee des Beaux Arts . The Museum of Deportation and Resitance . Lugdunum . We also took a trip out to visit the Ideal Palais du Facter Cheval at Hauterives. It is not an easy place to visit by public transport but well |worth a visit. Lovey restaurant next to the palais entrance.
