Hôtel du Dauphin

I do like a quirky hotel and Hotel Dauphin ticked the boxes, reminiscent of hotels I visited in my childhood, on the second floor, above some shops with one of those old fashioned lifts that hold just 2 people, you press a buzzer to be admitted and the staff are very friendly, baggage storage for pre and post stays. Lots of remarks on here about how small the rooms are, mine wasn't that small, shower/toilet was spacious and newly decorated. Room itself was traditional French, that blue/green institutional paint, big windows and Juliette balcony onto the street. Rue Victor Hugo is a shopping street and wasn't too noisy at night! The hotel is a few yards from the Metro station in the Place Bellecour (a couple of yards more and you're at the Tourist info centre too) If you like a bland chain hotel the Hotel Dauphin may not be for you but I enjoyed my stay.

This was a lovely charming little boutique hotel! Highly recommend. Walking distance to old Lyon as well as right in the middle of shops & restaurants. Clean, charming & the little breakfast was perfect. The staff was lovely & so helpful. My daughter had an allergic reaction to some food at a nearby restaurant & the staff was so helpful! Thank you for such a lovely place to stay.

This hotel is well located and excellent value for money. Staff were so helpful and friendly- thank you! The room had fabulous tall French windows opening to the street below, which is now pedestrian only.

Well-located budget accommodation with modern comforts and old style charm. Staff are excellent and very helpful. This little gem is just wonderful and my room had a great window opening to the street below. The lift is minuscule but retrofitted to an old building so appreciated. I recommend staying here.

Location. Price. Bijou. V fresh and clean. Comfy beds. Store your bags on final day. Nice receptionist everyday. Contact prior to arriving and info re exact trains / stops etc.
