Fauverney Holidays from €293

Surprisingly, no lift but reception was prompt to switch our arthritic selves to ground floor. Bar had excellent, reasonably-priced local wines (Beaujolais Villages) & on-site restaurant had Canette des Dombes.

Wonderful food at the restaurant, friendly professional service

Very authentic French country mansion with guest rooms full of charm and elegance. Peaceful place to get away from a city.

You can't ask for a better location in Lyon. It is right in the heart of the city, easy walking distance to everything. The staff and hotel are extremely friendly and helpful. Terrific breakfast in the morning. The facilities themselves have a fun, old-hotel feeling to them, and I enjoyed how it didn't feel like a chain hotel. Highly recommend a stay!

The toilet was in the shower. The bathroom was like a cruise ship—the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel and the toilet was half in the shower. This is not an exaggeration. The hairdryer was outside of the bathroom, attached to the wall. No room even for that. A metal panel fell from the ceiling—missing really injuring me by 30 seconds. Some of the staff were great, but others not so much. The location was good.
