Hotel De Verdun 1882

An attractive building with its charming facade. Customer service was welcoming. Small rooms, a little claustrophobic facing internally into other apartments, but hidden with pot plants so you weren't being watched. We had 2 rooms, one split beds for children, and entrance door to both could be closed off so there was interconnection with both rooms. Fittings were quaint and in keeping with the heritage building. Limited space for storage but we managed. Small bathroom in the main bedroom with limited space for storing bath items or towels. Distance to old town was a fair walk. Originally we booked thinking we would travel from Perrache station however there is limited service from this station and had to uber to Part Dieu for most of our travels to other towns. Apart from being small rooms, the only other negative is the laundry service. We had asked at the desk how much the laundry was and advised that it is dependent on the size of the laundry bag. No pricing list could be located by the receptionist. The next day we left 1/2 a small plastic bad with reception. Again no pricing was provided. When checking out we notice we were charged 71 euro for laundry. We did not want to raise this at the time of checkout due to guests in the reception, however this is very expensive price for laundry, considering it was 1/2 a bag and mainly small items. If we had known prior we would not have proceeded. Recommendations for restaurants provided and we went to 2 of them. One which is just a few steps away - Bedda Terra Mia. which I highly rate and we thoroughly enjoyed high quality dinner and drinks. The other was the best which was Carmelo closer to the old town. Very eclectic and you need a reservation. We asked the hotel receptionist on our day of arrival if she could assist with reservation as it was my birthday, and maybe it was a communication issue, but she advised us that all the recommended restaurants contact details are on their website - asserting that we contact them directly. Anyway, I reserved online for our last day in Lyon. An enjoyable stay however I would not stay in this area due to our travel preferences.

Lovely cosy and comfortable hotel within an easy walk of all major sights. Family owned and operated they were very kind and helpful. Clean modern amenities and lovely continental breakfast. Highly recommend, was the perfect place to stay for our 1st night in Lyon.

We recently enjoyed a fantastic 5-night stay at Hotel Verdun, and it exceeded all our expectations. This beautifully renovated 1882 mansion perfectly balances historical charm with modern amenities, including much-appreciated air conditioning. Our family room was impeccably clean, well-appointed, and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after long days of exploring. The attention to detail in maintaining the property's original character while seamlessly integrating contemporary conveniences is truly impressive. The staff deserves special mention for their exceptional service. Always welcoming, helpful, and wearing genuine smiles, they significantly enhanced our stay. The neighborhood around Hotel Verdun is wonderfully walkable, with a grocery store, pharmacy, and laundry all within a 3 to 5-minute walk. Just a block away, there's a lovely green square perfect for relaxing, and plenty of shopping opportunities along the pedestrian street three blocks away. It's worth noting that there's currently a school undergoing renovations across the street, which can produce some noise during working hours. However, our room faced the back of the building, overlooking charming rooftops, so it didn't detract from our experience at all. We will absolutely stay at Hotel Verdun again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, comfortable, and well-located accommodation. It truly offers a fantastic blend of historical ambiance and modern comfort, making for an unforgettable stay.
