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

The rooms were ok pretty clean but for being so new already had grout missing in the tile. If you are staying for a rugby match 10/10 on location. If there for the city and you do not have a car it is not an ideal location. Luckily we had a rental car so it was perfect for us.

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.
