Best Western Hotel du Pont Wilson

Very quiet and relaxing hotel with outstanding breakfast. Staff was very helpful and all of them spoke English and French. Very close walking distance to many restaurants and the river area with vibrant night life less

Our taxi dropped us off at the hotel way early (10:00am) after leaving our river boat cruise. The woman at the front desk spoke very good English and was so helpful. She tagged our luggage and put them in a secure area while we went out and had a cup of coffee waiting for a room to be cleaned. We came back an hour later and she upgraded us to one of their larger rooms with a balcony overlooking the river. Room was huge, even had bunk beds for kids. Good sized very clean, bathroom (no face cloths) Bed was comfortable as were the bedding and pillows. Bed was quite close to the floor, almost needed help getting out. Room had complimentary in-room hot water for tea and coffee and several bottles of drinking water. There was a mini bar with food etc. but I didn't check it. It was Easter Sunday and there wasn't many places open to eat. There was a farmers market set up on the river walk side walk , what a wonderful array of produce, too bad we couldn't buy some to take with us. Never did get the TV figured out,. That's ok we had several books to read. Slept very good, room was quiet. Buffet breakfast provided by the hotel for a fee was quite good. Coffee was great. I understand there is some parking in their basement for a fee. On street parking would be difficult. Taxi ride to the Lyon airport cost about 80 euros from the hotel and took about an hour.. less

In a quiet part of the town and a nice walk over the river to find some really nice eateries. The staff in this hotel really make it shine. The breakfast was good so no complaints at all. The room was clean and the bed was both large and comfortable. less

warm welcome, good beds (although comforters too hot), we had two rooms and were upgraded to be next to each other. Very helpful front desk: told us that the rooms will be renovated, although our room seemed more than fine. We didn't take breakfast but it looked ok: two cost levels. The location was just across the bridge from the center. If you don't mind walking (that's what we did the two days we were there) it is a super location. Not far from the river. One day we took a cab to the Croix Rousse area and walked home. We also walked from and back to the train station (Part Dieu). less

Best western Pont Wilson was a pleasant surprise. An authentic "value for money" hotel, with spacious double rooms and great double beds with comfortable matresses, as clean as they get and very friendly staff. Marion and David were great and offered us all the help we needed. They also speak excellent english (something that is hard to find in France) and they always smile. Breakfast was ok, and had a great variety (scrambled eggs, sausages, marmelades, croissants, pain ou chocolat, two kinds of juices etc). For 16 euro per person per night, could be better. Coffee is served through a machine (as is the case in almost every part of France). Location is very good. 5 minutes walk from place Bellecour (Lyon's center) and 50 metres from the hotel is a tram stop (Liberte - T1). Of course it's not the most central hotel but it's very close and the room price is great. I would stay there again and I will. I also recommend it to couples, families and literally everyone. less
