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.
There were some odd little things, including the bathroom setup, but I think the hotel has been retrofitted into one or two floors of the building.

Hotel du Dauphin was a fine place to stay mainly due to its convenient location quite near the Place Bellecour and within very easy walking distance to Vieux Lyon and Lyon Perrache Station. It is located on the first floor of the building and you will be given a code to enter both the building and the hotel during late hours so there is a good feeling of security for the solo traveller. The rooms are very spacious compared to the European standard which I know will be an essential from some travelers. The concierge was very helpful and went out of his way to make the experience a pleasant one and was very patient with my attempts at speaking French.

It was in a very clear location. This time I checked in at the last minute, but the hotel contacted me and told me how to get in in case I couldn't make it in time.
The receptionist was very helpful.
I was in a room facing the street and it was noisy outside.

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.
You don't always have a kettle in French hotels so it was a nice surprise, however once I'd used up the two Nescafe sachets I was asked to pay if I wanted more!!!!!!!
Arriving from the Airport by Rhonexpress? When you get to Lyon Part-Dieu station, walk all the way through to the other side and then outside again following the signs saying Metro B - get a single ticket ( they last a hour ) ticket machines are in English too, take Metro B direction St Genis Leval to Saxe-Gambetta then change to Metro D direction Gare de Vaise and get off at Bellecour, leave the station, cross the road into Rue Victor Hugo and the hotel doorway is next to a branch of Nicolas Wines...

Good location. Nice staff. Good bed. Clean.
From the bedroom I could hear all the noise due to others guests, coming during the night and opening the bedrooms, and talking loud.

Very clean in the hotel , my room and bathroom .
The Reception staff were wonderful- very helpful and kind , particularly Camille ! She made my stay extra pleasant.
The stairwell leading up to the first floor Reception was dark and there was very old worn out carpet on the stairs and I was a bit shocked to see that . The stairs are old grey stone and the carpet covered the middle strip of the stairs so it all looked quite ugly .

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, it is very close to all the tourist attractions. The room is small, but very clean.
As the rooms are very small, it is very inconvenient to shower or use a toilet. Also, the rooms are not soundproof.

Location is very convenient. Cute and comfortable room.
Wifi/TV kept going fuzzy so pretty much impossible to TV. Entrance to building is so-so as it is unlocked most of the time and a bit dark. A bit scary.

It’s an old building and with that you can hear every sound in the building. Not much can be done about it.

Great location. The male staff member who checked us in was especially helpful and kind, and went to great lengths to speak slowly and clearly so that I could practice my French comprehension which was much appreciated. (Staff also speak English but he was happy to let me practice my French). The hotel simple but functional, clean and friendly.
Room 9 En-suite shower room cramped and bad layout. Toilet too close to opposite wall, and shelf above basin meant you hit your head on shelf when trying to use basin! Adjustment to en-suite layout would make significant improvement.

Excellent location. The staff was very nice. The room was clean.
The bed is too small for 2 people, it was impossible to sleep.
The entrance is smelly, dark, with some completely wearied carpet on the stairs. Probably this part of the building does not belong to the hotel, but you still have to pass through it to get in. It's quite unpleasant.

Small hotel in a parisian style with very approachable stuff. The room had everything you need and more. The star of the show was a beautiful french window with wonderfull view.

Great location in the centre of Lyon, just a few hundred metres from the metro station and easy walking distance to shopping areas., cafes and restaurants and the old town. The street is a pedestrian area so very quiet at night. We booked a larger room so had ample space for bags etc and a large double bed.
Staff were very friendly and polite and very welcoming, and spoke a good level of English. The continental breakfast was good. Room was clean and cleaned and bed made every day.
The bathroom was tiny despite booking a larger room and the shower cubicle door leaked, wetting the bathroom floor. Also a funky smell in the bathroom when we arrived. The WiFi was ok but sometimes dropped out and had to sign back in every day. Bed was a little hard.

The room was extremely small, there was bearly place to put our luggage on the floor. The shower was so small I could hardly turn. As a result of the very small room it was difficult to move around and towels would not dry as there was little air circulation
