Hotel Du Theatre

This hotel has a great staff who went out of their way to assist me in any way they could. The location couldn't have been better unless it was on wheels and followed me around! It's located less than a block from the excellent Saint Antoine produce market and the pedestrian bridge across the Saône to the old city with its access to the Fourvière hill. Also, within the radius of a block lay a virtual smörgåsbord of cafes, bistros, brasseries, and restaurants. While located next to the Place des Célestins, with all its attendant activity, my room on the 5th story (4th, European scheme) was well insulated from outside sound.

Speaking of the levels of the rooms, all including the reception are accessible by stairs only--not a problem with my long and well-used limbs. And after a day walking all about the city, a soak in the bathtub (with shower), although not especially long-limbed-large, was a welcome restorative.

Excelent place for the price. Ideal location for sight seeing or for a bussiness stay.

The only inconvenience is no chioce of other, than a continental breakfast.

Amazing location...in the heart of the city center/historic area! But off a side street...so really quiet at night...perfect for sleeping with the windows open.

No elevator.

Location was excellent - easy to get across the river to Vieux Lyon, Metro close enough to hotel, our room overlooked the Theatre which was beautiful. Lots of shops in the area. Quiet at night. Our room was really cute, clean and spacious. Bathroom was a great size too, with a bath tub. Bed was really comfy. We'd read about the stairs before booking this place but unless you have a heavy suitcase/have difficulties with stairs they won't be a problem. The staff were always friendly and accommodating. We didn't have breakfast there so can't comment on that - we tried out a few boulangeries instead for breakfast.

Pillows! They were so floppy I had to fold mine in half to make it a pillow. Maybe extra pillows or a choice of a floppy or more firm pillow?! No air con but fans in the cupboard - we had a few hot evenings when we were there in May so it must get very hot in the summer. Not able to make tea/coffee in the room.
