Philippe S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear Mr S., Thank you for your message, and for the kind words about the cleanliness of the room and about our team. We are glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of La Croix-Rousse during your business trip, and that you would be happy to come back. We are sorry that the bed did not give you the night’s rest you were hoping for. The way your double bed was made up, with two mattresses under a single sheet, clearly affected your comfort, and your remark is noted with care. You also asked how to get a double bed with a single mattress next time. We cannot promise it for every room, but we would gladly look at what is possible. As you booked through a travel agency, it would help to write to us at hc… with your dates and your request, so that we can check it with you before your arrival. Thank you for your loyalty as a Silver member. We hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Lyon. Kind regards, The Fort Saint Laurent team

Everything about this hotel was excellent! We had a corner room that overlooked Lyon on two sides. The room itself was pristine. Breakfast was great and the terrace was a nice place to have a drink and something to eat (limited selection). The hotel was conveniently located to many interesting historical sites and we took a walking tour where we met our guide only a 10 min walk away. Overall, a great experience!

Andrew S. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed in the junior suit, which had lovely views over the Rhone & the city. The views were incredible & access to the city was relatively easy though a few steps on the way back! The Croix Rousse district is out the back from the hotel & has many good restaurants to choose from, plus the Metro station. The Metro system is good & easy to use. We got a Lyon City Card for the first 3 days, which gave us free travel in the city & access to museums etc. Plenty to see & do including food & vineyard tours, history, museums & art galleries. The hotel offered a very good buffet breakfast & the staff were very helpful & friendly. The room was generally clean with a good sized bathroom. The one criticism was the rug at the end of the bed. It was curling up at the corners & not the cleanest. For any hotel, especially when paying the money we were, there should be something far nicer in place. So lose the rug. If you take that point on board we would gladly be back. In all a great week in Lyon.

Dear Mr. S., Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your week in Lyon, particularly the exceptional views from the Junior Suite, our location in Croix-Rousse, the breakfast and the warm, helpful attitude of both our breakfast and reception teams. We are genuinely sorry about the condition of the rug in your room. Your comment is very clear, and we fully understand your disappointment given the level of comfort and care we aim to provide throughout the hotel. We will review this item with our housekeeping and management teams, as it should indeed be consistent with the overall standard of the room. We are pleased to hear that this was the main point that fell short during an otherwise enjoyable stay, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to Lyon and show you that we have taken your feedback on board. Warm regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team

I have my preferred hotel in Lyon, but wanted to try something new, and this hotel looked like an interesting choice. Alas, the overall experience was a bit disappointing. Parking is cumbersome. I don't mind that it's not at the hotel, but the whole process of getting out after check-out takes a lot of time, as it is a big detour to bring back the parking card. Breakfast is great, but also overengineered. Extra plates and bowls were either well hidden or not available, the orange juice squeezer was a pain to use, and you had to ask for a second coffee/drink. Another eyebrow-raising moment came at check-out, when I was told I would receive the invoice only after room service had checked the room. This had never happened to me before and felt a bit distrustful. Regardless, there was no sign of the invoice until I made an inquiry. For whatever reasons I did not get the welcome drink until I asked for it. Sadly, the staff at the bar probably was unaware of such a thing as they tried to charge me regardless of the voucher. Overall, the hotel has stunning views and modern, quiet rooms, and I can see the potential, but also big room for improvement to make the stay a smoother sailing. However, at the moment, there are more convenient places to stay in this price range in Lyon.

Dear Sir, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us. We are genuinely pleased that you enjoyed the character of Fort Saint Laurent, the beautiful views over Lyon, and the peaceful comfort of your room. We are sorry, however, that several aspects of your stay did not feel as smooth as they should have. We particularly take note of your comment regarding your Platinum status: even when an upgrade is not possible, we should take the time to explain the situation and make our loyal guests feel properly recognised. We have also noted your feedback regarding the parking, the breakfast organisation and, above all, your departure. The delay in receiving your invoice, as well as the handling of your welcome drink, did not reflect the level of attention we wish to provide. Thank you for these very specific comments, which give us clear areas to work on with our teams. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Lyon and, on that occasion, provide you with a smoother, warmer experience that better reflects the standards we aim for. Warm regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team

Not much to say, we loved everything and especially the staff on all levels: from the reception to the restaurant crew, the chef and housekeeping. But also the building, the view the location. If i ever come bsck to Lyon, i know where to stay.

Your kind words about our reception, breakfast team, chef and housekeeping team will be shared with everyone. We are especially pleased to hear that our chef was so accommodating each morning, this kind of personal attention is exactly the spirit of hospitality we want to create.

Maelle S. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very nice renovation and location, the view over the city is outstanding and the historical building is astonishing. However the service and the refinement of the room were not at the level of a 4-star hotel to me. Too simple furniture, damaged walls and humidity in the bathroom. Fee of 22€/night for the dog but no service with it. The value for money is not so good, maybe worth going only for lunch, dinner or drinks if you want to enjoy the view.

Dear Mrs S. Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are pleased that the setting of the Fort, its historical character, the renovation and the views over Lyon made a strong impression on you. We are also especially grateful for your kind words about our breakfast and rooftop bar teams; we will be sure to share your compliments with them. That said, several aspects of your stay clearly fell short of the level of comfort and service you expected from a four-star property, and we are sorry about this. Your comments regarding the condition of the walls and, in particular, the humidity and mould in the bathroom are concerning. This is not the level of maintenance and attention to detail we wish to offer our guests, and your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams. We also understand your disappointment regarding the arrangements for your dog. As explained in our previous exchange, the €22 nightly pet fee primarily covers the additional cleaning required after stays with pets. We nevertheless regret that the amenities you were expecting, such as the bowl and bed, were not provided in your room, and we understand your frustration regarding the absence of assistance with your luggage your rating for the departure experience particularly stands out to us and we should have been more attentive to your needs at that moment, and we regret that you did not receive the level of personal service you have come to expect from a four-star hotel. We truly appreciate your candid feedback. It is encouraging to know that the historical setting, the renovation and several members of our team left a positive impression, while your comments also give us concrete areas where we need to improve. We hope that, should you choose to visit us again, we will have the opportunity to provide you with an experience that is much more in keeping with the standards we strive to uphold. Warm regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team

Stayed here for 3 nights in September 26 with my husband and was really looking forward to the trip was we were staying in a junior superior suite and the pictures looked lovely, but do not believe it was worth the money we paid. Upon arrival the room needed some maintenance and more attention to detail. The rug was stained and once cream, but now grey, there were long black hairs all over the floor, the paint was peeling off the ceiling in the bathroom and the shower gel had run out. There was also a panel in the bedroom area covered with cardboard and tape. Nothing wrong with checkin or staff on site, and was a 10 to 15 minute walk from everything.

The staff were great and the view is lovely. After that, everything else is below average. Our room was quite small with the toilet at one side of the room and the sink about 5 metres away on the opposite wall so you had to walk all the way across the room, skirting around the bed, to wash your hands. Then the corner of the room was taken up with the shower. Meaning there was no bathroom area to towel off. The electronics were ‘quirky’ still not totally sure how the lights worked and the sockets were not in handy places like by the bed. The wifi just didn’t work. Quite frankly I’ve had much better rooms at holiday inn at a fraction of the cost we paid and I’m thankful we only stayed for one night. Breakfast was a nice selection however we asked for gluten free bread. While this wasn’t a problem in itself, by the time the 3 rock hard tiny loaves came we had long finished our meal. Overall the experience was not worth €150 never mind the €220 we had to pay. If you want to see the view go for a drink on the terrace but don’t waste money staying - it adds nothing to your experience.

Dear M. J., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased that you appreciated the warm welcome from our team, the views and the breakfast selection. We are nevertheless sincerely sorry that your stay did not live up to your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the comfort and practicality of your room, as well as the service you experienced at breakfast. Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us identify areas where we can improve. We regret that, despite our hotel’s unique setting, we were unable to provide you with an experience that fully justified your expectations. We hope you may give us another opportunity to offer you a more enjoyable stay in the future. Kind regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team

Great hotel — if you don’t actually want to use it. The room and facilities are excellent, and breakfast is very good. The ladies serving breakfast are also genuinely lovely and deserve a mention. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives rather end. What the hotel conveniently forgets to tell you is that, despite paying €700 for two nights, you may not actually be able to sit on your own terrace and enjoy the views. The terraces are overrun with non-residents, leaving paying guests struggling to find somewhere to sit. When we did manage to order drinks, they took 25 minutes to arrive. To make matters worse, there was a party on both Friday and Saturday nights, meaning the lower terrace was unavailable to hotel guests. The booming music continued until at least midnight. So, a hotel that is wonderful during the day becomes something of a nightmare in the evening. It’s difficult to understand why you pay €700 for two nights, only to discover that the facilities you have paid to use are effectively unavailable to you. Great during the day. A nightmare in the evenings. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful where paying guests actually get priority, choose elsewhere.

Dear M. M., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased that you appreciated the comfort of our rooms, the quality of our facilities and breakfast, as well as the kindness of our breakfast team. We will be sure to pass on your compliments to them. However, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. The noise associated with the evening events and the temporary unavailability of certain communal areas do not reflect the experience we aim to provide our hotel guests. These situations are not commonplace, and we regret that they affected your ability to fully enjoy our terraces and the peaceful setting of our property. We also apologise for the waiting time you experienced when ordering drinks. We understand your disappointment, particularly given your expectations for your stay, and take your comments seriously. We are sorry that these exceptional circumstances overshadowed the positive aspects of your visit. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and offer you a more relaxing experience, allowing you to fully appreciate the unique setting of the Fort Saint Laurent. Kind regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team

At the first night my partner woke up at 4am with a big rush on his skin, we were scared it was bad bugs, later on turns out there were no insects, we are still not sure what caused it , maybe detergents used for the bed sheet. The next morning we were woken up at 7am as somebody was moving the trash boxes - the noise lasted 15 minutes. The breakfast was ok, but arriving at 9:30 we heard that there is not much thing left as it’s late + the were no vegetables as there was not delivery at that date… a little bit dissapointing experience

Dear Ms W., Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased that you appreciated the setting of our hotel and the comfort and spaciousness of our rooms. We are truly sorry for the concerns and inconvenience you experienced during your stay. As soon as you informed us about your partner’s skin reaction, we took your concerns very seriously and urgently called in a specialist to inspect the room and confirm that there was no evidence of bed bugs. We also took care to relocate you to a suite at no additional cost, in order to offer you greater peace of mind and comfort for the remainder of your stay. We also regret the early morning noise and your disappointment with the breakfast selection. We understand that these elements affected your overall experience, and your comments will be shared with our teams so that we can review the points raised. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a more enjoyable and reassuring experience.

What I particularly like about Fort St Laurent is its amazing location and breathtaking views, combined with the charm of the historic building. I also really like the very minimalist design of the rooms, which suits my personal taste perfectly. The Sothys bath amenities are excellent, the breakfast is of very high quality, and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. It is a place I genuinely look forward to returning to whenever I am in Lyon.

Reception staff too busy having a chat to actually welcome and greet paying guest. Car park is not as it’s described and has extra charge and it’s not secure on site. Our room had half eaten cheese in the fridge drinks and snacks it was not clean.. it’s a shame because it’s a great location Lovely comfortable beds and the breakfast was outstanding

Dear Ms G., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at Hôtel Fort Saint Laurent. We are pleased that you appreciated our location, the comfort of our beds and the quality of our breakfast. However, we sincerely regret that other aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding your arrival, the people you saw in the office were the hotel directors attending a scheduled meeting, while our receptionist was assisting another guest. Nevertheless, we are sorry if this resulted in you feeling overlooked, as a warm and attentive welcome is important to us. Concerning the car park, we would like to clarify that, as indicated on our website, it is located outside the hotel and is available at an additional charge. It is equipped with video surveillance, and we regret any misunderstanding regarding this service. Finally, we sincerely apologise for the cleanliness issues in your room, particularly the items left in the refrigerator. This is not in keeping with our standards, and we understand your disappointment. Your feedback is taken seriously and will be shared with our team to ensure the necessary checks are carried out. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much more satisfying experience. Kind regards, The Fort Saint Laurent Team
