Hotel De Verdun 1882 BW Signature Collection

"The hotel is a very nice boutique hotel with about 30 rooms. Originally a large rich private home, operating as hotel 100+ years. Fully refurbished about 5 years ago. Nice location. Christophe on front desk is very helpful has been there s long time. Stayed 2 nights as break from Madrid to Milan. Loved the funicular in the old town and Basilica notre dame at top, walking around old town and james joyce irish pub in old town. Ate at Ramen restaurant 1 block from hotel. I saw a self service laundromat 1 block from hotel. Many machines. Back to hotel. Hotel very clean. Contemporary. Comfortable bed and plenty hot water Breakfast is limited but high quality. Easier to eat in hotel in my opinion. Although i rated hotel a 5 , I do have a few negative comments. We prefer to stay in hotels that do not allow pets. The BW website still lists this hotel “as pets not accepted”. We saw a dog there 2 days. We also saw a dog in breakfast eating area. My wife and french woman sitting next to her did not appreciate dog in breakfast area. Also there is no english speaking tv channel. Not british tv or cnn international. Suggest you add at least 1 for english speakers. Owners sent us email but i never had opportunity to meet or talk with owner. I was surprised in small hotel , one of owners not visible. Although I rated a 5, i would not stay again. We prefer no pets in hotel other than service animals and especially in breakfast eating arrangements We were told policy changed 3 months earlier to allow pets. Suggest you change policy back to not accept pets. If not you should update BW website to clearly communicate you now allow pets. Our only issue was the new pet policy that is not to this day communicated on the BW website."

"A wonderful, friendly, cosy hotel with a fabulous location. All staff were unfailingly helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Ideally, we would like the rate to include breakfast. We had breakfast one morning, and it is very good quality, but seems a little expensive, given the very many options available nearby as alternatives."

"Hotel de Verdun 1882 is a charming and comfortable hotel in a beautifully renovated old building. It is located very close to public transport and within walking distance of the main attractions of Lyon. The Christmas Market was in the next square. Our bedroom was comfortable and well equipped. Without exception, the staff were friendly and informative. There is an optional breakfast served in the reception lobby which we had on three of our five mornings. The wide choice of food was of very high quality (much of it organic and locally sourced)."
