Félix dOrt

The host was very welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed the simple, French breakfast provided. The host asked my preference for a morning pastry (i.e., pain au chocolat, croissant), and drinks, baguette, yogurt, fruits, and other items were available as well. The room was comfortable and the neighborhood was central - close to Gare de Lyon Part Dieu and a short walk to the main touristic areas. I enjoyed being in a neighborhood which felt like an authentic Lyonnaise community.

Nothing. My stay was very enjoyable.

This hotel was a nice surprise. Room was very nice, especially the bathroom. Breakfast was great. Kitchen next door had a little conservatory attached. Manager was very helpful and friendly. Despite busy street outside, our room was quiet and peaceful. It was only a 15-20 minute walk into the city and river.

The top two floors of the building are residential so there was a bit of noise early in the mornings. I would have liked a kettle in the kitchen area for making tea and coffee, but that's just me.

Very friendly staff, helped us when we were very tired after a long flight. Quirky hotel, very small, more interesting than staying in a big bland hotel. Great shower. Location was good, Lyon is easy to get around using public transport. Closest station was an easy 5 or 10 minute walk.

Some other reviewers said the breakfast was amazing. It was OK, not amazing. Breakfast room is small and awkward, really only one person can use it at time. But the food was fine.

So glad we booked in advance because Felix Dort was fully booked the night we arrived. It's a large, old-fashioned house with 6 ensuite guest bedrooms, about 15 minutes walk from Lyon Part Dieu station. We received a mobile phone message in English before arrival confirming property access details. Room Lugdunum (Roman name for Lyon) was a good size, with twin beds and we both slept very well (don't worry, they have electric bedside lamps, not the decorative candles in the photo!). Good ensuite shower, w.c. and washbasin, but the shower cubicle was a bit small for Mr (he is over 6ft tall). Good continental breakfast choices included in the price, and as requested we made our choices of breakfast food, drinks, and timing on the sheet of paper offered on arrival. Each room received its choices of breakfast, on large separate trays, to individual tables in the breakfast room/conservatory, at the time requested (what a sensible system!). Friendly, helpful staff speak French and English. Paid on arrival with my UK card. We like to choose small hotels and guest houses, and it's been difficult for them during the pandemic, so we wish Felix Dort well.

A warm welcome and great hospitality.

It wasn't that hot outdoors (mid-20s in the evening), but the room was noticeably hotter well into the night. It wasn't really feasible to open the windows, which would have let in the street lighting and the noise of relatively light traffic and people passing a few metres away. The little fan on the mantelpiece didn't cool the air but rather noisily recycled it, so perhaps it could be replaced by a stronger, air-cooling fan. This was a relatively minor inconvenience in an otherwise lovely stay.

Staff is very friendly and careful with your needs. Breakfast has also everything you need depending on your preferences. Good location if you're coming by train, aprox 20 min walk to train station.

Just be aware that the building/room is not so soundproofed, but this can be solved with some earpads if you have noisy neighbours :)

Quirky small hotel. Although not in the centre there is a metro 5 mins away and local shops and a couple of good restaurants. Also felt safe as mire than one security coded entrance. Lovely owner and team...so friendly!

Room a bit warm despite the fan. Otherwise nothing.

Nice stay, in a quiet area of Lion. Easy walking distance from the centre. Room was small but comfortable and breakfast with a good choice of products.

The host was very welcoming and the check-in was easy - we were sent details by text and email efficiently. The room was nicely furnished with character and taste.

We would have preferred a shower rather than a bath, although there was a shower attachment.

Kindness of the host, cleanliness, rooms

Absence of a private area for luggage storing and absence of a chair to work ok the pc
