Country Houses in Saône-Beaujolais

"Hôtel de Congrès is in a slightly interesting area - some good transport connections but it's not the easiest hotel to get to. It's in the middle of a housing estate which you have to climb stairs up to (and then work out which way to go to get to the actual entrance of the hotel). The staff are very helpful although early check-in for us didn't happen: we were able to use a loo in the hotel and leave our suitcases before heading back out for the afternoon. Reception is open all night. Breakfast is from 6:30 every day - this was good as we checked out early but were able to eat before we left. Really nice food and a good selection of it including viennoiseries, cereal, bread, fresh fruit and yogurts, crepes and a really nice range of juices and water."

"Stayed in a suite which had a kitchen and two bedrooms. Great for staying with small children. Kids loved the breakfast. Location was great for the park."

"Lovely hotel in a great location for a short trip to Lyon. The hotel smells amazing, the staff were lovely and the room was a good size with a comfy bed."

"The facilities are great but the way they run them is terrible. In house restaurant is unbelievably slow, plan at least 1h per course, if you get it at all. If you eat outdoors, expect to be surrounded by pigeons. You can't use the spa if your swim suit isn't tight enough for the staff to see your balls, and if you didn't book spa access in advance, you need to pay twice: 45 euros for the evening you arrive, and another 45 euros for the next morning if you want to use it before check out, because they charge by calendar day. And you can't use the pool at 1st may weekend, one of their busiest times, because they only open it 3 days later. Our dining experience: We were 4 adults with 3 kids under 5 between us. Staff were good at helping with seating arrangements, but oblivious to the fact that families don't want a 4h dining experience. We got the house 3 course menu, main course showed up 1.5h in, after that they left us staring at our empty plates for over half an hour with no desert in sight. Kids in our party got increasingly cranky (they were good for 2h, but the waiters went AWOL), so had to leave and haggle with manager over bill. Not what you expect from a hotel that is supposed to help people relax. Only positive things i can say is breakfast is good and rooms are clean. That would be ok for a 2* business hotel, but in a 4* Wellness hotel you expect the other stuff to work too."

"Très pratique d avoir une cuisinette dans la chambre et près de tout les attractions "

"Anyone going to Lyon should stay here. Beautiful area with a gorgeous park and zoo across the road, Beautiful restaurants around the hotel and inside it. Amazing staff, big room with beautiful park views. Really loved this hotel! And the price is excellent for what you get."

"The Chateau is beautiful in all respects. The Chateau itself is wonderfully preserved, the rooms are spacious with views of the vineyards, the staff is exceptional (we were on the second floor and they helped carry our heavy cases upstairs with a smile!) and the grounds are stunning. The wine tasting is a must do - with an ontological experience before the tastings - and the wines are great. Highly recommend. "

"Séjour magnifique au cœur du Vieux Lyon. Personnel accueillant, petite chambre très confortable et impeccable. Endroit idéal pour découvrir Lyon, tout se fait à pied. De la Saon au Rhône vous découvrirez des endroits magnifiques. De bonnes tables et des lyonnais très accueillant."

"Wonderful staff, very helpful and especially patient with other guests who didn’t know how to behave. Nice upgraded room with view of the river. Only problem was the elevator broke but the helped move our luggage down two flights of stairs. This is a great location if you are visiting old town. Everything is within walking distance. I wish they had access cards instead of old fashioned keys, I’m not sure what the charm of metal keys is. Also, the doors to the rooms tend to slam shut with great force so we were woken early by several not so considerate guests…. Overall a great pick, staff made it very easy."
