Reviews of The Ruck Hotel
María Menéndez-Blanco
Super friendly staff both in the reception and at breakfast. Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. This was our second year staying at this hotel and they were so nice to reserve the same room as the previous year without asking. Comfortable underground parking. There is a metro station just outside, which takes you to the center in 15min.
Alexis Ferris Bridoux
A great hotel. The staff is very attentive and super nice. They are not only kid friendly but dog friendly. The hallways are a little dark but the overall vibe of the hotel is lovely.

We made an unplanned stop in Lyon at the Hotel Ruck due to a car breakdown. A big praise and thank you for the friendliness and support. Everyone here was very nice and helpful from the security to the reception and the service in the restaurant 5 stars :-) Merci
Cubical
The room was spacious with an incredibly comfortable bed, and the underground parking made things super convenient. It was an easy drive to the Confluence shopping center, which has a nice variety of dining options. If you're staying over the weekend, don't miss the Sunday brunch, definitely worth it. The hotel staff were excellent, though the restaurant team could use a bit of improvement. Overal...

The rooms are pretty and calm, clean and cleaned everyday. The location is perfect, next to metro that goes everywhere in Lyon. The service provided is excellent and staff is friendly. The breakfest is a buffet (the best) and the evening dinner choice are good. I will be back there everytime when i'm in Lyon.
