Top Lyon Hotel Reviews

Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good

"Clean and large room, friendly staff. Great location for exploring Lyon"

Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good

"Great place if you need to catch an early train. Clean room and comfortable bed"

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

8/10 Good

"Overall good place to stay for two nights visit to Lyon. On top of the city with easy access to the old town and nearby attractions. Very convenient two bedroom suite layout nicely furnished for the family of four. The shower is a bit awkward but that is just a comment. A/C was not working well enough so it was rather warm At night and in tbd morning i figured it out as air filter was completely clogged. That is something hotel should pay attention to. Good restaurant with professional and pleasant waiters. The breakfast is quite good and reasonably priced even though we Hen we were checking in we were said that breakfast is included but it came out later that it was not. Indeed it was not shown in the free perks of VIP access for expedia customers but it was strange to be said that it is free and then that it is not. Pool, and spa area: We were with two kids and couples in the pool kind of shocked our kids from going into the pool as they were acting too expressively what is probably normal for French, I do not know but it made us very uncomfortable."

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

8/10 Good

"The parking is very convenient in the building but very hard to get in and out. Small cars only."
