Top 1st Arrondissement Hotel Reviews

Intercontinental Lyon Hotel Dieu by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room - nice river view. Staff was super helpful. Breakfast options were nice - pretty decent for a day start. Hotel is well within walking distance to a lot of sights to see - and is also very conveniently located close to metro stops for additional transportation options."

NH Lyon Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location; clean and well maintained. Decent restaurant as well. Special mention to Madam Laurence and the other staff at the reception who were very helpful when I needed to extend the stay due to a medical emergency affecting my husband - happened on August 30th at the airport shuttle bus stop."

Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good

"This is a clean and convenient no frills budget hotel. It suited us fine for a night in Lyon with an early train the next day. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was nice quality. Shower was good. Reception was pleasant and efficient. Room was compact. No tea or coffee facilities. Everything was clean - corridor carpets a bit grubby. Very close to the station but no train noise in our room. Decent value for a big city. Absolutely fine for a short stay"

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was set in the right part of Lyon and very convenient. It has the quaintness of an older hotel, but the ways of a new one. Our room is full of light and had a quaint little fireplace in it. The only drawback was we were right next to the hotel Sign so the room was lit all night otherwise very lovely and the people were very kind."
