Top 2nd Arrondissement Hotel Reviews

Carlton Hotel Lyon - MGallery Collection

8/10 Good

"Hotel has great location and pleasant rooms with A/C. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. The main challenge for me was the elevator, there is a single elevator for the whole hotel that serves 4 levels. We had often to climb by stairs four levels as it was busy or broken in the last night. Team however took care of luggage. Vallet service for the car was flawless as well as restaurant reservations. Breakfast was great, we have enjoyed it a lot. Last comment is about the cost which was pretty high, would recommend to compare before booking. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much."

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."

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."

Novotel Lyon Centre Confluence Bord de Saone

8/10 Good

"The hotel is good for a few days, but the staff forgets to refill the soap even after I mentioned it to the front desk, and to lock the bed properly (the bed goes up) more than twice. The advance check-in and easy check-out are appreciated; the staff is friendly and willing to help."
