Top Lyon Hotel Reviews
Fourvière Hôtel Lyon
"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."
Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
"The hotel is conveniently located near major transportation hubs in Lyon and nearby food options, including the local food market. The hotel and room was kept very cool during the hot summer days and nights. The hotel personnel is very professional and friendly. I highly recommended."
Grand Hotel Des Terreaux
"Great staff and nice bar. Bathroom was a little dusty and dated. The pool was weirdly located in sight of the breakfast room and not ideal for swimming/relaxation. Would be better if the first room had been a changing or entry space. Room was fine."
Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu
"Clean room; staff friendly and helpful."
Pullman Lyon
"Good hotel near train station."
Boscolo Lyon Hôtel & Spa
"We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very centrally located with easy access to Vieux Lyon. The rooms were clean, quiet and well appointed. The staff was very helpful. We had our dig with us and felt welcome with a comfortable dog bed and bowls provided. There is a nice riverside walk nearby to stretch his legs. We thought that the hotel was very good value for money give the amenities (lovely pool and spa area) and the quality of the service. We hope to return in the future."

"Good experience, clean room and friendly staff"
NH Lyon Airport
