"Best welcome during our entire stay in France. Room was very good, nice high bed & very good facilities. Bathroom nice & clean, good shower. Fridge, microwave, hob , very good. Breakfast was nice. Carpark nice & safe & good price. Would highly recommend."

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

8/10 Good

"À quelques minutes à pied de la station de train, l’hôtel est bien situé. Les chambres sont propres et bien entretenues et comme l’hôtel est en hauteur, ce n’est pas tres bruyant. Petit déjeuner ok. Pas grand chose à redire sur l’hôtel. Service laisse un peu à désirer notamment à la réception mais outre cela c’est bien."

Apparthôtel Privilodges Lyon

8/10 Good

"One of 3 builings in front of the Hospital. Small but clean room woth safe surrounding. Near center, but not many public transportation nearby. 6~15 minute to walk to catch Metros. Storage is available. Around the corner (20 meter), there is a Carrefour, who sells cooked food discounted during evening hour (close at 21:00)"

Bikube Coliving Hôtel - Lyon Centre Lumière

8/10 Good

"Bel hôtel situé tout près d’un metro, ce qui est utile. Le rapport qualité prix est très bien. Le rooftop est superbe. Petit bémol, le bar/restaurant est fermé le dimanche soir a tenir compte dans notre organisation car plusieurs commerces et restaurants fermes le dimanche."
