Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, and I would have given a 10/10 rating, but on the last day one of the front desk gave us wrong information to get to the airport, (there is in fact another route to the airport on Saturdays beside the RhoneExpress). Otherwise the bed was comfy, the room was quiet and we enjoyed our brief stay."
