"Nous étions avec nos 2 petits enfants dans cet endroit réservé Séjour réservé pour 2 nuits Résultat: Dormit 1 nuit dans notre voiture et rendu le bateau le lendemain matin Difficulté à trouver l'endroit Une passerelle pas sécurisée pour atteindre le bateau Un bateau pour 4 personnes, c'est excessif tant l'espace est petit A l'intérieur des araignées et des toiles partout Une odeur nauséabonde avec des sanitaires précaires, nous devions aller dans des toilettes publiques à la turc, plus...

Top Rhône-Alpes Hotel Reviews

Le Pélican

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the walk to the town."

Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good

"Excellent choice for those that prefer to stay near the train station, for early departures. I can't judge the surrounding area, as I was there during the student riots in Lyon, and everything in the center was closed. The room was very nice, comfortable bed. On site restaurant wasn't very good. Only a few menu options, and food was mediocre. However, due to the student riots, with all other restaurants in the immediate area closed, there was a long line for tables at the hotel's restaurant, and staff performed magnificently. No tables left in the restaurant, they sat overflow in the lounge, and took orders without much of a wait."

Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, well placed to enjoy all that Lyon has to offer. Modern, clean and well equipped. The bedroom was a good size and the hotel has good sound-proofing. Breakfast was excellent with standard hotel offerings plus some local produce. Located a short distance from the banks of the Rhône in the new town, we were able to access everywhere on foot easily and, while the old town may be more photogenic, it can feel a bit touristy; we preferred being slightly outside and eating where the locals ate. Would be happy to stay there again in the future."
