Top Lyon Hotel Reviews
Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon
10/10 Excellent
"Great location (go through the mall from Part Dieu - don’t follow google maps). About 5 mins from station and 20 mins to river. Room was good but air con wasn’t great - no covers needed at night. Breakfast was one of the best ever (loose leaf green tea, toppings for yoghurt). Loved online check in/out."
Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

ibis Lyon Gare la Part Dieu
10/10 Excellent
"Our hotel room was cozy! But there was room for the two of us and two suitcases. The room is well maintained and clean. The bed was comfy as well. The location is excellent for access to the train station and local metro etc. Easy to get to restaurants, bars, and attractions. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend."
Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
8/10 Good
"Clean and close to SNCF"
Le Phenix Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The staff at Le Phenix are amazing . Always friendly. I felt comfortable with them. They are gracious for we English speakers who have less than rudimentary French (I practiced! Really I did!) The rooms have good AC if necessary. The restaurant associated with the hotel is shockingly good. Such a wonderful lunch! We did not have the breakfast buffet because we eat so light, we did not find value. I do wish there was a hot water kettle in the room. Beds are comfortable. Our room was spacious. Housekeeping services were complete. Room was quiet. The location is convenient to many buses. We walked from Gare de Lyon part- Dieux, but I would recommend the C13 ir the TB 11 for an easier trip if you have bags. The location of Le Phenix is a perfect place to be close to Croix- Rousse, all the 1st and 2nd Arr’nt, the bus to Maison des Canuts, Fourviére, and all of Vieux Lyon. I want to make another shout out to the staff. And oh! The Jambone- Buerre sandwich as a picnic lunch? Just say oui merci!"
Le Royal Hotel Lyon - MGallery Collection

Citadines Part-Dieu Lyon

"It is not clear about the parking. The way you mention parking available let’s suppose the parking is included."
