Top Old Lyon Hotel Reviews

Le Phenix Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Front Desk staff were charming, kind and totally accommodating. I arrived an hour before check-in, but they discovered my room was ready and let me check in immediately! The room and bathroom were spotless. I enjoyed a wonderful bath in the extra-deep tub. I have rarely felt as relaxed and content as I do now, after my stay at the Hôtel Phénix!!!"

Campanile PRIME - Lyon Centre Gare Part Dieu

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the Gare Part Dieu, so very convenient for the train as well as local busses, metro and trams. It is a 45 minute walk from the old town if you don’t use public transport. The hotel was excellent clean and exactly as it looked on the internet pictures, and the breakfast was good value,, though there are also lots of Patisserie’s near by.Would definitely recommend."

Kyriad Prestige Lyon Est - Saint Priest Eurexpo Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber, aber sehr ringhörig. Unser Zimmer lag im 1. Stock, also genau über der Lobby. In der ersten Nacht habe ich kaum geschlafen, da man immer die Geräusche/Stimmen aus dem Gang, der Lobby und dem Restaurant gehört hat. Das Spa ist klein aber fein. Jedoch sieht man auch, dass es schon etwas älter ist. Auch er Whirpool könnte mal ersetzt werden, der Boden war ganz braun und eine Abdeckung hing nur noch so halb dran. Aber für den Preis kann man nichts sagen. Aber das Superior Zimmer mit Spa Eintritt lohn sich nicht. Es ist günstiger ein normales Zimmer zu buchen und den Spa Eintritt extra zu bezahlen."

Mercure Lyon Centre Château Perrache

10/10 Excellent

"We chose the hotel due to close proximity to the Parrache station , it’s good reviews and price. It is located in a beautiful old chateau style building, The interior was an architectural gem. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend."
