Top hotels in 8th Arrondissement
Appart'hôtel Odalys City - Bioparc Lyon Est
Lovely apartment hotel on the outskirts of Lyon. We are a family of 4 and it was nice to have a separate bedroom. Reception staff really helpful with directions and places to visit in Lyon. The metro is walkable in 7 mins, with easy direct trains into Lyon in 15/20 mins. Would definitely stay here ...

Lagrange Apart'HOTEL Lyon Lumière
The location isn't the best, although there's a metro station nearby that takes you to the center of Lyon. When I arrived, the parking garage door was broken, and I had to leave my car on the street for the first night. The staff wasn't very professional.
