Top Lyon City Centre Hotel Reviews

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful building and rooms are well laid out. Enjoyed using the pool and bar"

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

8/10 Good

"Hotel in a great location for the old town attractions. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. On the downside, the shower was too compact and no door to retain the water from splashing on the floor. The breakfast offering appear to be limited, if you did not want the continental."

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."

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the breakfast and the room was comfortable but the most important thing to me was the location. The hotel is perfectly situated for access to the main railway station. The tram stopped right outside and took you to the metro line D which went to the old town. Very convenient. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby and Westfield is right outside the door."

Boscolo Lyon Hôtel & Spa

8/10 Good

"I thought the hotel was lovely and the room was beautiful and very spacious. However, when we came in, there were no luggage racks in the room. We had no place to put our two bags. So we called down and waited three hours for luggage racks asking two or three times if they would be up soon. And we thought this was really Not great service."
