Campanile Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
Personnel très courtois pour une très bonne chambre rapport qualité-prix, je conseille fortement!

Campanile Lyon Centre-Berges du Rhône
The location was perfect for crossing the bridges over the Rhône and to dine out. It was just a 20-minute walk to the funicular to ride up to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral for a view of Lyon and to see the Roman ruins. The bed was big and super comfortable. Great place to relax.
