Property was very nice. Good food. Great staff. Little oasis in a bit of an odd area. But very convenient to travel around the city.

Keystone Hôtel & Spa
An ideal hotel in the heart of Lyon. Room was large enough for 2 people and very comfortable. The staff were attentive to our requests. The hotel has a resto in the premises and good eatery options around it. Tram is close by too.
