Top Lyon Hotel Reviews

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

8/10 Good

"Liked this hotel last year but less so this year. Cafe disappointing and staff less helpful. Good location and would stay again."

Grand Hotel Des Terreaux

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay, pool not opening until 2 pm is a slight downside but understandable. Would be nicer if the hotel rooms had a bit of a refresh."

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

10/10 Excellent

"Unique"

Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay with family (8 & 10 year olds). Rooms felt spacious and were clean and very functional. Breakfast was good, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Also ideal for exploring the city."

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

8/10 Good

"The parking is very convenient in the building but very hard to get in and out. Small cars only."

Hôtel Lyon Métropole & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The location is located right in front of a bus stop if you opt to use public transportation. Even though I didn’t use a vehicle, it did appear to have great parking location for guests and a great ambiance place to enjoy. Not far from everything the city has to offer and explore. Easy to get around as well."
