Top Old Lyon Hotel Reviews

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

8/10 Good

"Hotel is located at the top of the hill and has easy car parking. It is quite a steep walk down to town though so may not be suitable for everyone. Rooms were large and clean and location suited us well. Lovely views over Lyon"

Le Phenix Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean and friendly hotel in convenient location for transport and several places of interest. Room we had in building C was dull, lacked natural lighting and artificial lighting was inadequate. No hot drinks facilities in room or drinking water, however cold still and sparkling jugs of water were available free of charge from the bar. Staff were friendly and spoke good English."

Mercure Lyon Centre Château Perrache

10/10 Excellent

"Great historic building, with superb public transport options within metres. Rooms are a good size, and comfortable. Good modern bathroom an suite. An excellent breakfast buffet, with lots of choice. We also used the restaurant, which offered good options at reasonable prices. All the staff we mer, were friendly, bright, and helpful."

Kyriad Prestige Lyon Est - Saint Priest Eurexpo Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent ! Nous avons passé une nuit d’étape dans ce très bel hôtel pour prendre l’avion le lendemain, c’est devenu rare en France dans cette gamme. Tout est au rdv pour être qualifié excellent : confort, propreté, calme, accueil, prestations. Je recommande fortement ! Rien à redire ! Il faut être véhiculé pour y venir. (Un seul bémol c’est la moquette qui fait éternuer les personnes soumises aux allergies)"

Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

10/10 Excellent

"We loved how this place was at the centre of the hub of Lyon and everything is very accessible by it’s proximity to train stations, buses and trans right in front of the Hotel, main shopping centre, Westfield and La Fayette mall. The place is very clean, comfortable beds, the staffs were very friendly, easy to ask favors from, Service oriented. The proximity to food stores and restaurants are also very close which make it a very convenient place to stay whilst in Lyon, Overall we highly recommend this place especially if you are on a budget."
