Top hotels in Lyon City Centre
Campanile Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
The breakfast was great, the staff was nice and the room clean. However, it smelt bad in the room throughout my stay; I'm quite sure that it's not due to hygiene but more to sewage lift but still, not pleasant. Maybe put some home perfume?

Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
Room was clean and staff were very friendly. The location was perfect to get around and explore the city. The only thing I would say is it would be nice for enough tea and coffee in the room for 2 people. Breakfast was filling and great for the price.
