This was the first time we stayed at Novotel in Lyon and as Gold Card members we expected decent treatment but we had an unpleasant surprise when we discovered that the Hotel Vouchers resulting from previous Novotel trips wouldn't be accepted due to a technical blip ( no fault of ours ) and we were made to feel as if...

I had rather low expectations, particularly when viewing the last few reviews. I found this hotel to be pleasant, serviceable, clean. Nicer than expected - about baseline Sheraton nice. Good bed, decent shower. Even a decent gym, with a few cardio options and a multi-station pulley machine for anaerobic. Excellent high-speed WiFi, which is often lacking in mid-range hotels in...

Novotel Gerland is in the Heart of the Gerland Area in Lyon (south of the city) and close to Highway and other parts of the city. It is practical and well equipped but would deserve a refurbishment... Rooms are at Novotel standard and bar is pretty cosy. Friendly staff. More

A fairly standard offering from Novotel. Everything was clean and it all worked reasonably well. Improvements that could be made: - the restaurant is far too small and cramped for breakfast times, PLUS there is only one member of staff on duty; she has to spend all her time cleaning and re-setting tables so she has no time to go...

I have stayed at the Lyon Gerland previously for work reasons but this time was for leisure with my family. We were made extremely welcome by the staff and looked after very well. We had two adjoining rooms which was great and the first night we arrived there was a Champions League (soccer) game being played locally between Real Madrid... More

Everything in our stay was repfect, except, perhaps, of communication with nigth reception personnel, they were unsincerely. Dinner was great, as well as restaurant personnel. But the best of all was breakfast: veriety of hot dishes and sweets (the only missing is vegetables) More

A lovely modern clean contemporary hotel on the outskirts of Lyon. Parking is confusing and did not get our visit off to a good start. Maybe this should be explained to guests on web sites- also the cost is 16 euros per day! However, it is a good secure car park. It is approx a ten minute drive into Lyon-... More

Novotel still suits us the best (family of 4) in price/quality. Novotel Gerland is nicely situated close to the highway, has a nice terrace and swimmingpool, and is a 35 minutes walk from the city centre alongside the river Rhone (10 minutes by taxi). Although the restaurant and bar-area were being refurbished (not indicated when booked - only minuspoint), the... More

When I have too little time to chose a hotel, I always go for a Novotel, especially when it comes to family trips. As expected, the hotel lies in a quite business area as most of Novotels that we stayed in in Europe. The hotel was modern and clean, check-was super fast. The room and bathroom were spotless and the... More
