Good thing we didn't allow ourselves to be swayed by some of the negative reports, because this hotel is a little gem. Room was spacious and facing the church courtyard. Breakfast buffet worthy of a more expensive establishment. And centrally located as well.

Very good hotel for business trips! comfortable rooms, good location, getting renovations done so some working in progress. very nice staff, dinner not the best but breakfast good enough even tho not much choice. would not stay there with family for a longer stay but a weekend should be fine.

This hotel isn't the best hotel ur going to find, but it serves it's purpose. if you are looking to stay in Lyon for a while, then I wouldn't recommend it. If you're looking for a place to crash for a day , then yea - it'll do. Breakfast wasn't ready at the time indicated in the morning. Elevator's are... More

Good location: 150m from the Perrache (TGV) train station. But not very convenient coming from the city centre, as you have to go through the station to get back to the hotel. There's a covered parking next to the station with a preferential rate when staying at the hotel. We had no problems finding a parking space in a side... More

We were very disappointed about this Best Western Hotel. First of all, the location is not great. The hotel is located just south of Gare Perrache in a neighborhood with a lot of prostitution in the street. If you go downtown at night, you always have to cross the station which is known for being not safe at night. The... More

stayed here for a night on business. It's a good, practical choice in a convenient location. The rooms are a decent size, you don't pay over the odds for what you get and the breakfast is good. Not the kind of hotel you remember for the rest of your life but you won't regret it

Decor tacky, no bar fridge and the walk to city centre a bit concerning. Breakfast was good but the restaurant stated fir dinner French cuisine, chops and vegetables, I cook better at home.

The hotel is in a very good position, close to the station, the metro, 15 minutes of walk from the old town. It has a restaurant (even though I didn't try it), in august the parking space in front of the hotel is free. The room is slightly little, the bath is BIG, the hotel is clean. I've payed 60... More

All you would expect of a Best Western franchise. Not particularly friendly or with large rooms but ours had a front balcony and was well equiped and well positioned in a street where the tram service ran. Just up the road (5 mins) was a Mainline Station with Underground railway platforms. Free parking is advertised at the hotel but you'll... More
