Moxy Lyon Airport

8/10 Good
"Phenomenal location - just a 5 minute walk to security. Good solid hotel - nothing spectacular, but the location was perfect. Also, the restaurant was surprisingly good - I had a very good dinner and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff - both desk and restaurant - were fantastic. If I'm ever flying in and out of Lyon again, I will definitely stay here."

"The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the Gare Part Dieu, so very convenient for the train as well as local busses, metro and trams. It is a 45 minute walk from the old town if you don’t use public transport. The hotel was excellent clean and exactly as it looked on the internet pictures, and the breakfast was good value,, though there are also lots of Patisserie’s near by.Would definitely recommend."

Kyriad Prestige Lyon Est - Saint Priest Eurexpo Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber, aber sehr ringhörig. Unser Zimmer lag im 1. Stock, also genau über der Lobby. In der ersten Nacht habe ich kaum geschlafen, da man immer die Geräusche/Stimmen aus dem Gang, der Lobby und dem Restaurant gehört hat. Das Spa ist klein aber fein. Jedoch sieht man auch, dass es schon etwas älter ist. Auch er Whirpool könnte mal ersetzt werden, der Boden war ganz braun und eine Abdeckung hing nur noch so halb dran. Aber für den Preis kann man nichts sagen. Aber das Superior Zimmer mit Spa Eintritt lohn sich nicht. Es ist günstiger ein normales Zimmer zu buchen und den Spa Eintritt extra zu bezahlen."
