Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
This is a very basic hotel and the price is right. I was very happy that they had a parking available for a fee for the car in the garage. I must admit the breakfast buffet was amazing

Campanile Lyon Centre-Berges du Rhône
The location was perfect for crossing the bridges over the Rhône and to dine out. It was just a 20-minute walk to the funicular to ride up to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral for a view of Lyon and to see the Roman ruins. The bed was big and super comfortable. Great place to relax.

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon
Such a beautiful place to stay. Wonderful staffs and the breakfast is amazing. The room was spacious but with a bit funky layout. The SPA is a bit small and wish it is hotter . But we really appreciate the beautiful setting and stay.

Grand Hotel Des Terreaux
Excellent location in the middle of everything, and great staff. The "groto" pool at the end of the day was an added treat.
