Ibis Budget Lyon Confluence
Ibis Budget Lyon Confluence"It’s a very clean hotel and well-maintained. It was convenient to get to with public transit to and from Part Dieu train station, and there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel that gets you to Place Bellecour and close to Vieux Lyon. We’d stay here again. The only problem was that one of the young women at the front desk was very sour when we checked in. All other staff were great!"
"Very nice place to stay, pool not opening until 2 pm is a slight downside but understandable. Would be nicer if the hotel rooms had a bit of a refresh."
