The room was very spacious and had a handicapped-accessible bathroom. The environment was unbeatable, and the transportation was super convenient, with both the train station and subway station nearby. The only downside was that I requested room cleaning at the front desk, but it wasn't done. Overall, it was a good experience.FromUS$127

3rd arr.La Part-Dieu Lyon|3.23km from city center
The hotel's location is great, just about 100 meters from the subway exit. There's a supermarket about a 5-minute walk away, and during the day, there's a small market near the subway station where you can buy fresh fruit. Being on the main road means you don't have to worry about coming back late at night. The room size was decent, especially considering European rooms tend to be small, and the cleanliness was also good. My only complaint is the terrible soundproofing; you can hear people walking around upstairs very clearly, which made it hard to sleep at night.FromUS$75

2nd arr.La Presqu'ile Lyon|0.64km from city center
The check-in went smoothly until the receptionist told us that we had requested a non-AC room (with the AC to be disconnected during our stay), supposedly based on a note from Trip.com. I told the receptionist that I definitely did not make such a request—especially not in the middle of summer—and asked to see the note from Trip.com.
They couldn’t show me the note and instead claimed that, since I was now denying the request, the note had already been removed.
We were checked into a non-AC room, and the hotel promised to send a technician to reboot the AC. That never happened. Eventually, we were moved to another room where the AC was already functioning.
The whole situation felt suspicious. It seemed like the receptionist was trying their luck by placing us in a non-AC room. What’s even more ironic is that the new room had a welcome note addressed to me, while the non-AC room was completely bare, with no such note.
We definitely won’t be coming back. The hotel staff came across as insincere and pretentious.FromUS$289

Excellent hotel, nothing to complain about the room or the hygiene. The underground parking with valet service is handy (at a correct price). The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only problem we had was the fact that despite an earlier email and the extra specific on the day of our arrival in advance by telephone that we requested a room with 2 beds, this was not taken into account when we arrived at the hotel and we got a room with one ”large” bed. The next day we did get the requested room with 2 beds. For the rest everything was actually perfect!FromUS$139

2nd arr.La Presqu'ile Lyon|0.87km from city center
Thank you so much to Zimo customer service! They even helped clean up afterward. There were a lot of mosquitoes the night we checked in. The reason was that I'd opened the window during the day, but no one warned me. I'm used to opening the window as soon as I walk in, and it ruined my sleep. Fortunately, I negotiated with the front desk and got a room change. I paid cash on the spot, and it was over $100 cheaper than my previous room. It seems Ctrip is being too shady. Also, Ctrip's overseas customer service isn't very helpful; don't count on it; you'll have to rely on yourself! They don't give points for reviews, and I won't post pictures anymore; it wastes my data.FromUS$166

A great stay overall! The location is excellent, surrounded by a good variety of restaurants — perfect for exploring the area. The room came with a handy kitchenette and a free vending coffee machine with a decent selection, which was a nice touch.
The only downside was one of the lifts being out of service, which could cause a bit of a wait during busy times. But aside from that minor inconvenience, everything else was solid. Would recommendFromUS$84

The hotel price was really good and the room was spacious. The only downside was that the entrance was a bit hard to find since it's located inside a shopping mall. However, having KFC and McDonald's nearby was very convenient. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay.FromUS$101

On the hill, the hotel overlooks the old town and the main church, and the scenery is breathtaking. The breakfast is very good, the variety is rich, the fruit is very fresh, and the outdoor dining environment is equally satisfying. The hotel’s Michelin restaurant is also very good, with a historic and historic location in the heart of the city. The outdoor swimming pool is also very beautiful, and you can take a look at the night in the night to enjoy the real night!

Some places are simply unlike anything else, la Suite de l'Île Barbe is one of them. Tucked away on a small island in the middle of the Saône, it feels completely removed from the city despite being just minutes from Lyon. We stayed for a romantic weekend and it exceeded every expectation.
The setting is extraordinary. Waking up surrounded by water and greenery, with nothing but birdsong and the gentle sound of the river, is something you won't find in a conventional hotel. It genuinely feels like you've escaped to another world.FromUS$306
