Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Villeurbanne
For most travelers arriving in the region, Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS) is the primary and most practical gateway. Located near Lyon, it offers the fastest access to Villeurbanne via the Rhônexpress train. While this airport is in a neighboring area rather than Villeurbanne itself, its excellent connectivity makes it the standard choice. The other airports serve different nearby cities and are generally less convenient for reaching Villeurbanne directly. Saint-etienne-Boutheon Airport (EBU) in Saint-Étienne provides a secondary option, useful if you find specific flight deals, though it requires a train or coach connection. Grenoble Airport (GNB), Le Puy - Loudes Airport (LPY), and Dole–Jura Airport (DLE) serve their respective cities and are significantly further away, making them suitable mainly for those specifically traveling to those outlying areas or when regional airfare is significantly cheaper. Always check direct regional train links for these smaller airports, as they can sometimes offer a more scenic, if slower, alternative to private transfers.

Quiet hotel with excellent amenities in a residential area for ”ordinary” people. Excellent tram and bus connections: Lyon's public transport system is excellent. The hotel's main entrance is easiest to reach by car. From the bus or tram stop, the road leads uphill and then back down again by public elevator. To reach the hotel, you have to walk around the hotel on level 0. An advantage of the rooms is that the toilet and shower are in two separate areas. Friendly, customer-focused staff. Communication in English is easy.FromUS$71

The hotel desperately needs a renovation. It doesn't deserve 3 stars.
The staff are very friendly, and thankfully they're there.
Breakfast is expensive, though the selection is decent. The appliances are outdated (the toaster doesn't work, and the coffee machine is only partially functional). The young woman is doing her best to manage everything. Thank you to her.FromUS$61
