Citadines Presqu'île Lyon

10/10 Excellent

"Right in the center of so many shops, restaurants and bars. Walkable to many attractions such as place Bellecour, both rivers, the basilica and the cathedral. Very convenient location. Room was very comfortable. Big comfortable bed and a functional mini kitchen that was convenient to have some snacks and leftovers."

Intercontinental Lyon Hotel Dieu by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice property. Some rooms are on the small side but bathrooms big. High end finish. We were in 147 once and it had a few stairs inside the room and it was very small. We also had 225 and it was bigger with no stairs. There were a couple of mtce issues in my room but they were fixed within 2 hours. One issue when I tried for early check in they said they would call when room was ready. When I asked at 3:00 pm my key was ready in a box of other keys and luggage was in room. I wonder for How long. The breakfast buffet is good."
