Top 1st Arrondissement Hotel Reviews

The People Lyon

10/10 Excellent

"Personnel accueillant et bienveillant. Situation excellente et installations bien entretenues."

Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, well placed to enjoy all that Lyon has to offer. Modern, clean and well equipped. The bedroom was a good size and the hotel has good sound-proofing. Breakfast was excellent with standard hotel offerings plus some local produce. Located a short distance from the banks of the Rhône in the new town, we were able to access everywhere on foot easily and, while the old town may be more photogenic, it can feel a bit touristy; we preferred being slightly outside and eating where the locals ate. Would be happy to stay there again in the future."

Kyriad Prestige Lyon Est - Saint Priest Eurexpo Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber, aber sehr ringhörig. Unser Zimmer lag im 1. Stock, also genau über der Lobby. In der ersten Nacht habe ich kaum geschlafen, da man immer die Geräusche/Stimmen aus dem Gang, der Lobby und dem Restaurant gehört hat. Das Spa ist klein aber fein. Jedoch sieht man auch, dass es schon etwas älter ist. Auch er Whirpool könnte mal ersetzt werden, der Boden war ganz braun und eine Abdeckung hing nur noch so halb dran. Aber für den Preis kann man nichts sagen. Aber das Superior Zimmer mit Spa Eintritt lohn sich nicht. Es ist günstiger ein normales Zimmer zu buchen und den Spa Eintritt extra zu bezahlen."
