Where to stay in 2e arrondissement
2e arrondissement hotels & accommodations
Around 20 mins walking distance to shopping area and commercial center The room is very spaicious and the staff are helpful. I love this room very much and I will definitely book this hotel again if I go Lyon again. The only thing is the church nearby rings the bell every hours or every half hour in the morning so if you are easily wake up by sound, you may not able t...
This was my first hotel in France and when I stepped into the room I thought I was starring in a French comedy. The room had a bed and not much space for anything else; and a bathroom smaller than most wardrobes. However, it's surprising what you can get used to and I quickly adapted to the compact and cosy space. The location is excellent, right by the local and regio...
Citadines is located right off the main shopping street. It's just a few blocks in, but it's silent in the rooms , the best of both worlds. We had a kitchen in the room, which was great even though we didn't need it in Lyon! There are tons of bouchons around the area, and it's a quick walk to the riverside. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Wifi was grea...
Hotel is value for money and in good location. Rooms adequately furnished and comfortable. Breakfast was quite a wide spread and promptly refilled. Our positive experience was marred by a couple of counterstaff on our last day: 1. On checking out, Reception claimed that despite our having booked 2 double rooms for 4 including breakfast, we had only paid for one brea...
Helpful staff, great room and fantastic location. We use Aagoda for all our travels and are generally happy because the reviews match our expectations. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be close to the best shops and restaurants. Our room looked down into a large plaza which contained a subway entrance. We would have stayed longer but the hotel was sold out...
good stay in the hotel, with its spacious and clean environment. easily accessible by tram, and with the shopping centre just round the corner. there is also a huge carrefour to buy essential items, as well as a variety of restaurants to fill up the stomach.
the staff of the hotel was really friendly and helpful, and made our first night in our week-long stay in France memorable and exciting. the location was also convenient to shops and historical sites. the room was cosy and clean. in all, I recommend people visiting Lyon to stay at Mercure Lyon Plaza Republique.
This hotel is barely 2 minutes walk to the tram/metro/SNCF/bus station (Perrache). TCL info office is just right on the way, you will be sufficiently informed about the transport options wherever you want to go. It is a 2 star hotel so do not expect too much things: fancy meals, swimming pool, room service etc. If you are only looking for a comfortable room, fast inte...
This is my second stay and its even better than before after undergoing a stylish and graceful renovation. Great value for money with large rooms, great beds and a good breakfast. Staff were helpful and the location is second to none in the heart of Lyon,close to the Tourist Information office. Will definitely stay again if returning to Lyon.
Good things: - great location, immediately above Ampere-Victor Hugo station, with staircase with outside hotel and elevator very close by (within 30 metres) - extremely comfortable bed (firm enough) - large bathroom with heating element - 24hr reception with helpful staff Things that can be improved upon: - shower stall door -- some water tends to leak from under the ...
A delightful boutique hotel surrounded by great restaurants. Walking distance to old Lyon, museums and parks. The rooms are clean and efficient and the staff are friendly and helpful.
It is the perfect hotel to stay in if you plan to explore Lyon. Located near the Lyon Perrache station, you just need to be wary of the signs on which exit you’ll take from the train station. The facilities are great, very clean and very comfortable. The place is spacious and the restaurant serves good food. Also, if you’ll travel by Flix Night Bus, the station would b...
Best location while in Lyon. It’s walking distance to Lyon’s attractions, shops, transportation, restaurants. Bottled water, coffee/tea, happy hour goodies is complimentary. The room, and toilet (love the tiles) is big with french rustic interiors, french window. Basic amenities available - towels, slippers, robe, shampoo, conditioners , bath soap, lotion, showerca...
We spend two nights in this hotel. The overall experience was good. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was quite and safe. The location was quite close to the main attractions of the city and easy to access. The only thing I would like to recommend the management to improve is to give staffs more training on E...
Not easy to access hotel, got off from taxi, had to walk and use stairs through stairs. No free breakfast was offered, at least to me, bed was very uncomfortable, I got pains all over my back, thermos were not able to control, room was very stuffy. Not enough towels or extra trash bag, nothing extra to use
Good location near Gare Perrache. Gentleman who checked us in was fantastic - letting us store our suitcases since we arrived early, and giving us city maps and explaining the different districts in town and how to get to them. Room was very small, but clean.
The hotel was under renovation during our visit in June 2015 so the carpark available was the few ones near the entrance of the hotel. We didn't felt that there were any disturbances from the renovation. The room had a huge bed and a cot for our baby but that left very little space for anything. The room was very modernly designed. In room dining food was not bad. The ...
We stayed for 1 night in Premium room. It was really big and comfortable. But they don't provide shower gel and shampoo as usual in 4 star hotels.
Overnight stay on route to Fréjus, can't comment on facilities as we didn't use any but our room was excellent, we were fortunate to find free parking around the hotel, however there is a car park within eyesight of hotel with discount rates offered by the hotel. We arrived quite late and very tired driving from London, we had prepared food from home for a late evening...
convenient althought I stay only one day , I enjoyed stay at this hotel, the staff is friendly and the location at the center , near many restaurant and walking distance to look for the city
I chose this hotel for its excellent location in central Lyon 2e arrondissement near Bellecour subway station. It's a short walk across the Saone river to the old town in one direction and across the Rhone in the other direction, and there are many excellent restaurants of every kind nearby. The street Hotel Elysee is on reminds me of 5th Ave. NYC for its many high-end...
Excellent. The location is perfect. The hotel is clean and fresh. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It is a classic 3 star hotel, all the basics done well. A great stay.
Hotel is super nice in older building with high ceiling. Room is not the biggest one but it was very cozy and it had some old fashioned romantic charm for sure. All the staff were extremely nice and helpful. Good value for money. I would recommended it.
I really liked the location. About 10-15 minutes walk from Lyon Perrache station (which I prefer way more than the Part-Dieu) and 20 minutes to Hotel de Ville. It is an old building so you do hear the neighbour's door and shower etc, but I guess it is normal in this type of building. Even though it was on the main street, the room was quiet and I slept well. No tea mak...
I booked through Agoda for the price. I cannot believe the price, for 3 nights with breakfast included. I'm not sure if all the rooms are refurbished, but we were in a refurbished room. It was suberb. The fabrics etc were modern and stylish. The room was clean, as was the bathroom. The bathroom seemed to be like a kit bathroom, like an all in cabin that was installed,...
arriving there I had some trouble with me car and the staaf there was immediately there to help me with it. even going with me to the garage and explain the problem. never had experiences anything like that.....also totally trustworthy people there........will definitely go again on my way back....;-)
Loved this hotel from the moment I stepped into it. The decor is fabulous and keeps you engaged. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly and the location is superb. The room, although smaller than expected had an unbelievably comfortable bed. The bathroom however did not have the usual extras like toothbrush and razor. However there were earbuds , cott...
Best Western Lyon Saint Antoine Hotel is situated in the centre of Lyon and just across a footbridge from Old Lyon, so it has an excellent location for sight-seeing. The hotel has not been refurbished recently, but our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful and internet access is free on a hotel computer.

It has been a long time since I have been this content with a hotel. We booked in a rush, but were pleasantly surprised by the quality we found here.
