Nice appartment not far for the Metro which could do with a little TLC. Just a bit scruffy but the staff were helpful. Good secure car parking.

A new and clean room and the great location

Campanile Lyon Centre-Berges du Rhône
The location was perfect for crossing the bridges over the Rhône and to dine out. It was just a 20-minute walk to the funicular to ride up to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral for a view of Lyon and to see the Roman ruins. The bed was big and super comfortable. Great place to relax.
