Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good
"This is a clean and convenient no frills budget hotel. It suited us fine for a night in Lyon with an early train the next day. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was nice quality. Shower was good. Reception was pleasant and efficient. Room was compact. No tea or coffee facilities. Everything was clean - corridor carpets a bit grubby. Very close to the station but no train noise in our room. Decent value for a big city. Absolutely fine for a short stay"

8/10 Good
"Our room was great, with a separate sitting/kitchen area so we could put our baby to sleep and still spend time talking. We had an air-conditioned room and could not imagine having a room without during the heatwave in Lyon. They had the air con running for us and the crib already set up before we got there which was amazing. My only complaint is the shower, no matter how I had the shower curtain positioned, water covered the floors of the bathroom."
