Now there are hotels for a romantic getaway with the wife, spouse or mistress, and there are hotels catering for the lonely business traveler. The Alliance hotel, formerly known as the Holiday Inn Garden Court Lyon Villeurbanne, is of the the Willy Loman-type category (see my review on the Innostar in Toulouse Labège if you are unclear on this concept),...

service was ok but hotel and rooms are dated and need urgent renovations is a typical holiday inn from the 60 old dark hallways. bathroom very small and not that clean. Reception same dark old and not very clean. beds where very soft and not very comfortable. room had a balcony but outside was very noisy. More

Clean and comfortable but room quite small. Despite all horror stories I heard about French service people, the friendliness and courtesy of all staff was outstanding (as it was throughout this beautiful city)! We chose for location next to University (Lyon 1); tram (Line 1) stop (either Einstein or La Doua) is a 10 minute walk away. From main train... More

We were upgraded to junior suite so can't critique the rooms generally. Clean hotel, pleasant room with small balcony. Not far from the park. Near to cycle rent stands, and short walk from tram to town (too far out to walk to old Lyon). Parking underneath hotel was free. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on food. Lots of restaurants... More

We were due to stay in this Holiday Inn for six nights but left after one. Some of the staff were lovely, but they are being let down by poor hotel standards. We had reserved a 'junior suite' because the info about the hotel seemed to suggest that the standard rooms were small. For €150 per night we expected a... More

We found the bus/tram station easily outside the train station which took us directly to the hotel, just minutes away from the stop. Its in the area of the University in a residential area which was quiet and... More

This property is located outside the city center and it caters to University traffic. However, the staff is quite good at handling tourists as well. We stayed 3 nights and used the hotel restaurant twice for dinner. The front desk manager Fabien is outstanding. We asked for guidance on what to do during out stay and he outlined a great... More

This hotel is about 15 minutes tram tride from the main railwaystation in Lyon.The hotel is another 5 minute walk from stop Einstein.It is located in a nice quiet area and occupies a corner position. Understand some rooms are small but fortunately I was allocated a corner room and this had plenty of space and windows which opened. On the... More

This hotel is a tram ride from the centre of Lyon and so away from the sights and restaurants. However, we were very pleased with the reception we received and very comfortable in our junior suite. As the weather was atrocious we decided to forego the town centre restaurants for which Lyon is famous, and eat in the hotel. We... More
