Top Lyon Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

8/10 Good
"There was only one person at desk that was rude everyone else was wonderful Breakfast was ok . Rooms were very clean and well equipped. Starbucks was a stones throw away inside the 3 storey mall. Which was a great place to hang out in the heat. Streets were bare the mall was packed. Close enough to walk into old town area. We did in 40 degree heat. Melted but we did it Tram towards rivers is outside lobby. I'd return here"
