Campanile PRIME Lyon Centre Gare Part-Dieu
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you arrive by train, want a cheap and well-reviewed 3-star room and plan to use public transport. Skip it if you want to walk out of the door into the old town, because the main sights are 30 to 40 minutes away on foot.

This is our Budget pick in Lyon. It suits rail travellers, short business trips and anyone flying in who wants easy access to the airport shuttle. Families can look at the family rooms the property lists, and it is tagged as pet-friendly, though pet rules and fees are not confirmed.
It is a weaker fit if you want a historic setting or a walkable evening in the old town. People who are sensitive about beds should also read the guest comments below, since mattress quality is the main complaint.
Location and getting around
The address is Forum Part-Dieu, 31 Rue Maurice Flandin, in the 3rd arrondissement. The location score is 9.2. Guests say it sits directly opposite Lyon Part-Dieu train station and a large shopping centre, with trams, the metro and the airport shuttle all within easy walking distance.
The classic sights are a different story. The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is about 2.4 km away, roughly 30 minutes on foot. Lyon Cathedral is about 2.8 km, around 35 minutes, and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is about 3.2 km, close to 40 minutes. Those last two are far for a casual walk, so plan on public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 5,387 reviews, a very large sample. It ranks joint ninth of 17 eligible properties on review score, so it is mid-table on score but strong on price.
Guests mostly praise the location for transport: the station opposite, the shopping centre next door and quick access to trams, metro and the airport shuttle.
Bed comfort divides opinion. Some guests find the mattresses comfortable, while others report springs, sagging or small pillows. If you sleep badly on a soft or worn bed, keep that in mind.

Our Best Value pick, Hotel De Verdun 1882, BW Signature Collection, was about €154.39 a night with an 8.8 score and 4 stars, and it is closer to the old town. Our Luxury pick, Villa Florentine, A Beauvallon Hotel & Spa, was about €336.94 a night with a 9.3 score and 5 stars, a few minutes from the cathedral. The Campanile costs about half of De Verdun for a score only 0.2 points lower.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 17 eligible hotels in Lyon. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and at €78.11 this was it. More than 5,000 reviews averaging 8.6 make that low price a safer bet than a cheaper hotel with few reviews.
Listed facilities include a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet. Opening times, availability and any fees are not confirmed.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Given its position by a major station, ask for a quieter room if noise bothers you, though we cannot confirm how much noise there is. Check whether breakfast is in the rate and when free cancellation ends.
