This is our Best Value pick in Lyon. It suits couples and families who want to explore on foot, with the cathedral about 15 minutes away, and travellers arriving by train at Perrache. The property lists family rooms and is tagged as pet-friendly, though pet rules and fees are not confirmed.
If you want the lowest possible price, our Budget pick costs about half as much. If you want a spa or a five-star setting a few minutes from Fourvière, our Luxury pick is the one. Travellers who need a large room should check the exact category, because opinions on size are split.
