Campanile Lyon Centre-Berges du Rhône
The location was perfect for crossing the bridges over the Rhône and to dine out. It was just a 20-minute walk to the funicular to ride up to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral for a view of Lyon and to see the Roman ruins. The bed was big and super comfortable. Great place to relax.

Lagrange Apart'HOTEL Lyon Lumière
I didn't get the breakfast so I don't know. Very basic hotel, with kitchen utensils, pot and pan, but no dish detergent. Room is clean which is most important. Need some renovations in some areas. Better than some other hotels around the area.
