Best Western Hotel De Verdun

We stayed at this hotel over the long Easter weekend. The room was fairly large, and the sofa had been converted into a sofa bed for our daughter. The bathroom was small but functional and clean. Wifi generally worked well. Staff was friendly and serviceable. The hotel is centrally located and close to Perrache train station, ten minutes walk from Place Bellecour and just over 15 minutes walk from Vieux Lyon.... overall good value for money. less

Great affordable hotel, clean, excellent and friendly service, well located and best of all, family friendly. We stayed at a family room with our two young children, very difficult to find this type of room (2 double beds) in most hotels regardless of your budget, and hotels are bit pricey here in Lyon. Luckily found a review mentioning the family room and glad took the advice, room is good size even for two very active kids aged 4 and 5, good heating system for these winter nights. Breakfast buffet is limited in options but good. There's a self-serve laundromat down the street and can pay for the machines with credit card (pin type), also there's a supermarket and lots and lots of little shops selling almost anything you could need and even more at a the nearby Victor Hugo Ave. (pedestrian type). less

Room had no air conditioning, so had to leave windows open - which meant the mosquito's got a feast. Room was very small, but not an issue for me personally. Only had hot water once from the shower, happily the room temperature counter acted this. Lots of noise started around 6:15 am, but I was on UK time so it felt like 5:15. Wifi was ok for browsing. Whilst it wasn't the worst hotel I have stayed at, I would't stay again. less

We stayed here for 3 nights while watching the European Rugby finals. We had room 33 and it was a good size with double bed and a sitting area with sofa. The room was clean as was the bathroom and the water hot. Wifi is available free in the room. The room did not have air con but this was not a problem for us as the weather was not hot. The lift is minute so could be a problem if several people were leaving at the same time with luggage. Breakfast was simple but boiled eggs were cooked to order. The rest was typical continental fare but the bread was good and croissants fresh. The coffee from the machine was excellent. The hotel is in a good position and a short walk from Bellecour Square and the old town. There are several restaurants in the same road as the hotel and hundreds in the old town. The metro is 10 minutes walk away. Reception staff all spoke excellent English and were friendly and helpful. A good 3 star hotel. When we stayed it was extremely good value. less

Except for a small hiccup concerning my reservation (nothing serious), I found my stay at this hotel good value for money. All staff members were very friendly and spoke good English, providing a few tips for looking around the city (I think 2 nights are adequate to get a good enough feel for the place). The hotel provided me with a quiet room, as I requested in advance, consequently it was at the back with no view. Also, the room, although fair sized, was a little subdued in terms of light but these are very minor quibbles. Breakfast was simple, but a reasonably good choice and quantity and nothing to complain about (I particularly liked the authentic French ‘pain’ though). The hotel was conveniently located within an easy 10 minutes’ walk from the rail/tram station. There were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. If I was visiting Lyon again I'd certainly consider this hotel. less
