Odalys City Lyon Bioparc

A great place to stay while visiting Lyon. The room was clean and equipped with an extra sink, a fridge, and—if needed— two-burner stove which you have to take care of yourself. Must say, that during our 4 nights stay no one came to clean or collect the rubbish bins. But it wasn't a big deal for us. I think, if you need extra cleaning then, it will cost you €10 extra each day.( If I am not mistaken) Better ask when booking. You can walk to the metro station or tram stop in just a few minutes and is up to 10 minutes from close shops and restaurants. The transport in Leon cost €2.10 for an hour trip and for any changes to a trum or a bus within that time. Good connection to city centre. The hotel offers comfortable sleeping arrangements and a private bathroom. Breakfast is at the additional cost, it is served until 10:00 AM and offers a wide selection of items. After hours you can get something from vending machines. My room was at the ground level, but I got to the top, just to take a pictures. So you can see also the view from the upper level. A successful stay for us.

This was the worst hotel. The room had hotel rules stating that I was required to keep the room, including the kitchen, clean. However, I checked into a completely dirty room. At the reception, I was told that I just wouldn’t have to pay for cleaning after check-out. My room was never cleaned during my stay. The kitchen and bathroom were dirty before my check in. For extra cleaning, they charge €10. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Parking is awful as the service at the frontdesk. Need 45 minutes for check in without anyone in front of us tonget a faulty card and can not use the card to open the garage. Where you get the worst possible spot assigned for a sedan.

Why does this hotel advertise it as 4 stars? The room was OK, the aircon worked quite well, although the bedroom was hot but the sitting room was cold (which was a bonus during the heatwave), but it would be better if it was even out , there were minor issues (like a broken hinge on the kitchen cupboard). I understand it is self catering but not providing any dishwashing products, or just two toilet rolls for a week, is a cheap shot. They clean the rooms only every 8 days, and you have to take the rubbish out yourself, or they charge up to £95 for trash removal and washing dishes. The location is very good, a short walk to the Metro, and just a few stops to the old town and the centre, in a business area so very quiet around. The staff were not too friendly and helped with everything but it seemed like a bother, so we quickly left them alone. Free parking outside, paid underground. It is a good place to stay if you don't expect hotel service, but it is not 4 stars, maybe 2 and a half. Make sure you have a bin bag and washing up liquid with a sponge, or dishwasher tablets, as you will have to pay extra to get some from them. Beds are not too comfortable, and heatwave made it worse, but it is a good base to explore Lyon and surrounding areas
