We have booked early so we got a good price for 2 nights. The location is very good, close to the university. There are some restaurants in the neighborhood. Parking is always available as well. Previously, I have stayed in this hotel when it was managed by Holiday Inn and I didn't notice any change in service after being independent.... More

We stumbled across the Alliance Hotel by mistake and so glad that we did. Excellent service, High standard rooms and facilities followed by the best breakfast we have encountered during a week in France. I'm not sure where the other negative reviews came from but certainly not this hotel.

We had booked well in advance of our trip in September 2010, and as we had specific requirements we contacted them directly to arrange for interconnecting rooms, so our toddler could have her own room. Upon driving there, we arrived at the address we had been given, only to find they had moved 18 months before our trip, and not... More

Now there are hotels for a romantic getaway with the wife, spouse or mistress, and there are hotels catering for the lonely business traveler. The Alliance hotel, formerly known as the Holiday Inn Garden Court Lyon Villeurbanne, is of the the Willy Loman-type category (see my review on the Innostar in Toulouse Labège if you are unclear on this concept),...

service was ok but hotel and rooms are dated and need urgent renovations is a typical holiday inn from the 60 old dark hallways. bathroom very small and not that clean. Reception same dark old and not very clean. beds where very soft and not very comfortable. room had a balcony but outside was very noisy.

Clean and comfortable but room quite small. Despite all horror stories I heard about French service people, the friendliness and courtesy of all staff was outstanding (as it was throughout this beautiful city)! We chose for location next to University (Lyon 1); tram (Line 1) stop (either Einstein or La Doua) is a 10 minute walk away. From main train... More

We were upgraded to junior suite so can't critique the rooms generally. Clean hotel, pleasant room with small balcony. Not far from the park. Near to cycle rent stands, and short walk from tram to town (too far out to walk to old Lyon). Parking underneath hotel was free. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on food. Lots of restaurants... More

We were due to stay in this Holiday Inn for six nights but left after one. Some of the staff were lovely, but they are being let down by poor hotel standards. We had reserved a 'junior suite' because the info about the hotel seemed to suggest that the standard rooms were small. For €150 per night we expected a... More

We are two ladies who arrived by train from Paris to Lyon for a day and night stay on a round trip. We found the bus/tram station easily outside the train station which took us directly to the hotel, just minutes away from the stop. Its in the area of the University in a residential area which was quiet and... More
