IBIS LYON GERLAND MERIEUX, Lyon

The hotel sits in the Guerland business district, a practical base for events at Gerland Stadium or Halle Tony Garnier (10 minutes on foot). The metro station directly outside provides a 15-minute ride to Lyon's central landmarks. Lyon Perrache train station is 3 km away, and the city centre is a 10-minute drive. Street parking is available near the hotel if the paid on-site lot is full. Numerous restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, making evening dining convenient without a car.

Each room includes a telephone, LCD TV with Canal+, and a private bathroom with toiletries. Rooms are compact - better suited for short visits than extended stays. Air conditioning is standard, and heating is available. For quieter sleep, request a room away from the main road, as street-facing rooms can be noisier. The beds receive consistent praise for comfort, and daily housekeeping keeps the space clean. Note that rooms have no coffee/tea-making facilities and no balcony.

Breakfast is a buffet offering sweet and savoury dishes including eggs, fruit salad, yogurts, and juices. Freshly baked pastries and Madeleine cakes are prepared on site. A grab-and-go option with a hot drink and fruit is available, and a lighter breakfast is served from 04:00 - useful for early departures. There is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the bar and snack bar operate round the clock, offering snacks, drinks, and a coffee house on site. Several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.
