IBIS STYLES LYON GERLAND, Lyon

The hotel sits in a practical transit-friendly location: the tram stop is 200 m away, providing direct connections to the city centre. Musée des Confluences is 600 m on foot, and Halle Tony Garnier is 200 m from the property. Lyon Saint Exupéry Airport is a 30-minute drive, while Matmut Stadium is 2 km away. The immediate area has limited dining and shopping, but the riverbank is walkable. Secure underground parking (€18/day, 1.95 m height limit) is available, though the parking access process involves codes and can be less convenient for quick stops.

All rooms include air conditioning, soundproof walls, an LCD TV with satellite channels, a private bathroom with walk-in shower and hairdryer, and an electric kettle. Some rooms offer views of Musée des Confluences. Rooms are compact - triple and family rooms are notably tight, with minimal space around beds and limited luggage storage. The decor is basic and functional, with parquet floors. A connecting-door option is available for families. No rooms have a balcony, minibar, or safe. Bedding includes either double or single configurations. The compact size and basic furnishings make the accommodation better suited for short stays or stopovers rather than extended leisure.

Breakfast (€14/person) is a buffet with eggs, fruit salad, yoghurts, juices, fresh pastries baked on site, French Madeleine cakes, and a hot drink plus fruit to take away. An express breakfast is served from 06:30 to 12:00, and the bar serves breakfast until 12:00. The on-site restaurant, LA FABRIK NOVOTEL (shared with the adjacent Novotel), serves lunch (Mon-Fri) and dinner daily, offering European cuisine in a modern setting. The bar is open daily until 22:30; snack bar and coffee house are available. Wine/champagne and fruits are available for an additional charge. The surrounding area has a few restaurants within 0.5 km, but options are limited, making the on-site restaurant the most reliable evening dining choice.
