MEININGER HOTEL LYON CENTRE BERTHELOT, Lyon

Situated 200 metres from the Musée de la Resistance, this property is well connected by tram (T1, T2) and metro (Jean Macé, 5 minutes on foot). Perrache Train Station is 1 km away, and the Musée des Confluences is 2 km. The area offers a wide selection of bakeries, cafés, and restaurants within a 5-minute walk - including several Japanese, Vietnamese, and French options. The hotel sits next to an active railway line, but the windows are soundproof when closed. The surrounding street has a mix of residential and commercial properties; secure parking is available on-site.

All rooms feature heating, air conditioning, and soundproofing. Bed options range from single and twin to family rooms with a double bed plus bunk beds (accommodating up to 8 people). The private bathrooms include a shower, toiletries, and hairdryer. Rooms are basic and functional - no fridge, kettle, minibar, or safe. USB ports and power sockets are available by each bed. Some rooms have windows facing the railway; when closed, the windows effectively block train noise. The decor is modern but minimal, with either tiled or vinyl flooring. Bed firmness and pillow softness vary; some rooms have two single beds pushed together to form a double. Family rooms are private (no shared occupancy).

Breakfast runs from 06:30 to 10:30 and includes breads, pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, hot drinks, and juice. Gluten-free options are available on request - remind reception at check-in. The buffet can become busy when large groups are present; self-clearing of tables is expected. A smaller €4 breakfast of three mini pastries and a hot drink is also sold. The hotel bar serves snacks, wines, champagnes, and a welcome drink. A guest kitchen with fridge, microwave, and hob allows self-catering. Numerous bakeries (e.g., Fournil'in, Loutsa Torrefacteur) and restaurants are within a 3-minute walk.

The bar and lounge area is open until late and houses a pool table. A games room and separate children's playground are available on site. Walking tours and happy hour events are offered at an additional charge. The terrace is accessible only during breakfast service (06:30-10:30). The guest kitchen doubles as a communal dining space. No gym, sauna, or spa facilities are present.

Wi-Fi is free and reliable across all areas. The underground parking garage (€15-20 per day, max height 1.9m) must be reserved in advance; 4 electric car charging spots are available.
