MOB HOTEL LYON CONFLUENCE, Lyon

The hotel sits in the Confluence district, a modern area at the meeting point of the Rhône and Saône rivers. The Musée des Confluences tram stop is a 5-minute walk, offering direct services to Perrache station and the city centre (around 10 minutes by tram). Gerland Stadium is 2 km away, and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is 21 km from the property. The area is within walking distance of the Confluences shopping centre, La Sucrière cultural centre, and several restaurants such as Le Comptoir Gourmand and Selcius (each about 0.5 km away). Those arriving by car will need to use paid parking at the nearby shopping centre or museum car parks, as the hotel has no on-site parking. The neighbourhood is quiet by the river, with a cycle path and walking routes along the water. For arriving late, the 24-hour reception ensures a smooth check-in at any time up to midnight.

The hotel offers double rooms and suites. Each unit features air conditioning, soundproof walls, a private bathroom with toiletries, and a safe deposit box. Suites provide extra space with a seating area, refrigerator, coffee machine, and a separate toilet. A number of rooms include a balcony, some with river views, forming a quiet retreat. The room design is modern and minimalist. Some rooms near the railway line may have less desirable views. Standard double rooms are compact, with no wardrobe - hanging is from wall hooks, and there is limited surface space for luggage. The third-person bed arrangement is a floor futon, which some may find less comfortable. Housekeeping is daily but may be basic - bin emptying and main bed making are standard. Those requiring more robust accommodation, such as families with young children or those needing extensive storage, may wish to consider the suite or request a river-view room. A luggage storage room is available free of charge.

Le Comptoir Gourmand is the hotel's own restaurant, operating as an organic Italian self-service canteen. It is open for breakfast (for an additional charge), dinner, high tea, and a cocktail hour, from 12:00 to 23:30 daily. The restaurant features a buffet breakfast with organic products, although selection is limited compared to larger hotels. For dinner, organic Italian dishes including pizza and lasagne are available; beer and wine are also organic. A bar with a terrace provides a relaxed setting for evening drinks. Special diet menus can be requested, and kids' meals are available. The restaurant also hosts free evening events such as live music and temporary art galleries. The surrounding area offers additional dining options such as Selcius, La Brasserie des Confluences, Peniche Loupika, and Heat - all within a 5-minute walk.

The hotel emphasizes a community and wellness vibe with complimentary activities: yoga, Swedish fit, and pilates sessions are offered. For evening entertainment, there are free live music performances, live sport event broadcasts, and temporary art galleries. A sun terrace and a communal terrace are available for relaxation. There is no swimming pool, spa, or jacuzzi. The wellness offering is best suited to those who enjoy low-key, participative activities rather than a full-service spa experience.

The hotel makes practical travel easier with a 24-hour reception and a free luggage storage room open 24/7, ideal for late arrivals or early departures. A free business centre, a minimarket on site, and a laundry facility (washing machine, dryer, ironing board) on the third floor (for an additional charge) add convenience. Guests arriving by bike can store their bicycles securely inside the hotel. The property is fully non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area on balconies. For those with limited mobility, accessible rooms and a lift are available; the accessible rooms include grab rails in the toilet. A safety deposit box is provided in each room, and the building features 24-hour security with key card access, smoke alarms, and CCTV. Pets are welcome at no extra charge. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Maestro, and MasterCard.
