Premiere Classe Lyon Est - Aéroport Saint Exupéry

The rooms were clean, and the limited staff were courteous and helpful. Our door would lock but not shut completely, which seems to be a common issue. That might not be too bad in summer, but I imagine winter could be much worse. The toilet is about the size of an airplane toilet, with a shower squeezed in. There’s a small breakfast buffet with enough bread, cereal, juice, cheese, and a coffee machine. The hotel restaurant only had takeaway pizza that day, but it was good and filling. It’s a decent setup for a quick airport stopover, with the basics and little need for human interaction. The automated check-in machine was broken, so someone had to check us in manually. Don’t expect extras like a bathtub or a big breakfast buffet.

It’s in a really quiet industrial area, about 20 minutes from the airport by bus. Take the 47, get off after three stops, then walk around five minutes. The location is the main plus if you need an overnight stay near the airport. The hotel is clean, but the rooms are extremely small. Three people in a space barely big enough for one felt cramped, and the bathroom was tiny, more like a cabin bathroom than a hotel bathroom. Our entrance cards didn’t always work, and the lobby coffee and snack machines were out of order during our stay. Breakfast was basic but decent, with some nice pastries. It’s served next door at the Campanile hotel on the same grounds. Fine for a quick night, but not very comfortable for a longer stay.

I was a little nervous after reading the reviews, but ended up having a great stay. The room was clean, breakfast was good, and the price was great. It’s not a resort, of course, but everything was clean and comfortable for what you pay. I’d stay here again.

The bed was super comfortable, the wifi worked well, and I liked being able to enter the room from outside. There’s a ride service to the airport for 8 euros, which was great since the same trip cost 15 euros by taxi. The buffet wasn’t great, just bread and no fresh fruit. When I arrived, the staff weren’t very friendly and didn’t know how to check me in. In the morning, though, a very kind woman at the front desk greeted me. Good for one night.
