A very good location opposite the train station

We stayed for one night on the way back from the French Alps.

We have stayed there many times and find it always a reliable choice.

This time it was four of us and we had rooms 26 and 36. Both were as expected.

A good hotel in a practical location

We had a very good one night stay at Hôtel Terminus Lyon.

We have been coming once or twice per year there for a one night stay on the way to the French Alps and on the way back. Therefore it can be said that we are regular and faithful customers.

This time we had booked two rooms for 4 people as we were travelling with some friends. Our room had a little balcony which was a nice little extra.

The hotel once more met and exceeded our expectations. We are likely to be back next summer!

Great hotel, the thing that makes tgis place is the staff. So freindly especially the 2 ladies who checked us in. So polite and freindly. The room waa good and we had a great nights sleep after a long day sight seeing in Paris. We didnt have breakfast as we had an early train to catch but i did see the buffet , which looked fantastic and definitely value for money. A shame we couldnt stay longer but will definitely use it again.

The staff at Terminus Hotel in Paris were friendly, and check-in was smooth. The location is definitely a plus, right across from the train station, which was convenient. The room itself, though, was very small and felt outdated. While the bed linens and towels were clean and I felt safe during my stay, I expected more for the price. Compared to other hotels I stayed at during my Europe trip, this one fell short. I’d give it a 6 out of 10.

On arrival at the hotel I had to wait a while to get into my room. Not ideal after a long journey but these things happen. The hotel is conveniently located opposite Gare De Lyon which was great. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful! The room was adequate for an overnight stay. I based my 3* review on sleep quality which wasn’t great! The room next door were playing music until gone midnight! I got up,knocked on the door and asked for the music to stop! The gentleman apologised and it stopped! In spite of this inconvenience I’d definitely stay again.

Nice staff and location - Shame about the noise

Staff were great for my 2 day stay. Bed was comfortable enough and pillows soft. Bathrooms are cramped and room is small. Can bare with that, but for 2 nights the room was noisy due to thin walls. From above the room and to each side. Closing of doors, showers, steps in rooms, stairs in corridor all heard. Yet no noise from outside. Ruins what could be a decent hotel at an affordable price. No bottled water. No extra toiletries like conditioner or cotton buds.

The location of this property is excellent for trains and metro. However it can be noisy if your room is on the street side. Rooms are quite small and dark. Typical of an older hotel. Not enough outlets. Bed was ok. A good value for a short stay but not as comfortable for our 6 nights.

This is a fabulous location for staying if you are venturing further into France via train at Paris Gare de Lyon. The restaurant was fab for a vegetarian and I felt completely safe on my own.

Travel from GdeG airport (terminal 2 trains out into downtown Paris) was extremely easy which included 1 change - hop across the platform at Chatelet de Halles and 1 stop to Gare de Lyon. It is a HUGE place and whilst the hotel website states its about 700 yds from the station - you have to know which exit to come out of...On a Sunday evening after 9pm there is not much in the way of people at info booths available so its best to ASK someone (even after you have done all the research) which is what I did and I found the hotel easily BUT WITHOUT THE ASKING I could have pounded the streeets for hours - 700 yds could have become 700 miles!!!

The hotel website showed lovely rooms done up the one I had was more then adequate and comfortable but it did lack the finesse of a throw and extra cushions on the bed, the decor of walls and pics was lack lustre but for a 1 night stay - no worries. If I'd stayed 2 nights this would have made a difference ot my rating under property conditions to 3*. Haviong said all that my view from the juilet balcony at the back of the hotel was a lovely surprise - a lawn laid roof - FA-BU-LOUS. I will use this hotel again.

Great location and food

A very short walk from the station where we were to catch a train for the next leg of our journey. A traditional looking hotel but we were surprised with a small balcony. The room had everything we needed, and was clean and well serviced.

We decided to eat at the attached Italian restaurant and the food was excellent. A buffet breakfast was in the same restaurant and was also very good.

We only stayed one night, but it was in a good location transport-wise for a longer visit to Paris.

We stayed for 2 nights on the way back from the French Alps. Originally we had only planned to stay for night. Then our plans changed and we decided to come back from the mountains one day earlier and booked an additional night with a new booking.

We have stayed at Hôtel Terminus Lyon many times in the past, normally when going to the Alps. This was the first time when we decided to avoid the taxi queue and just cross the road to the hotel.

That was a wise decision. Anis was very friendly at the check-in and made the necessary changes so that we could stay both nights in the same room.

We had breakfast on the first morning. It was very good and had everything what you would normally expect: Jams, bakery items, ham, cheese, bacon, cereals, yoghurts, tea, coffee, fruit etc.

We had room 45 facing the inner yard which was very quiet and peaceful. It also had a smallish bathtub in the bathroom, which we liked.

We will happily stay there again in the future.

We stayed for one night mid-August on the way to the French Alps.

We know the hotel well as we have stayed there regularly for over 20 years nearly every time we are on the way to the mountains and have an early morning departure from Gare de Lyon the following morning.

We have always been satisfied with the rooms and the hotel overall. This time we got an upgrade to room 50 on the 5th floor, and were even more satisfied than normally. The room was bigger than the standard double room, had a lovely big bathroom with a bath and a balcony. We really appreciated that. Of course it had the standard room features of a fully stocked mini-bar and a kettle.

The service both on check-in and check-out was excellent.
