We chose this hotel primarily for its proximity to the station, which was brilliant. Also the area itself is very nice with plenty of restaurants to choose from.

The room was a bit small for 4 guests but the air con was much appreciated and the room was clean.

The best part of our stay was the reception staff, who were extremely helpful through our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Right across from the train station, great location. My floor carpet was a bit wet when I arrived, but I think it was from cleaning. They advertise rooms with a view, but I was looking at the back of a building. There is a newer and older part of the hotel apparently, so be prepared the room might not look like it does in their social media—a bit worn and tired, but clean. The breakfast is good, but hardly any fruit, just a few fruit cups. Unlike other hotels that have a self-serve machine for coffee, the staff serves you the coffee, which made me feel a bit like an inconvenience when I had to ask.

All things considered, it was a good experience with friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again for a short stay of a night or two.

We chose this hotel simply for the history - it was a famous stop on Europe’s early rail line and my husband loves trains. The hotel met his expectation and was definitly the perfect piece of nostalgia for him. It was also just across from the rail station on which we both arrived and departed, so even better!

Our train was late but there were no problems with our midnight arrival.

It is an older hotel, and it feels like an old hotel which, if you’re into that vibe, is exceedingly charming. We are and we loved it!

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!

The room itself, though, was very small and felt outdated.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.

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.

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.
