Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon

Good

Disliked: Food in bar poor and expensive.

Exceptional

Spectacular views and fine dining...

Liked: Spectacular, panoramic city view from both the room and the restaurant. Excellent buffet breakfast. I also ate at the restaurant for dinner (without a reservation, but they were kind enough to accommodate me) and the service, food and atmosphere were fantastic. Comfortable mattress, fluffy duvet. Nespresso/Keurig-style coffee machine in the room. My room ("Premium Room") had just enough space for the bed, a desk and a couple of chairs - it was fine for me but travellers with more/larger bags might have found it a tight space.Next to a shopping mall and the train station, but quite far from the old town. I stayed here for the view and the convenient location, but I would stay somewhere else if I really wanted to explore Lyon.
Disliked: The air conditioner was set at 20 degrees C and made the room a bit chilly. In theory it was adjustable to +3 degrees but whatever buttons I pressed, nothing changed. When I mentioned this on check-out, the desk staff were apologetic and said they'd look into it.When I checked in, there were 3 or 4 reception desks but only 1 receptionist on duty, and we all waited in a queue at the one desk.It took me a while to realize that I had to ride the elevator up to reception - I walked all the way around the building, including through a parking garage, before entering through a deserted lobby with a wall-mounted screen. The screen provided instructions on how to access reception, but only after scrolling through a generic slideshow.

Easy access to Lyon

Liked: View from 38th floor fantastic.. Very comfortable room with all the amenities we needed. We arrived by train and walked to hotel. Next day we walked everywhere to old town and museums. Our car rental again was close by. We chose this hotel for its convenient location but it was so much more.
Disliked: All good!
