Kyriad Lyon Est - Stadium - Eurexpo

If you are staying to be close to the stadium, this is a great option. There is nothing to do in the area and you are 25-30 minutes away from everything. Tram is 15 minute walk.

The evening check in process was nice and easy. Once we got to our room, it was extremely warm and humid. We asked about the AC and was told that it cannot be more than 8 degrees lower than outside. Not great when it's 94 out and your room is 80+ degrees, very uncomfortable. It made it very difficult to sleep and they do not have any fans to offer. Breakfast ends at 9:30 and they mean it! We witnessed guests being asked to leave as the area "was now closed". They would not even allow guests to sit in the area during the day. There is not a bar area or restaurant, but they do sell a limited offering of beverages ($2.50 for water/ $6 for beer) and you must pay the front desk at the time. They do not allow charges on your room nor do they offer a safe in the rooms for any belongings. When asked if we could have a few items left in the safe at the front desk, we were told they would check with management and never heard back. There is a time when they close the gates in the evenings. I believe it is at 10. You are able to ring the buzzer to get in after the stated time. We did have to wait 10-15 minutes one night for someone to open the gate as it was after midnight. The area is well lit. The evening staff was very helpful and friendly. I cannot say that about the am staff. They would assist but not without making you feel that you were bothering them. Several interactions with the same experience. I booked a taxi the night before to ensure a timely ride to the train station. I confirmed later in the evening as there were many miscommunications throughout our stay. It was a complete fiasco in the morning as a different group was give our taxi due to them needing more space for their luggage. The front desk admitted to us that they let the other group take our scheduled ride and told us we could have the next one, but he only went to the airport. Very frustrating as we were now running late to make our train.
