Reviews of Lyo Hôtel
Christopher Nevado
Hotel was decent for a 2 star hotel. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. Room was decent, a little bit cramped but managable. Maybe in the future they'll incorporate a safe in each room to leave important belongings in, at the meantime, you need to leave your keys to the reception everytime you go out, not that hassle because theirs always reception. As long as you dont leave anything of important...

Helpfull and friendly staff. The rooms were clean and sufficient, a bit small, but perfect for short visit. Good location and value for money
Morgan Norris
My partner and I had a last minute stay and Hotel Lyo was the perfect place. From the beginning, each receptionist, including Noémie and Yohann, are warm and welcoming. The rooms felt cozy and beds were very comfortable. Very nice bathrooms with large showers.
Nick Bikeman
Perfect city stay for 2 people cycling around France. They kept our bikes in a locked courtyard. They had a bath which was wonderful to sooth aching legs ha ha ha Price was right Location close to the attractions and the restaurants in this area are reasonably priced. All the people we met at reception was so lovely and helpful
