Novotel Gerland is in the Heart of the Gerland Area in Lyon (south of the city) and close to Highway and other parts of the city. It is practical and well equipped but would deserve a refurbishment... Rooms are at Novotel standard and bar is pretty cosy. Friendly staff. More

A fairly standard offering from Novotel. Everything was clean and it all worked reasonably well.

Although the restaurant and bar-area were being refurbished (not indicated when booked - only minuspoint), the... More

When I have too little time to chose a hotel, I always go for a Novotel, especially when it comes to family trips. As expected, the hotel lies in a quite business area as most of Novotels that we stayed in in Europe. The hotel was modern and clean, check-was super fast. The room and bathroom were spotless and the... More
