We recently stayed at the ibis Lyon Nord as a stopover on our way to Spain, and it turned out to be a really pleasant experience. I have fond memories of staying here over 40 years ago as a child with my family, so it was special to return—this time with my own kids (16 and 18). We don’t usually stop and tend to drive straight through, but it was nice to break up the journey for once. We were travelling with our dog, and the hotel is very dog-friendly—even allowing dogs in the restaurant, which was a big plus for us. After a long drive, we received a super friendly welcome from the staff. They all spoke English, although I did try out some of my old school French! We had checked in online beforehand, so the process was quick and easy, with just a small €5 city tax to pay on arrival. We booked two connecting rooms, each with a double bed. Both rooms were clean and comfortable. One thing to note is that only one pillow per person is provided, and they are quite flat—so bringing your own extra pillows (as we did) is a good idea, although I’m sure the hotel would provide more if asked. We had dinner in the on-site restaurant (reviewed separately), and overall had a very comfortable night’s sleep. The rooms were impressively quiet, which made a big difference after a long day of travelling. Breakfast was good, with a decent selection including pastries, baguette, ham, turkey, cheeses, fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, jams, coffee, and juices. We later noticed there were also scrambled eggs and bacon available. We went down around 8:30am and everything was well stocked. The only thing we missed was a proper cup of tea. Overall, this was a really enjoyable stopover. It’s conveniently located just off the autoroute, the staff are genuinely friendly, and it offers everything you need for a comfortable break in your journey. We would definitely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

“First stop Lyon”

First stopover hotel after long drive. Hotel has small pool which is great for kids to enjoy & cool off in. Good breakfast & restaurant with outside dining. Two interconnecting rooms were allocated so great amount of space. Good aircon & clean rooms. Would stay again.
