ibis budget Aéroport Lyon Saint Exupéry

The hotel is very close to the airport. There is a shuttle service during the day. I arrived at 1am so I could have called the hotel and they would have sent the shuttle, which is free. I couldn't be bothered so I decided to walk. It's a 20min walk that felt safe (and the area is full of rabbits during the night, which was unexpected and which I enjoyed). The room was basic but it was clean and comfortable. The sink is inside the room and only the shower is separated. It's not a full bathroom. I didn't mind at all but it feels "cheaper". Still a good mark for me, but some people might want to know if they're looking for something with higher standard facilities.

There wasn't anyone at reception when I arrived. There's a phone you need to pick up so that the receptionnist phone rings and then someone eventually appears. I get that employees must be multi tasking, it just felts odd arriving at a hotel and no one there to welcome you.

What I liked: The shuttle service for the night flights however it was possible to walk too (15min), the possibility to have breakfast from 3 am, room was clean enough and friendly receptionist who offered me to select the room location. The room had a shower gel, shampoo, towels.

What I did not like: Room too small for the price we were charged, it seems a bit as a cápsula hotel, bathroom is inside the room so you need to take away/put your clothes inside the room without any intimacy that is not convenient if you share room not with your couple. Also the room seems modern but as if you stay in the shared bedroom of the hostel, not worth the price we paid. There were no hair dryer, no fridge and no water.

The room minimalist offers bed and shower. Serves the purpose of a good solution for connecting flights. Staff very nice. Free shuttle service from and to Lyon Airport. We arrived late at about 2 am and we got service. Its a few minutes ride. Better to register for a service when returning to the airport.

A little expensive compared to what it offered. The shower and the sink are not separated from the the sleeping area. Bed stif and breakfast was disappointing compared to its value.

Close to the airport, free shuttle to transfer. Clean and tidy. Bath cabin in the room, but separated with door. Great room for one, but may be uncomfortable for two persons. Hotel reception is friendly and helpful.

Be careful if you arrive late night - need to call to ask for shuttle. No option to use messenger or other internet connection, that would be much easier for foreigners who just arrived. City tax is not included in price, be ready to pay on check in.

The best thing about the property was the breakfast, which was incredible. So many options and so delicious. And available so early.

The staff told us that the airport bus came once every hour which is not very helpful as it really should be every half hour. As it turns out, we found out that one staff member told us one time and another staff member told somebody else a different time. In the end we ended up waiting 20 minutes for the bus which was very stressful.

The hotel is extremely convenient for the airport, with a shuttle from the hotel even for very early morning flights. The in-house restaurant is not open on Saturday evenings, which is well-advertised, but a bit surprising nonetheless. The small bar is open Saturday evenings, which helps. All the staff were very helpful and cordial.

The shuttle pick-up from the airport is OK, but during certain times requires that you phone. I didn't have a working phone, but got lucky when the shuttle arrived to drop someone else off. It is odd that the restaurant is closed weekend evenings. There are vending machines with sandwiches and ready-to-eat pasta. That's not a great alternative, but is better than nothing.

This hotel is new and clean, very conveniently located for early departure from Saint Exupery airport. There's airport shuttle and if you come by car it's only 2 km drive to parkings and car rental, couldn't be closer. The staff was really helpful and doing their best to answer all requests and questions. What I like in ibis budget, they have microwaves and vending machines with instant dishes, so you can have some hot food anytime even if you arrive at midnight.

Extra charge for the parking. No 'proper' bathroom, you enter shower directly from the room (like a closet in the wall) and the sink with mirror is in the room itself. The price level is more regular ibis than ibis budget.

punctuality of the shuttle perfect, breakfast menu was very good, may be specify if we can also take shuttle at arrival? I took a Taxi this time instead.

a comment from the shuttle driver, (I took it as cultural) situation: I was outside with 2 luggage,1 door was open, I was waiting from his to see how to accommodate the luggage, when he arrives said, I´m a driver not a lifter???

Good location 15 mins walk from Terminal 1, shuttle bus took us back to T1 in the morning to get the train to Lyon itself. Clean room, no complains on the room itself.

We called the number for the shuttle bus twice when we were at the T1 pick up point around 00:10. It said an automated message in fast French and then it ended. We waited about 15 minutes but nothing arrives so we had to walk, which wasn't what we needed after being promised a bus. Also it was pretty dark and dingey even in the morning, there is no main light only little ones around the room.

Sweetest people at reception, one of whom came right away to pick us up from our 2 day delayed trip. So friendly & helpful! Incredible buffet dinner right on side at attached restaurant & very reasonable. Breakfast included, very, very good! Pleasant experience to unpleasant start to our trip with flights. Bed(s) comfy, water hot, lots of light in room.

Just keep in mind this is a budget hotel. Our shower was right by bed, not in a separate bathroom. Very basic, but for one night fabulous!
