Ibis Budget Lyon Gerland

Ibis Budget Lyon Gerland is a two-star budget hotel at 1 Boulevard Jules Carteret in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon, France, in the Gerland district on the south side of the city. Gerland is a former industrial area that has been redeveloped into a mixed district of offices, laboratories, sports facilities and housing, and it is home to the Halle Tony Garnier, a large iron-and-glass exhibition and concert hall originally designed by the architect Tony Garnier. The Gerland metro station on line B and tram connections link the area to Jean Macé, Part-Dieu and the Presqu'île within about fifteen to twenty-five minutes. The Confluence district, with the Musée des Confluences at the meeting of the Rhône and the Saône, lies to the north and is reachable by tram or a longer walk along the river. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, with typical rates of about 55 to 110 euros per night, which suits visitors on a tight budget. Wifi and a breakfast service are the listed amenities, and the property belongs to the Accor group, which maintains a booking page for it. As with other Ibis Budget hotels, the rooms are compact, standardised and functional, and there is no spa, pool or restaurant of significance. Guests normally eat in the local brasseries, bakeries and restaurants near Gerland, or travel into the Presqu'île for the full variety of Lyonnais dining. The service character is simple and efficient, which suits event visitors attending concerts or trade fairs at Halle Tony Garnier, researchers and business travellers working in the Gerland biotechnology area, and budget travellers seeking a base outside the more expensive centre. Parking is often easier here than in the historic core, though visitors should confirm availability and cost in advance. The hotel is a practical choice for travellers who accept a short metro ride to the main sights in exchange for lower prices.
