Meininger Hotel Lyon Centre Berthelot

Meininger Hotel Lyon Centre Berthelot is a budget hotel at 5 Rue du Professeur Zimmermann, 69007 Lyon, in the Guillotière and Jean-Macé area of the 7th arrondissement, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The 7th arrondissement is a lively, multicultural district south of the Presqu'île, known for its markets, student population and affordable restaurants, and the hotel's address near Berthelot places it close to the Lyon 2 university campus and the Berthelot metro station on line B. This gives direct connections to Part-Dieu railway station and the centre of the city, and Place Bellecour and Vieux Lyon can be reached in around fifteen minutes by public transport. Meininger is a German hotel brand that combines hostel-style social spaces with private hotel rooms, and it is popular with backpackers, school and youth groups, and budget-conscious families. The Lyon property follows this model, and its room options are listed as Single, Double and Twin, with wifi and breakfast among the amenities. Many Meininger hotels also provide shared kitchens and lounges, though visitors should confirm the exact facilities with the property. Dining in the neighbourhood is varied and inexpensive, with student cafés, international restaurants and bakeries around the university area. No spa or pool is listed in the available information. The service character is informal and international, suited to groups and independent travellers who want a private room at a lower price than central hotels. Typical rates run from about €55 to €110 per night depending on season, with higher prices during the Fête des Lumières in early December and during trade fairs. The hotel publishes details on the Meininger website, which covers rooms, group bookings and arrival information. Late arrivals are straightforward thanks to the nearby metro, though guests should confirm reception hours in advance. The Rhône quays, a short walk west, are popular for evening strolls and cycling, and the Halle Tony Garnier area is also reachable from the same metro line.
