Hôtel de Lyon
Fifty metres from the station, in the old centre
Superb · 539 reviews
About this stay
The fifty-metre distance to the railway station makes this the clear choice for anyone arriving by train rather than car, and the position inside the old centre keeps the cathedral and market streets within easy walking range despite the hotel's functional, rather than period, character. Rooms stay bright and soundproofed, a genuine benefit given the proximity to the station, and breakfast includes croissants, buns, a wide choice of jams, butter, yoghurt, orange juice, coffee, hot chocolate and a range of teas. The three conference rooms, holding four to fifty-five people, add a business dimension for workshops or seminars without needing to book a separate venue. The hotel's functional character suits a short, practical stay far better than a leisurely multi-day visit built around hotel amenities rather than the city outside.

Our take
I recommend the Hôtel de Lyon to travellers who need a central, simple stop in Valence. The railway station is fifty metres away and the A7 and A9 motorways are close, so arrivals and departures are quick. Rooms are bright and soundproofed with private bathrooms and free WiFi, and three conference rooms host between four and fifty-five people. I would choose it for a short stopover or a work meeting rather than a long holiday.
- ✓Book this hotel specifically if arriving by train, given the fifty-metre walk from the station
- ✓Reserve one of the three conference rooms ahead of time if running a workshop or seminar
- ✓Walk into the old town for dinner rather than driving, since the centre is close by
Why we love it
- Fifty metres from Valence's railway station

- Bright, soundproofed rooms
- Close to the A7 and A9 motorways
Why guests love itI would book the Hôtel de Lyon for a family passing through Valence by train, since the railway station is only fifty metres away. The two-star hotel sits in the city centre, and its rooms are bright and soundproofed, each with a private bathroom and free WiFi. Drivers are close to the A7 and A9 motorways, which makes it a practical stop on the way south. It is a simple address, chosen for convenience rather than facilities.
