Hotel - Hall Central, BP 140, Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport, 69125 Lyon, Allée Est - Le Centre - Bp 140, 69125 Saint Exupery, Rhône Alpes, France - 3 Stars, 4 Stars - 120 Rooms
Advantages: Funky Theme, really nice room, Central Location Disadvantages: Small pool/ gym area
We booked Hotel Boscolo online through Expedia.com and got a really good last minute deal. We drove there- it was quite difficult to find down a small street and we had to pay for valet parking as you may expect in central Rome but the concierge were really friendly and helpful as were the reception staff- we booked a double room but were upgraded as they had space which was a nice touch.
Our room was stunning and decorated in a totally unique and really funky way- it was small but had everything we needed. The bathroom was mosaic and had a deep sunken jacuzzi bath and speakers so you could listen to music or the TV from the other room. The toiletries and things provided were really nice and you definately felt like you were staying in a posh boutique hotel!

Advantages: tastes great Disadvantages: high in sugar
Lyons Battenberg Cake
This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes. The offer being buy one get one free and for a price of £1.29 pence, which gets you the two cakes, I think it is well worth it.
The Lyons Battenberg cake has been around for years and has been one of my favourite cake time treats for many a year. The fact that this cake is so sweet really satisfies me as I have a very bad case of sweet toothitis.
The Battenberg Cake is made up of a super soft sponge centre that is in two different colours and four separate squares of colour giving the cake a chequered look. The two colours are a gorgeous pink and a light yellow shade. The whole sponge centre is wrapped around the outside with a good thick layer of marzipan ...
Advantages: Wonderful city Disadvantages: Pollution
Introduction
As some of you may or may not know, as part of my degree, I study an element of French language in preparation for the third year I will spend in France next year. My likely destination is Lyon and as such I decided it would be worth taking a trip to Lyon to explore what the city had to offer and get my bearings a little before I actually attended the university next year.
Lyon is situated in the Rhone- Alpes region of France, which lies in the east close to the Swiss border. It is surrounded, unsurprisingly, by the Alps and is not very far away in fact from Europe's biggest mountain, Mont Blanc. It is in fact France's second biggest city residing close to St. Etienne and Geneva (in Switzerland). So I and my fiancée (who will also join me in Lyon next year) took a visit to the place.
How to get there ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Lyon (France)
A traditional 19th century hotel, grand in style, overlooking the Rhine River and located just 5 minutes walk from the Old Town. Stylish, relaxing environment, mixing old world elegance with traditional charm. Rooms are decorated withall possible amenities with elegant furniture and subtle lighting. The stunning Art Decò Lounge Bar and refined Le Tilbury are perfect spots to savor leisurely moments of pause. This hotel has the ideal location for both business andleisure.
