Nice hotel og very friendly staff. The breakfast was very good and the fitness area was a nice facility. We were looking forward to enjoy the pool, but it was quite cold and smaller and than we expected from the photos. The parking was quite expensive, 28 euros per day. We had the electric car slow-charged here, which was nice. We would stay here again another time :-)

Verified review

6/10 Good

Staff at breakfast were quite rude and on our first morning it was really poorly stocked. With an hour of service to go food was not stocked up: no melon, no plates, no croissants and if you asked staff they seemed to take offence! The bathroom was very small and to get into the shower you have to brush past the toilet. Nice fresh cold water coolers on every floor and a large fridge in the room. The pool is toddler sized, dont book this hotel on the basis of a swimming pool as we did as you will be disappinted by it. Great location to reach all of Lyon. Short walk from station and into centre.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Due to an extraordinary power outage, which the hotel of course could not be blamed for, our stay ended up being rather curtailed and unusual. The staff handled the crisis situation reasonably well, but it also became clear that this large hotel is in need of some refurbishing. A tired air‑conditioning system, worn bathrooms, and emergency lighting that switches off after ten hours do not make up for the fairly spacious rooms and good location.

Old but well kept hotel. There is a big supermarket just next door, there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance and the city center is around 10 minutes on foot. I would not expect the car park to be more than double the price of a city center public parking space, so plan and book accordingly.

What amazing people work at the Mercure Hotel in Lyon, France. My husband and I stayed there while traveling, and during our trip we were carrying 300 euros between us. I kept 100 euros in large bills separate from another 50 euros in small bills for tips. At some point, I realized the larger bills were missing, but I had no idea where or when I had lost them, so I just let my husband handle the tipping afterward. Soon after we returned home, I received an email from Expedia saying I had a credit of $132 from the Mercure Hotel in Lyon, with no explanation. Then it suddenly hit me — it must have been the 100 euros I accidentally left behind in our hotel room. I was truly touched by the honesty and kindness of the hotel staff. In today’s world, this level of integrity is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you for making our stay not only comfortable, but also memorable for all the right reasons.
