Hotel Mercure.Lyon Centre was a fantastic stay. So many positives! First and foremost…after travelling for 3 weeks, I had the best sleep at this hotel. It was quiet! Absolutely no street noise. The bed was good too.
Beyond providing ideal conditions for quality sleep, the room was spacious and clean. Further, this hotel provided an excellent breakfast. We ate at the restaurant for dinner our first evening which was, again, superb.
Staff were welcoming, helpful, and each person received us with a smile.
Merci beaucoup Hotel Mercure!

How is this rail station dump a 4 star class and under Hotels.com VIP? Total travesty. No real service or luggage help, parking is a disaster, property is seedy and rundown, front desk is useless. 1 set of towels for 4 guests, 1 complementary water bottle for 4 guests. Total joke!

Hotel conveniently close to train station. Quiet-never heard the trains. Spacious room with separate room for toilet and small sink apart from main bathroom with shower and large sink. Best breakfast of all hotels we stayed at this trip. Hot foods, crepe station, many cheeses, and several breads. Staff very helpful. Tram and Metro stops nearby.

Room was a good size, clean and with a comfortable bed. Bathroom also good and spacious. Breakfast a bit disappointing with poor fruit and bread selections and limited hot options - expected better for 20 euros. Restaurant also had limited choices and quite high prices so went elsewhere for our evening meal.

The hotel is exceptionally well located. It is literally just steps from Gare Part-Deux, and the Rhône Express which goes directly to the airport is also at the hotel’s front door. The food market Les Halles is a 10 minute walk away. Despite this great location, the hotel is very quiet. They also gave out a sample of some excellent-high end chocolate one day. It was so good that I went to the shop to get more. They provided a baby bed, which was clean and in very good condition.

We had 2 very comfortable rooms( a quad and a double) which had all necessary amenities. The AC was not strong enough but we were given a fan, which helped.
Breakfast was of very good quality but missed some fresh salad and sweets (apart from croissants). Not sure it's worth the Eur 19.50 it costs!
Location can't be beaten as it's only a couple of metres away from train and metro station, yet very quiet. Proximity of shopping mall and restaurants is also very convenient.
Although there were a few homeless sleeping on the street, they never bothered us and we felt very safe, even at night.

My family of 3 stayed for 2 nights and highly recommend.
Pros:
Location is steps away from train station for convenience.
Spacious and best laid out room for small family. Room to move, small table and chairs to relax, comfortable beds.
Surprisingly quiet. The room overlooks the city and train station but besides a light hum from the bigger freight trains, no noise.
We appreciated the fun lobby with lizards and fish for kiddos.
Area for improvement - the wait staff in restaurant could be a little more pleasant.

We found the hotel to be modern and clean. In spite of its location right by the main train station, the room was extremely quiet. We found it convenient in that we were able to walk from the train station as well as from the car rental agencies after dropping off our car. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. We appreciated the good coffee and complementary filtered water in the lobby. A minor inconvenience was that Uber drivers could not pick up or drop off in front of the hotel and you did have to walk a block for pick up. Otherwise, the train station taxi stand was nearby. Our only complaint was with the air conditioning as it didn’t really cool down the room to the temperature it was set at and we experienced high temperatures while visiting Lyon. Overall, a good stay.

Pros:
- very conveniently located at the Part-Dieu hub for public transit and the airport shuttle Rhonexpress
- very nice breakfast buffet, though it is unchanging day to day
- generally well appointed room (though small to be called a suite)
- water and nespresso coffee in the lobby much appreciated
- restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful
- room service was great evening of arrival
- check in at noon is great for transatlantic guests

Cons:
- very poor ventilation in the room, it was uncomfortably warm and humid. This was brought up twice with the front desk (+once at checkout) - the attendant was quite rude and condescending about this (I’m not looking for freezer conditions, I’m quite happy at 23C, but the room seldom dipped below 27-28C). Very disappointing for this caliber of hotel… who knew that Mercure truly meant heat.
- The shower drain is not calibrated for the water flow. Within 5 min of the mist spray (not the big shower head), water was already overflowing. Similar for the sink.
- No Expedia VIP amenity (we were told that they sometimes offer parking, but that is useless, especially for travelers selecting a hotel next to a train station and transportation hub!$
- One of the lobby attendants (woman with large glasses working regularly on days and evenings of the week of May 26) was quite unpleasant, especially with regards to opening the lobby door for us on arrival. I can wait a bit if the front desk is busy, but she would make us wait 2+ min.

Also, the pillows are like super soft, which is not welcome when you need head support. Other than that, all is good. Oh, one thing: the shower is amazing!!!

Best feature is proximity (within a few minutes of walking) to transportation (across the street express train to/from airport, metro station, high speed train station). There is a mall next to the hotel. We are not too crazy about the fast food restaurants there, but they are convenient for emergency situation. There is also a food/grocery market in the mall (great for fresh fruits). Make sure you add breakfast to your room stay. Breakfast Food is decent and basic, and may be your best and fullest meals for the day, if you do not feel like going out (metro stops to Vieu Lyon for real restaurants) later in the evening. Room itself is very big (over 320 sq ft). Like the toilet (with a sink) separate from the main bath (with shower and sink). For touring Lyon, metro is your best friend (easy to navigate). Must visit Norte Dame Cathedral and take the funicular up (get a day metro ticket for the visit).
