Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre Plaza République

“Excellent choice of hotel - thank you, Mercure!”

Booked as part of a BA Holiday, I like the Accor Group, so opted for Mercure and I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. From the very warm reception upon arrival and helpful front desk team throughout - always smiling and welcoming, to the breakfast staff in the morning. The hotel boasts the Accor little extras, like the fresh water machine (still or carbonated) in the bar which is free for all with empty bottles to take away; always useful after a day walking in a city and just wanting to chill out in the room. This was highlighted by the receptionist during check in. Breakfast was excellent; from the choice to the staff running it. Fresh food each morning and a really good choice. The two staff each morning ensure there was always a clean table to choose upon arrival and as soon as anyone left the area their table was efficiently and swiftly tidied away and prepared for the next guests. Attention to detail was outstanding! My room was a double for single occupancy and perfectly prepared and tidied each day by house keeping who worked around my long lazy breakfast and later departure each day for an afternoon in town. All coffees etc were replaced for my return. The bed was extremely comfortable and the sheets had been laundered well - fresh and clean. There really was no complaint at all. Check out was efficiently handled. The room and all areas of the hotel that I used were spotless throughout and looked fresh and modern. As for location, I was about 30 seconds from the Plaza Republique which was perfect and it took me about 10 minutes to walk to the Old Town, which is an absolute must. Then up to Fourvière (there is a funicular railway, but I chose to walk!). This hotel is extremely highly recommended and I would most definitely return! Indeed, I hope to!

“Perfect location for city trip”

Perfect location for city trip. In the city center, 15min walk away from everything you want to see in Lyon on a short city trip. Nice and helpful staff, they have a deal with a nearby underground parking lot, although plenty of places in the streets if you come early enough. Clean, central, they h… more

As other reviews state, location is the big selling point for this hotel. The staff is courteous and there are some nice little touches in the lobby, like flavored water. There is a good selection at breakfast and there are tables outside which is great in good weather as there doesn't seem to be loads of traffic in the area. The rooms are small and I found them to be claustrophobic. The our room's decor was dark to begin with and then very small windows and drapes covering them made a big impression. There are nice room amenities and a small refrigerator.
