Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette

Mercure is a great hotel with excellent staff. They are friendly and professional. Parking fee of EU28/day is a high but reasonable. Slight downside is construction noise opposite during July 2024

We stayed here for four nights in August 2024 and felt very comfortable. The hotel is located about a 10-minute walk from the railway station (Part-Dieu) and about 10 minutes from the main shopping centre on the peninsula between the two rivers. From there it's another 10-minute walk to the old town. On the corner across the road from the hotel is a medium-sized supermarket and there are several restaurants in surrounding streets. The hotel has a nice foyer/bar area. The bar serves drinks and, in terms of food, pizza and a few other light snacks. However, Le Garage is the restaurant within the hotel. We didn't use it but it seemed to provide everything. Our room was large with the usual amenities. The wifi worked well, and there was no noise. For a long-ish, four-night stay we felt very comfortable here because of the location and the size of our room. We would be happy to return.

The property was fair. Location was not near any restaurants open on the weekend. Staff was sort of helpful, but did not offer any additional assistance like getting a taxi. Increased rates on a Sunday night. I’m sure it was for the Taylor Swift tax. Town was not equipped to handle concert and influx of tourists

Staff were helpful upon arrival. Assisted with scheduling with very early morning transport to airport. Close to metro and bus. Located close to old Lyon city
