what a disillusion entering in a "de luxe room" in which only antique forniture,bathrobe,TV colour,complimentary nescafè and toiletries offered were the "luxe". WC (little and short) in a little separed narrow room,no bidet,not working fountains,obstructed basin and bathtube,concierge with always busy phone,employees absent and no care for the customer....these are the real peculiarities of this hotel, central but.....just beside railway.... more

We stayed in this hotel as part of a package deal for 3 nights. We arrived by TGV at Lyon Part Dieu and then took a train across town to Gare Perrache which is 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The station also has a metro stop for the A line which goes into the city centre (change at Bellecourt... more

This hotel suffered a little bit because of its location. The building is quite nice and the rooms are OK. The outlook directly over the railway yards is not very pretty. The outlook towards the old town is quite pretty however. The hotel was good value. If I was returning to Lyon, however, I would stay closer to the old... more

I stayed at the Grand Mercure for one night in june 2007. I initially had intended to stay at another Mercure property, but since I reserved quite late, there was no other choice, and for a single night I didn't care much anyway. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Perrache railway station, and although my room overlooked the... more

I stayed for one night at this hotel in Lyon on 27 Feb 07. It took us quite a while to check in as we were in group of 13. This gave me the impression that the hotel staff had no clue how to handle group check-in. The reason for booking this hotel is its location as it is just... more

I have stayed here for business purposes 19th of February. It was not my first stay here, as I have booked this property already on previous earlier occasions. I like to return to it, because I like the elegant style (Art Nouveau / Belle Epoque). I must admit however that my previous rooms where somewhere better than my last one.... more

We stayed here two nights during a recent trip. Had asked for a larger room as travelling with our 12 year old son, and were very pleasantly surprised to get a room with a large bedroom and a separate large lounge area. Staff were helpful and food was good. Arrived by TGV from Paris and only had to walk about... more

We stayed just one night at this hotel and liked it very much. The reception room and the dining room decor are really something - dramatic and elegant. Staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived in Lyon at the other train station and took a taxi (12 euros) to this hotel. We were impressed the moment we pulled up. I... more

We booked this hotel through the Mercure reservations web site. It is an old style hotel with period style fittings and furnishings, and large rooms with high ceilings, but it is all a bit tired and slightly run down. Our room on 2nd floor was comfortable, spacious and quiet, even though it looked out on to the railway station. The... more
