Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre Lumière

Staff were really helpful and friendly. The location was ideal. Within 2 minute walk of the D (Green) metro line - Sans-Souci - which took you directly to the old town, if you get off at Vieux Lyon you can then get the funicular to St Just and then walk down towards Fourviere and into the old town. There are so many lovely restaurants here, look out for the Bouchons which have wonderful food at really good prices, I recommend the Restaurant le Vieux Lyon which had some good 3 course menus. The mainline station of Part-Dieu is around a 15-20 min walk and you can get the express tram to the airport there. Right next to the hotel is a little supermarket and across the road is Pizza Cosy where you can get the best pizza's or salad. We were only in town for a few days for the Olympic events and so didn't get to eat at the hotel but the breakfast looked good value. The hotel has a water fountain downstairs with cold still and sparkling water that you can take back to your room, this was a real benefit especially when the weather was so warm. Definitely recommend, fantastic value hotel for stay in Lyon.

The location was good and well connected to the center (especially the metro) The staff was very nice and accommodating, readily available to answer questions or help with any questions. The rooms were clean and spacious shower The cafe area was relaxing with water fountain and free popcorn!

Even though we arrived at the hotel before check-in time, our room was ready. Since we had stayed at this hotel before, I knew it was close to public transportation. Breakfast and cleaning were good. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Location, quiet area, nearby metro stations, very helpful staff, possibility of opening the window in the room

The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating. We arrived one day late due to flight changes, and communication with the hotel was quick and easy.
