Reviews of Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre Beaux-Arts
Dorothy Eure
We had the best experience at this hotel! The room was lovely! The hotel location was perfect for walking around Lyon, close to the market by the river, shops, and many excellent restaurants. It was an easy walk across the bridge to old town. The staff was the absolute best! After we had issues with our train into Lyon, Camilla at the front desk, was so helpful with advice, guiding us on how to re...

The hotel is right in the heart of the city, close to cafés, restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. Everything can be done on foot, which is very convenient. The room was spacious, clean, quiet, and had a great view. I really appreciate hotels that provide bathroom amenities, and here they had a shower cap, toothbrush, sewing kit, and shaving kit which is rare nowadays but very thoughtful. ...

Very nice breakfast room (extra). Staff very friendly! Recommend high...

Our only suggestion for improvement is that the breakfast room is really small and dark, it can get very crowded and there were often...
