Hôtel Mercure Lyon Centre Plaza République (solo trip)

I'm always happy to return here! Spotlessly clean rooms (but some bathrooms are very small – if you are large, ask for an appropriate room assignment). Perfect location a short walk from lots of restaurants, shopping, and metro stops. Helpful front desk staff and wonderful breakfast (including fresh OJ & weekend crêpes!).

The place is just very underwhelming. Rooms look very old as the rest of the facility. Plus the layout of the rooms is very awkward let alone rooms are small. Also when I booked for 4 people the app asked me for an additional room which I never thought it literally meant that the family would be split. It should be made much clearer when booking.

Lovely hotel and excellent staff. My only criticism was the free wifi which was pretty close to useless so I turned it off my phone. Could get fast wifi if you were a member. So not any use to the majority of customers. Bar prices were also high so didn’t encourage the guests to have a drink there when there were so many bars around. But great hotel and highly recommended.

Stayed 4 nights, very welcoming and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom has a separate WC and the shower was modern . Everything was clean, very good sound proof. Location was very convenient to visit Lyon by foot. They have a bar open all day from the morning for coffees or tea. They also have a very nice small menu. Would highly recommend.

Rooms are a bit too small, but I feel like that's the French standard. Not amazing quality of the toilet area. But the service and amazing breakfast makes up for everything. Also, a very big TV in the room for those who like to use it🙂
