Mercure Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

The Mercure Hotel Gare Part-Dieu is a well-located, modern hotel, perfect for travelers using Lyon’s train station. It’s easy to reach from the airport, and despite being in the city center, the rooms are impressively quiet. Our room was well-appointed, featuring a separate shower and sink from the toilet, plus a kettle with tea-making facilities. The main bed was large and comfortable, though the fold-out bed was less so—but manageable for a short stay. It's also perfectly located for visiting all of Lyons main attractions, with easy walk to metro, bus and trams. The staff were very helpful and friendly. My daughters loved the Geckos and fish tanks in reception. The people of Lyon were also very kind and spoke excellent English, compared to my very clumsy French. The hotel has a stylish restaurant downstairs, which looked quite posh, though not ideal for dining with kids. Fortunately, the nearby train station offers plenty of breakfast options, including Paul’s, Pret, Starbucks, and local bakeries etc. For airport transport, the Rhônexpress is quick but pricey, clearly aimed at tourists. Due to ongoing work on the line, we ended up using other public transport, which was more affordable. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay, especially for those traveling via Lyon’s train station.

Spacious accommodation, clean and very comfortable beds. The location is superb. Adjacent to the train station, the opposite is the big shopping centre and beyond its building is a really great area for dining out.

This should be a 5 star hotel!! Breakfast simply amazing, variety and quality! Room on the 9th floor, huge, superb bathroom and everyday cleaning was exceptional! Room service helpful to have. Staff so polite. Last but not least location of hotel close to train station and tram. But not noisy at all. We stayed almost 2 weeks so we got a good feeling for the hotel and we loved every minute!

Staff was very helpful, provided us sightseeing and restaurant recommendations(which was indeed great). Room size was reasonable. Location is prefect, situated right beside the main train station to other cities and the tram station which takes you direct from the airport.

The hotel is located with easy access to the train station, metro, tram and bus lines, which made touring the city much easier. The little amenities like cold water as you come in, or the mini-croissants as you leave, made for a welcoming sense of comfort. The staff was very hospitable and accommodating
