What amazing people work at the Mercure Hotel in Lyon, France. My husband and I stayed there while traveling, and during our trip we were carrying 300 euros between us. I kept 100 euros in large bills separate from another 50 euros in small bills for tips. At some point, I realized the larger bills were missing, but I had no idea where or when I had lost them, so I just let my husband handle the tipping afterward.
Soon after we returned home, I received an email from Expedia saying I had a credit of $132 from the Mercure Hotel in Lyon, with no explanation. Then it suddenly hit me — it must have been the 100 euros I accidentally left behind in our hotel room.
I was truly touched by the honesty and kindness of the hotel staff. In today’s world, this level of integrity is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you for making our stay not only comfortable, but also memorable for all the right reasons.

Old but well kept hotel. There is a big supermarket just next door, there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance and the city center is around 10 minutes on foot.
I would not expect the car park to be more than double the price of a city center public parking space, so plan and book accordingly.
The room was roomy and clean. Some of the towels were a little old and could soon be replaced. One mattress needs to be replaced now. It sags, leans to the left, and is bent ⅔ of the way up from the bottom on the left side. Complimentary shampoo, conditioner and lotion would have been nice.
Rooms really nice and spacious
Reception staff really friendly
Restaurant staff not as helpful, waited a long time for someone to acknowledge you when ordering drinks in the bar area, breakfast was a good selection but the hot section was cold a little disappointed
One BIG problem: no functioning WiFi during our stay.
Restaurant needs a new menu with different choices. Options are very limited.
Friendly and efficient staff.
Valet parking worked very well, thank you.
Very Comfortable hotel, friendly staff and quick to help!
Rooms were very spacious,
Walking distance to shopping and dining across the Rhone, Halles de Bocouse. Thank you!!
Good location, valet parking very helpful, large clean room with good air-conditioning and housekeeping, and a friendly staff, all at a very reasonable rate.
The room was clean and modern with nice lighting and a great shower. The market nearby is amazing but the neighbourhood is no Vieux Lyon. We wish the room had a wine bottle opener and the we had some warning about the fire drill.
