This Mercury was very good quality for the price of the room . Traveling with a tween can be challenging to find accommodation but the rooms with double beds were spacious and well equipped. The hotel is only a 15 minutes walk from the commercial heart of the city and to a lot of dining options.

Family friendly and comfortable hotel. Spacious rooms, incredibly friendly staff, clean and great location to walk to all areas of Lyon. Pool is smaller than we expected but children still had fun. Breakfast buffet was good value for money with varied options of cooked and continental. Would definitely go back if ever in Lyon.

The only thing I would suggest is that they check their a/c, they worked but they were turned up during the day and when we returned we had to lower the temperature down and it took time to cool down. Otherwise really enjoyed our stay at the Mercure.

Nice, clean hotel. They offer excellent breakfast. Very polite staff, fluent in english. Couple of minor things in the room: bathroom door wasn’t locking, needed adjustment, safe wasn’t working, but since we were staying just one night i did not bother to ask for fix or assistance, i recommend this hotel.
