We had a very good stay at Mercure Lyon Centre Plaza République. Everything was fine, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. A special mention to the gentleman who assisted us during check-out he was particularly kind and helpful, which made our departure a pleasant experience. Thank you for the great hospitality!
The smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in. For two people sharing it was tight. Barely zero room for bags and stuff. Good location though. Staff were helpful.

Overall a decent place to stay for a decent price. The room was clean, and on the smaller side, but served 2 of us for a 3 night stay. The AC did not work very well and we found the room warm even when it was on, mind you it was also during the heatwave. Staff was kind and helpful.
Great location, comfortable beds and friendly staff

One pillow per person not enough
The bartender made an amazing mojito cocktail
Great little hotel. Superb location just off Place de la Republique. Very near Metro.
Staff are immensely helpful and friendly.
Good choice for breakfast and very relaxing environment.
Clean rooms and very quiet.
Centrally located for almost any local site as well as many dining options around the hotel. Breakfast was plentiful and thoughtfully stocked. Staff was very nice.
A wonderful spread and great quality breakfast. The hotel was clean and modern, the main downside and reason for a 4/5 was the air conditioning in the room - it was quite weak and the integrated vent sort. I struggled to get to sleep, as it was still quite warm. I'd probably rate it 3.5 as a result.
I'd like to shout out the kind lady at reception who was there and took my bag when I arrived. She was very polite, remembered me when I came back after dropping my bag to check in, and was supportive with my lack of French language.
I know this is a cultural thing but there's a common reluctance to speak in English and it was really appreciated - it wasn't the case for all of the staff in the hotel, so a huge thank you to her for her consideration.
I should say firstly that the hotel was very nice and welcoming and the staff were friendly. It was very clean and the bar seemed ok but we didnt use it.
It was vey hot when we were there (over 35 degrees every day) and whilst the aircon worked and was on its highest setting, it didnt get cold enough overnight. The elevators also were a bit temperamental, there are only 2, one was always out order and the 2nd failed one day too, meaning we had to use the stairs to go up and down 7 flights.
Comfortable hotel in the best location in town. They will offer everything you expect for Mercure. Tons of good restaurants and shops are around the hotel.

This hotel is in a great location. Parking is tough but at least there is an unloading zone to drop off your luggage. Bed was comfortable. Our main complaint was NO hot water. Showers were extremely tough in cold water.
Room was nice, location is very central but quite. There was restauration of parts of hotel while I was there, so very limited common area, hotel was very expensive, in regard that there were no facilities.
The hotel is in a very good location — within walking distance to everywhere. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is excellent. However, the hotel staff are rude and aggressive. When I asked the bartender for a paper cup to drink water from the bar, he started yelling at me angrily. I found it inappropriate for such rude staff to work at a hotel where everything else is so good.
Although the hotel and it's location are strong points , it is the staff that are the real strength . welcoming ,friendly and happy to give a bit of local advise .
Hotel is centrally located. Great for walking and getting to your destination. Carrefour store just down the road about 700m. They have great salad bar. Hotel has a bar which has great cocktails! I really enjoyed basil gin smash. Very nice lady bar tender. Room has tea maker and mini fridge. Small but neat and functional.
