Mercure Paris Gare De Lyon TGV

This is a great hotel offering comfortable facilities and services. In particular, the receptionist, Rafael, is very competent and and friendly. He responded promptly to our requests and explained exactly what we needed to do when we had questions. I am very grateful to him for making my stay so pleasant. The rooms and the entire hotel is clean and modern. Many of the rooms have bathtubs, perfect for relaxing after a long trip, and the amenities are perfect. The hotel is conveniently located whether you are using Gare de Lyon as a base to travel to another city or to explore central Paris.

As I am often in the situation of having to take a TGV home to the South early in the morning, after a business stay in Paris region, Mercure Paris Gare de Lyon is always like coming home. Its unique location, right next to the Gare de Lyon, ensures that nothing can go wrong between getting up, having breakfast and catching the train. Moreover, rooms are small but comfortable, and breakfast is hearty. The hotel doesn't have a dinner restaurant but that is not a concern : the Gare de Lyon station square is surrounded by plenty of decent restaurants.

The cleanliness of the hotel is very good. But the room space is very small as in very small that you can’t event moved already. The location is very accessible for everything. Before we reach in Paris we had a plan to take bus on and bus off but when we get there we changed because it’s all accessible metro to metro and from metro to your destination is just walking distance.

Room was large enough and had USB plugs, breakfast was good, and the co-working space was excellent, I used it one morning. Staff friendly and helpful. The hotel is very comfortably located if you have a train at Gare de Lyon, and it is a nice neighbourhood, nearby you'll find a wonderful market, good local shops and artisan galleries and workshops, and good bistros, too - all just a few steps off the beaten track and the busy square. Plus metro lines to the rest of the just outside the door.

We stayed 2 nights and chose this for the location next to the Gare de Lyon as we were catching a train to Annecy early morning. If you venture out towards the Bastille there are plenty of bars and cafes with a lovely vibe and you can walk to the Ile de Cite and all the attractions very easily.
