Mercure Paris Gare De Lyon TGV

On arrival, Marie-Claire, the attendant on the front desk did everything she could to accommodate our large group quickly and efficiently. She was able to offer an earlier check-in time which we were super grateful for after long-haul international flights, as well as accessible bathroom options for some of the mobility-challenged members in our group. The breakfast was lavish and had everything you could want, there were even multiple GF bread options which was surprising and appreciated. And we only had a few hundred metres to walk to our train platform in the morning for onward travel.

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 room was beautiful and gave a good view of the street. Its incorporation into the Gare de Lyon made it very convenient to catch a TGV train to Switzerland the following day. The breakfast was very good.

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.
