Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Very good location in between Gare Part Dieu and Vieux Lyon. Would absolutely stay again without doubt. As we were travelling all the time, we didn't get to use the fitness centre or swimming pool. Will have to go back to do that next time.

It’s a real pleasure to read that our ideal location, in the heart of Lyon between Part-Dieu Station and Vieux Lyon, made it easy for you to get around.

Philippe T. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

Well-located and reasonably accessible hotel. Spacious room. However, the air conditioning was inadequate. The room felt stuffy overnight and therefore the sleeping experience was rather poor.

Dear Philippe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are delighted that our location, the hotel’s accessibility, and the size of your room met your expectations. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the malfunctioning air conditioning. We fully understand that a temperature that is too high can significantly disrupt sleep and make for an unpleasant night. Please don’t hesitate to contact the front desk at any time during your stay: our staff is available 24 hours a day to address the issue or offer an alternative solution. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a comfortable and cool stay. Best regards, The Mercure Saxe Team

Parisa G. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The first room we got, AC was not working we sweated till morning and the day after. They said there was an electricity issue and it is fixed. But there was no difference. After us insisting there was a nice receptionist that moved us to another room which was completely different. The hotel says has a swimming pool, but it was more like a hot tub.

Dear Parisa, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we are delighted that you found our location convenient and appreciated the friendliness of our front desk staff, we are sincerely sorry that the hotel itself was so disappointing. We sincerely apologize for the major inconvenience caused by the malfunctioning air conditioning in your first room. Unfortunately, the current heat wave caused a widespread power outage in the neighborhood, which was beyond our control. Although our staff believed the problem had been resolved when they explained the situation to you, the system took some time to restart properly, and we deeply regret that you had to insist on a room change. We hope that our team’s eventual responsiveness will leave you with a positive impression and that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back under much better conditions. Best regards, The Mercure Saxe Team
