Hotel Mercure Paris Gare de Lyon TGV

We booked this hotel primarily because of its location, it being only a five minute walk to the platform for the TGV to Switzerland. Our room was good, being clean, quiet, and possessing all the features one would expect, including a safe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and all in all, the it was good value. We are intending to go back next January.

Very convenient hotel we you need to get the TGV. Very efficient and welcoming staff at the reception and at the “Corner” area. Breakfast is good with many varieties of food. The rooms are clean and just the right size for a short stay. I really enjoy the co-working are that I used many times. Special rate for hotel residents, good internet and services. So good place well located to around Paris walking or metro.

Stayed at Mercure Gare de Lyon for 2 days and really enjoyed my stay. For central Paris I think room size is just ok. Checked in early by a very professional lady. Clean lobby, clean room. Just next to the station which was fine for us as we took public transport. The hotel can call a meter cab which was more or less the same price as Uber. Very good breakfast and clean. For us it was perfect for the price we were prepared to pay. Room is clean. The weather was beautiful and the hotel has an outside seating at the front and you can watch people walk pass, very lively. All in all, very good experience. We would go back next time we are in Paris. Just to let you know that you have to pay for a locker to keep your luggage stored when you check out.

I stayed in this hotel twice in late July, in transit to/from the Eurostar and trains south from Gare de Lyon. As a transit location, it's great - when you arrive at Gare de Lyon, follow signs to Hall 1 where the TGVs go from. There's no entrance from inside the station hall, it's on the outside of the station building. Our first stay was pretty good - the room is very small but it has everything you need, and a good sized bathroom. There were some extra pillows in the wardrobe to make the bed a bit more comfortable. We had a room which faced on to the roof of the station so pretty quiet. The aircon was reasonable. The second stay was not so good. We arrived very late on Saturday night due to a heavily delayed TGV and so were given what I assume was the last available twin room in the hotel. It was nearly opposite the lifts but the main problem was that it faced out of the front of the hotel, on to the square. One of the pubs or clubs nearby plays thumping music until at least midnight so it was pretty awful. There were no extra pillows in this room so all in all not a very comfortable stay. Overall I would say it is overpriced for what it is, but you are paying for the location. I would go elsewhere rather than stay in one of the rooms at the front again. The staff at reception were very nice on both occasions.
