Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette

This was a nice hotel. The room was huge, the common areas very nice. Breakfast was delightful, in a large and interesting room with nice variety of breads, yoghurt, cereal and some hot food. The fruit was however, very poor quality with pieces gone bad sitting on the plate and the pineapple pieces looking like it had been out for days. The hotel is quite a distance from the TGV but they provide a shuttle. It is of similar distance to the river and restaurants, which therefore requires some walking each night. The restaurant in the Hotel was not operating while we were there.

The hotel is well situated for exploring the historic parts of the city and for access to the international conference venue. The staff are polite & helpful and the rooms clean and comfortable. Views from some bedrooms are not very interesting, however the hotel is generally very smart and comfortable. The restaurant was particularly good.

Excellent hotel, quite, nice beds, very good staff and very good location
