Our extended family of five took two rooms (standard double and junior suite) for a short overnight stay in Lyon. The Mercure Plaza Republique is in a good location to walk to most major sites of interest. Clean and safe public parking was nearby (within about a block), but as most other reviewers have noted, it gets pretty expensive -... More

For a short break in Lyon, this hotel is conveniently near all major shopping, the Opera, Tourist Office etc.and only 20 minutes across the river from Vieux Lyon with its cathedral and hosts of restaurants.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in October 2011. Although it is not the most spacious, room is clean and bed is comfortable. It is in a good central location, just off the main promenade in Presqu'ile. Many good restaurants and tourist sites within walking distance. More

The rooms are small and our bathroom minuscule. Careful not to slip in the tub---for older visitors it may be a problem to get in and out of it safely. The bed was very stiff: i found it comfortable but other people in our group thought it was too hard. Good pillows, very worn thin towels. Good but pricey breakfast... More
