A nice hotel, good value for money. But the surroundings - the Perrache railway station unfortunately is not a nice place, especially not when you walk back after dinner. Mercure could improve the beds a bit, from 'ok' to comfortable.Please. Nice staff, VERY quiet and large rooms!!

The hotel has obviously been around for some time. A lot of the original Art Nouveau panels and details have been kept in the public areas, while the rooms are renovated with respect to the Art Nouveau style and the restaurant was very pleasant. The hotel is located in the end of Lyon City Centre next to Perrache Station and... More

The staff at this hotel, made us feel very welcome, and were very helpful when we asked numerous questions about getting around Lyon.The room was very small and dark but quiet considering the hotel is right next to the Perrache railway station.The bathroom was quite large though! We ate at the hotel restaurant twice, dinner when we arrived late on... More

On a 5 week trip through Italy and France, this was our third hotel and the worst so far (others have been great). We were allocated a room on the 5th floor. Upon reviewing the fire safety floor plans, it is the floor with the smallest rooms, and ours was the smallest on the floor. How it can be sold... More

Very conveniently located right beside the Perrache station if you are travelling via rail. We had requested a room on the other side of the station so we weren't too bothered by the noise of the trains.The rooms are spacious with all the necessary furnishings however keep in mind the rooms are a little worn. The front desk staff were... More

I have stayed in the Hotel in the end of January. It was quite a great suite, I guess all the rooms in the hotel are suites. Very spacious with your own fire place and all the luxuries. I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Lyon.

The hotel is located right beside the Perrache station which has the expected draw backs at night (though the noise isn't thát bad). It also makes it ideally located on a public transportation hub. On foot you are a fifteen minute plus walk from Vieux Lion, maybe half an hour from the good restaurants so keep that in mind. The... More

We were very pleased with the Château Perrache – the exterior has a lot of history to it (the old Hotel Terminus of Klaus Barbie’s Gestapo fame), just next to the main Perrache rail station, and the interiors have a kind of historical elegance. It is super-convenient for people who have come by train, and the extremely attractive walkway from... More

This is definitely a business hotel, not for tourists. On our recent trip to Lyon we thought we were going to be within walking distance of the train station, which we were, but the trains we were taking on our trip came into the other station. Without a car this hotel is remote from good restaurants, and tourist sights. We... More
