Gallo-Roman Museum (Musee de la Civilization Gallo-Romaine) hotels in Lyon, France

Friendly staff and nice view of the shopping district and walking distance to Old Lyon.

We like Mercure and know we will get a good stay. This hotel is walking distance from all the major sights in Lyon. The breakfast was excellent. The room was a little small, but we have found that a lot in France.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds. Breakfast is well catered for, with a wide choice to suit all tastes. It is helpful that bathrobes and slippers are provided, especially if you want to travel light, with only hand luggage. The friendly staff spoke excellent English and couldn't do enough to help. The vintage lift is beautiful and adds to the whole atmosphere.

Stayed three days in Lyon. The hotel was in an excellent location. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants/bars, old town, the metro.

Quick stay in Lyon while controlling costs. Globe and Cecile met all criteria.

We had an awesome stay in Lyon. We were really happy with the hotel's location, and we found the staff to be incredibly helpful in answering our questions. Hotel is quick walk to Vieux Lyon and has lots of options for dining and shopping close by. The room was small but clean. Overall we found our stay at the hotel really pleasant.

Here's the most important thing to know about this hotel (and that I somehow completely missed): you cannot drive a car up to the front door of this hotel! It is located on a pedestrian street. It has some parking underneath, but you will need to stash your car somewhere else, go into the hotel to ask for a parking spot, and then move your car underneath. We parked at the nearby Parking des Célestins which was relatively easy (and I think less expensive). It's about a 7 minute walk. Location is otherwise quite good as it is near many restaurants and shopping. We walked across the river to explore Fourviere. We had a one bedroom apartment. The fold out bed in the living area was actual two singles, which was excellent for our two children. Bed and pillows were comfortable and overall it was quite clean (shower grout could use replacing). Some street noise as we were on the first floor and opened the windows to get fresh air on a warm evening.

If you are happy with a 2 star hotel, you could not do better for location, value and friendliness. We have stayed in Lyon three times and this hotel is definitely the best choice.
