Mercure Paris Gare De Lyon TGV

Hotel was located right beside the train station and well decorated.

The room was tidy, clean, and bright. We chose a triple room, which was spacious enough for us. The breakfast was also very abundant. The location was right next to the Gare de Lyon, just a few steps to the right after exiting. This was extremely convenient for someone like me who dawdles but needs to catch a morning train. The only downside was that the front desk staff on the day we checked in was cold and somewhat impatient throughout the entire process. When I finally said thank you to her, she didn't even look at me, which was very dismissive. I couldn't help but suspect that she might be racially prejudiced.

The only advantage of this hotel is a the location that next to train station, considering the price and services, it is a terrible value-for-money selection. We have never been to any hotel that luggage storage is only for guests before check-in. Guests requiring luggage storage after check-out are required to pay for the expensive coin lockers. The front desk is not welcoming by tones and gestures - no smiles at all. The gym is too small and without any windows.

Location is superb just next to Gare de Lyon. Lots of shops and restaurants around.

Booked this hotel for its proximity to the Gare de Lyon train station, it is just right next to it and makes it very convenient. Room is clean, small as expected for location and price. Counter staff were all very friendly and helpful. Asked for food recommendations and they suggested L'Européen opposite the station which was a lovely french bistro. For luggage storage, there is a charge but once you sign up for the Accor membership it will be complimentary. Recommend to stay if you like the convenience!

the receptionists are all very nice and helpful but the servers at the breakfast buffet made too much noise while collecting tablewares, not welcoming atmosphere
