same price than hilton / sheraton but far lowest quality. it's overpaid for this type of hotel. Asalways accor hotels are more expensive than any other. More

We just came back from staying at the Mercure Lemaire. While perhaps not being in downtown Lyon, it was still in the city limits and very close to the metro station.

The rooms are furnished in a modern style, but there is not a mini-bar in the room. The breakfast was not included in the price of the... More

Stayed at the Mercure Lumiere in August 2004. Renovations must have obviously been made since then by reading other reviews. The room was small, the bathroom dirty, the mini bar filthy and the staff grumpy. No charm whatsoever. More
