The College Hotel in Lyon was lovely, it was quirky and different in its style of decoration. The staff we interacted with were helpful and pleasant. The only downside was that a sinhle breakfast tray with used items and discarded food was left in the hallway from the afternoon when we arrived until the morning of our departure, maybe no staff member passed this way to clear it away BUT regardless it should not have been left in a corridor for over 12 hours.

Hôtel très bien situé pour visiter la ville de Lyon, mais c’est tout! Ascenseur hors d’usage durant notre séjour de trois nuits! Air climatisé hors d’usage donc dormir avec la fenêtre ouverte sur la rue bruyante jusqu’au milieu de la nuit!!!! Le déjeuner sur place offert est trop cher, donc aller déjeuner aux restos juste à côté. Chambre correcte avec literie confortable toutefois pas de draps, seulement une couette. Trop chaud pour dormir à moins d’être en camping dehors!!! L’hôtel a besoin d’un bon nettoyage dans les espaces communs.

The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. While it’s rated as a 4-star property, travelers should note that the standards differ from what you might expect in Mexico, Canada, or the U.S. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay for a couple of days and offers a comfortable, welcoming experience.

What an awesome hotel! It is right in the middle of Old Lyon so everything was in walking distance or easy to hop on a bus or train to go further. We were able to get two rooms that were side by side and it was great for our family of five to be close with enough room for all of us.

To start, the elevator made a lot of noise, and the door panels were missing screws, which caused a scratching noise every time the doors opened and closed. The room wasn't properly cleaned, and there were a lot of small mosquitoes in the bathroom. It didn’t feel clean, and the fixtures looked cheap and old

Roof terrace in old Lyon

We had 4 nights here and were very happy with our stay. Rooms are comfortable (with a/c) and have a kettle but no mini-fridge. The decor in the hotel is interesting as it was apparently an old school, so there are desks etc. A real plus is the roof terrace with many plants---we could sit there in the evening and relax. Location is great---very close to a bus stop and to old Lyon and its many shops and eating places.
