Paul
Very clean and comfortable property. We stayed with two kids, and the separate room with a tv was nice to have. The front desk staff especially was outstanding. A refrigerator in the room would be nice, but the staff was very gracious about storing food in the refrigerator in the check in area, so it was no problem.
Raul
Beautiful property. Incredible location with perfect access to all of Old Lyon. I will stay here again, just wish there was a fridge in the room but other than that, it is a neat perfect hotel for our family of 4.
Dan
Wonderful hotel and stay! Staff was very helpful. Highly recommended!
Elaina
This is a beautiful hotel, with much character! The rooms were comfortable and we appreciated having access to a water dispenser. The location was great, with many restaurants and shops with walking distance, as well as easy access to public transportation.
Unfortunately, we visited during a heat wave and the air conditioning was not working, it took a some time for it to get resolved, but in the end it was worked out. Would have liked to have access to a fitness center, but the charm and character of the hotel was worth the trade off.

Great size and beautiful room
Lauren
As advertised. Great location. Clean room. Historic building. Wish it had a mini fridge but cold water available in lobby.
Ruth
This wonderful hotel features both a GREAT location and historical ambience. I hate picking on them about running out of shower caps to enjoy their magnificent rain showers, I should have remembered my own. This was a fantastic experience and we loved this hotel.
Jason
The Académie Hôtel Lyon was a excellent stay. Good central location. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful and courteous. The breakfast was delicious and eating out front in the morning was a beautiful setting. Would visit again when in the area.
Gary
Room was very clean and roomy. It’s a very old building and there are rooms that have no windows though. That’s fine if there is a significant price difference but not good for a multi-night stay. Best to call in advance to try to get one of the couple of rooms that have windows.
It’s also perfectly located just outside the old city. Easy walk to everything.

Mark
Our hotel room was amazing! We got a double room for our family and it was so spacious and beautiful! The original elements of the building are preserved and are like going back in time, but with the modern updates blended that feel very clean and nice. Loved reading about the history of the building and seeing the architecture. The elevator was super convenient. Everything was walkable
Lorraine
This hotel was built in the 1400s and is of historical significance. It is a beautiful place to stay. The staff is very friendly and all of the room amenities were excellent. We had a suite with two full bathrooms and two bedrooms it was facing the inner courtyard so the room was very quiet. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
Elizabeth
The staff was great and very helpful. The breakfast was good too. But the room was so small we couldn't move. And there was no storage. Also, since I have some mobility challenges, the stairs into the room and up to the lift were difficult for me.
Mary
Great location to walk all of old town and city center. Room was extremely cozy with ice layout and plenty of space. Very comfortable bedding.
alexander
We have stayed here before, and it was an outstanding experience, and that’s why we came back. Just superlative in every way.
Candace
Great location. Quiet but near old town Lyon with great cafes, shopping and bakeries. Near the metro and easy to get to local attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Charming, adequate, and clean. If you want breakfast order it the evening before. Loved our visit and highly recommend our hotel.
Stephanie
I would not recommend this hotel. It is in a great location and has ac BUT there are no windows to the exterior (window merely looks out into corridor inside building) so room feels like a jail cell. Double bed is actually 2 twins side by side which separate as you move in bed. Room and bathroom very small so hard to move around if traveling with a second person. The check in desk is not well marked and the person who gave us our room key never gave us a code to get back into the building so when we got back at about 23:00, we had no way to get in.
Sunil
Very unique hotel in heart of old Lyon. Room 101 was very spacious for us and 2 kids with 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Kids nicknamed their bathroom the “cave”. Many restaurants in walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel for Lyon star.
John
Incredibly convenient place to stay in Veaux Lyon.
SUSAN

Dane
The staff was fabulous.The location is perfect, but do not accept room one.It's a closet room 102 and the others are seemingly fabulous
Tracy
It was a treat - highly recommend it
Hal
Nice staff, good location, and quaint overall. Rooms are comparatively small, so tradeoffs are involved. Breakfast overpriced for quality and quantity.
Kelly
Fabulous boutique hotel, walkable to all of Lyon’s sights. Fabulous dining nearby at all of the authentic Bouchon’s.
Brian
Are family of 6 booked two Lumiere suites, with 3 people in each room. We could not have been happier with the accomodation and location. The quality of the rooms is outstanding and both rooms were light filled. Our rooms were on level 3 and 4 and over looked the street below, but with double windows so incredibly quiet and dark at night (the curtains were complete block out).
Location was unbelievable….we walked everywhere. Excellent value for money and would come back and stay here without considering any other options if we return to Lyon (which I hope we do!)
Thanks for an amazing stay team. 10 out of 10 accomodation, location, staff, amenities etc

Janice R
Being in a very old building meant the room was unique. Some good points: excellent lighting, many electrical outlets, an espresso machine. Also although this was the Vieux Lyon area with many bars and restaurants, the double windows meant it was very quiet. Even within the room, one could not hear anything from the toilet room or bathroom room.
Rachel
It’s a treat to have had 2 bathrooms in the room for a family of 3. The beds were very comfortable and gave us a restful sleep. The location is convenient—just a short walk to the old town. Hotel parking is a 7-minute walk.
John
Ideally situated in Old Lyon, however the hotel is very small. It's a 4* hotel & the room was well-equipped but there was no storage space. As an internal room, the only window looked out onto the stairway so you needed to keep curtain shut for any privacy.
Sarah
Loved this hotel! It was central to everything and very walkable. We had a car and were able to park, but they do need to figure out a way to give your pass for parking without having to return it because you can’t easily drop up to the hotel The staff were very sweet and the hotel was so cool and eclectic would definitely stay there again
Tom
Room was wonderful. Front desk staff seemed disinterested
Pamela
Clean room, nice staff.
Richard
Fun hotel with quirky layout. In the best part of old town Lyon.
Darrell
The location in Old Lyon was ideal. Many tours start at Place du Change, 50 m from the Académie Hotel.
Maria
Wonderful stay
Lovely small hotel in great location. Loved the free extras of water bottles for the room.
Spacious rooms and really appreciated the separate bathroom and toilet in ours.

Family holiday
The hotel is in a perfect location right in the old town. It was a very quiet area. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was quite spacious for 3 adults, however the sofa bed was the kitchen area which was a little tight. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed staying here.
Alistair
Overhead shower did not work despite asking about it numerous times.
Nilima
Great location, clean room, spacious for a family of 4.
Jennifer
Great setup for family. Really liked decor and layout of hotel. Nice amenity to have sink in room and water flat and bubbly to put in glass bottles to take to room. Very clean and convenient.
Julia
The hotel is newly renovated and they did a great job. We loved the themed rooms. The welcome gift was a nice tough. The breakfast was good.
The area was safe and there were a ton of options for food and sightseeing, all within walking distance of the hotel. I highly recommend staying at the Acadamie Hotel Lyon

From the outside, it’s doesn’t look like much- but the rooms were great .. so unique and beautiful- in old town right my all the action- one of our faves
Danielle
We stayed with a larger group (our family + grandparents = 7 people) and appreciated the family suites- they came with two full bathrooms and a door that separated the sleeping areas. They were spacious and provided enough room for 2 adults and 1-2 kids to move around in easily. We appreciated the espresso machines/coffee as well as option to refill water pitchers with sparkling or still water from dispenser in lobby. Hotel is affiliated with the College Hotel across the street and this allowed us to do breakfast at their buffet; the Academie has a smaller breakfast set up that requires pre-notice; the buffet across the street was ample and had great staff as well. The location was ideal- right at the top of Vieux Lyon, where you'll find bouchons, shopping and access to the subway to get to all the other sights! Le Fines Gueules (bouchon) should not to be missed and just steps from the hotel's door.
Alecia
The hotel more than met our expectations. Our family of 4 stayed in the room on the 4th floor and it had plenty of room for all of us. Would definitely stay again.

I loved how they kept many of the buildings original features with a modern flare. The high ceilings are amazing! Very clean and staff were very friendly. Easy walk to the tram that brings you up to the Basilica.

Expérience hors de l’ordinaire! Service à la clientèle impeccable, une foule de petites attentions personnalisées qui te font sentir important et apprécié, vraiment extra!!!
La suite lumière est SU-BLI-ME. Famille de 4 avec 2 jeunes adultes, c’était parfait. Difficile de trouver des chambres en France qui offrent 4 bons lits dans la même chambre. Les banquettes qui sont à la fois des lits simples étaient parfaites! Très grande pièce avec un mur complet de fenêtres, cachet très soigné, superbe décor thématique, propreté sans faille, beaucoup de rangement, deux toilettes séparées. Emplacement géographique parfait, aucun bruit la nuit.
Vraiment sous le charme de cet endroit du 16e siècle qui est rénové au goût du jour avec des employés hors pair!!!

Terrific historic hotel in a great location. Friendly, helpful staff, good air conditioning and comfortable family room with 2 bathrooms! Highly recommend to all.
Laura
Very good location with friendly staff. Rooms have a dark feel and the AC is minimal with no fan circulation. There is a terrible smell in the hallway. Probably would not stay here again. It has an elevator but you still have to navigate a circular stone stairwell with your luggage.

The hotel is in a perfect location in Old Lyon and is walkable to many excellent restaurants and shops. The staff was very helpful and gave us recommendations. Overall we had a great experience.
Nina
This is a perfectly situated small hotel right in the old part of Lyon, steps away from all the shops and restaurants, and a short bridge walk away from the city. We were with our teenage daughter in a family room, and it was spacious and lovely. The staff was also wonderful. The next time we're in Lyon we'll be back.

Hotel Academie as the name suggests was indeed an academy in the 14th century. The hotel has been remodeled Beautifully to keep the spiral staircase and the landings with a few steps to each room. Each floor must have 4 rooms. They are very rustic and finished with a grandeur look to it.
We had booked a suite and each room had its own bath and toilet; amenities included 2 TVs , an armoire in the 2nd bedroom and desks for each bedroom.
The furnishings and bed linens looked inviting for a comfortable good night’s sleep.
It’s a hidden gem.

The room was lovely, spacious, and spotless with a beautiful bathroom and top notch amenities. Besides great beds and luxurious linens, the front desk person was very welcoming and helpful. A real find!

Great location in old Lyon. We got a “family” room which was 2 bathrooms and 2 rooms, 1 with a king bed and one with 2 single beds a small table and chairs - perfect for me and my 2 daughters. Nicely updated room, air conditioning and nice bathrooms. The building is beautiful
. Liked the water station to refill bottles and the option to have breakfast if we wanted. The stag was friendly and helpful, they reserved a cab for us to get back to the train station. Walkable to a lot of the sites, public transit, restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous property, recently renovated, and located right in Vieux Lyon. Everything is walkable, there are many good restaurants, bars, ice cream, shops, etc. While the neighborhood feels like you have stepped back in time, the rooms are very modern and well appointed. We were a group of three female travelers and the room was able to be arranged perfectly for us with three separate sleeping spaces. I’d definitely go back.
Julie
Beautiful building! Interesting rooms. Fantastic theming. Modern bathrooms, lots of space, and the staff is so friendly and helpful! I was there once this year and am coming back soon because it was just so lovely I don’t want to try another place.
Peter
Very quaint hotel in fabulous old town. Staff were great, and room very clean. Only issue was a/c not working yet, although listed as having a/c. However, locacation and character won out.
Graeme
Great locations and comfortable rooms
Amazing location with a short walk to most of the major attractions of Lyon. Located in the old town you are minutes away from lots of restaurants and bars however the double glazing means none of the street sounds come into the room.
The rooms were large and well maintained. Access was easy and everything just worked. Would recommend and stay again.

Exceptional boutique hotel with great staff
This hotel was exceptional. A great location near the river and other sights, we really enjoyed the service and room. The check-in staff are some of the best we've come across as they were very friendly and helpful. Our room was so lovely we didn't want to leave. We loved how eco it was with refillable water bottles in the lobby and loose leaf tea bags in the room. We would come back again no question.
Caro J.
The room had a separate seating area that was nice. The parking was a little confusing, but the person at the desk explained how it works.
Janet Tucker
We loved the location and that staff. Our only wish was for a fan or more ventilation in the 1st floor Traboule room we stayed in. Otherwise, how cool to stay in a Traboule! So much history here.

Winnie
Convenient location in old town
It is renoveted old house in old town. Interesting layout. From the elevator, we need to walk some spiral staircases to get to our room, not convenient. When with luggage, it is kind of dangerous. The gabage cans are very small. Whe we check in, the front desk staff was not there and door is locked. We waited in the rain. Besides these, the stay was ok.
Nina
Everything about my stay was just perfection. The front staff exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived I felt like I was going to feel right at home. The location is so ideal as well and many city highlights are nearby. I would not hesitate to book with this hotel again for my next visit to Lyon. Thank you Academie Hotel for making my trip so memorable!

Lovely hotel in great location. Very comfortable and large rooms.

Top floor, great windows and light. Really well done aesthetic. Understated simplicity and elegance.

We loved our stay at this hotel. We will return in two weeks for our next visit to Lyon - proof of our satisfaction.

This was the perfect location for our visit to Lyon. Easy access to metro. Impressive old building turned into a stunning hotel.

Fantastic hotel, close to everything.

This is not a four-star hotel. There were no amenities in the room, you had to go downstairs and get them for yourself. There was no refrigerator in the room. There was no closet in the room. I was not able to adjust the heat in the room. The beds, while comfortable, had only a heavy comforter on them. Thus it was either too hot to sleep with a comforter on or cold without the comforter. The overhead shower barely dripped water out. Well, most of the front staff was pleasant. One person was particularly rude, I asked for my room key, giving him my name and number of the room, and he kept on asking me what my name was and this is after he gave me the key. The room with the shower in it had a very strong musty smell to it.

Maybe you’d like to find something else
Room wasn’t ready, as 3rd person bed wasn’t made.
They forgot to contact parking so we got stuck in car elevator for 20min. Elevator doors being opened manually.
They had issue with bad batch coffee in the morning breakfast.
Even with do not disturb sign, they enter the room.
Checking out I asked to see manager, since there wasn’t any. Asked to be called. No one called.
Sent an email using hotel.com it’s been 5 days still nothing.
I don’t recommend.

Perfect Vieux Lyon stay
Perfect location, beautiful hotel full of original features.

Les employés manque de professionnalisme
Accueil amateur tellement vue le nom j’ai penser à une école mais non. Aucune communication entre les employés qui semble tous être atteints du déficit d’attention ont est rester coincé dans un ascenseur à voiture 20 minutes car il fallait qu’un employé ouvre la porte manuellement et non vous pouvez pas le faire vous même puisque c’est trop étroit pour ouvrir une porte. Et même à notre départ en ayant signalé le problème à l’arrivée meme problème. Chambre pas préparer correctement, propreté limite. Le jour du départ malgré la pancarte ne pas déranger et le départ jusqu’à midi à 10h20 la femme de chambre entre dans la chambre. Déjà la pancarte et ensuite le jour du départ il attend que tu sois parti pour faire le grand ménage. Et en passant il y a 12 chambres donc pas trop compliqué pour la communication. Vraiment très décevant.

Excellent short stay in old town Lyon
Superb historical location at the edge of old town. Perfect for a 3-4 day stay when visiting Lyon 1st time. Historic building means there are certain physical limitations but they did a great job with decors & renos. I rate it 4.25 stars by international hotel standards. Showers can be cleaner. Stairways outside can smell due to historical layout. Parking is a bit of a pain if you are not used to cramped euro-style & not in same building.
Andrew
We really enjoyed our stay at L’Académie Hôtel. The building has a lovely sense of history and is very well located for exploring old Lyon.
Ronald
Vacation within a vacation.
We were there just one night as an overnight trip from our stay in Paris. The hotel was close to a lot of restaurants and things to do. The staff was super friendly and the hotel had a lot of unique character. I would stay there again for sure.
