Hotel is well located in the Vieux Lyon area. Close to key transport buses so easy to travel to main Lyon train station or other key city sites. Staff were friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was good. Room was very clean and bathroom modern. Plugs readying positioned to recharge phones etc. Still and sparkling water refill available for free in the foyer. Quirky themed hotel - it was once a school.

The College Hotel offers a fantastic experience that blends comfort, convenience, and excellent service. The location is unbeatable, putting you close to everything you need, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are cozy with comfortable bedding that ensures a great night's sleep. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff—they are incredibly accommodating, always going above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The onsite parking is a huge plus, though it's worth noting that you should reserve your spot in advance due to limited availability. Breakfast at the hotel is delightful, offering a great start to the day. Evenings on the terrace were a highlight—relaxing and enjoyable, with a lovely ambiance. Overall, I highly recommend The College Hotel and will definitely be staying here again.

It's located right in the old Lyon. You can walk all the way up to Notre-Dame de Fourvière and all the old streets. You can also walk easily to the city centre. There's a train station right next to the hotel, although I have no idea where the line takes you. If you don't like walking, there are trams not far, just across the river. The decor is very quirky and unique. The shower was great. I absolutely loved the terrace. You can even bring your own food, providing you get some drinks.

The location of this hotel was perfect in the heart of old town Lyon. There were many restaurants around the hotel to enjoy, and it was very easy to get to the metro/train from the hotel. The staff were amazing and very helpful when asked questions. They also allowed us to store our bags when our train was delayed which gave us a chance to explore more of the city.

The staff are very welcoming, have fantastic recommendations and are more than happy to help! The rooms are spacious and beautifully clean, air con ensures that they are kept at a nice temperature too. There's free mineral and sparkling water down at reception which is a nice touch too. The roof terrace is a lovely place to relax too, would definitely recommend! You also get a 10% discount at a local cocktail bar which was an added bonus as well as the central location!

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The location is great, close to many tourist attractions and public transport. Easy to reach many iconic sites on foot. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The hotel's atmosphere is very cool, like a trip back in time, and even the rooms follow this pattern. The rooms have the same theme as the entire hotel and were comfortable. Good breakfast, with organic and good quality options. There was always good drinking water available. Very beautiful terrace. It was good to see that they take a lot of environmental care.

The location in old city nearby restaurants, market, miniature museum, traboules and hop on hop off bus stop (called Vieux Lyon), metro/funicular etc is unbeatable. Very comfortable with school theme including classrooms:)) we asked for rooms next to eachother and I recommend undergraduate rooms 11 and 12 for families that need 2 rooms because u can lock the shared hallway and keep the room doors open (see photo). Graduate rooms are the top floors and have nice views of the city. Breakfast was extra-I think 19 euros per person. Not a huge buffet but adequate and everything pastries, cheese, tangerines, etc tasted delicious and we ate breakfast at the hotel. Clean, comfortable and kid-friendly.

Incredible location and lovely views. The terrace is beautiful although the waitress didn't really appear to want to serve us. All of the staff were friendly.

The hotel was very quaint and met all of my needs during my one night stay in Lyon. The breakfast was very pleasant and cost €15. Hotel used to be a school so it has a bit of a design related around college kids but very pleasant overall very satisfied highly recommend.

The room was a great value for the price in an excellent location. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was larger than I thought it would be. The decor was very funny because the hotel really committed to the college dormitory theme, and that meant some of the furniture was not so comfortable, but for a short stay it was fine.
