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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.
