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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
