أكاديمي أوتل ليون

This hotel is located perfectly for exploring the old city of Lyon. Only A short distance from new city and shops and metro station is just A 5min walk. Funiculare/string is located at metro station. Rooms are excellent and breakfast is available is the hotel.

We stayed in an "Apartment" room at the Académie Hotel for two nights in August 2025. The location in Vieux Lyon is excellent, but unfortunately the overall experience fell short of expectations. - The room was marketed as an apartment, yet it lacked basic amenities such as plates, utensils, and any means to prepare food. - There was no minibar or mini-fridge. While not always standard in Europe, this stood out given that our nightly rate here was higher than at comparable hotels in London, Paris, Annecy, and Geneva, all of which included this feature. - The air conditioning was restricted to a minimum of 23°C and could not be adjusted lower, which made the room uncomfortably warm. - The bathroom light could not be switched off. No configuration of switches in the room resolved this issue, resulting in an awkwardly lit space at night. - Breakfast was disappointing. It is prepared by the front desk attendant, who was clearly overextended, and the quality reflected that. At €19 per person, the offering felt poor value—for example, the scrambled eggs were cooked in a pot and arrived broken into 100s of uneven fragments. - Luggage storage was unsecured. Bags were left in the open lobby, which was only intermittently staffed by a single employee. The property has strong potential given its location and charm, but the number of small but significant shortcomings makes it difficult to justify the price.

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

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

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.
