Collège Hôtel

The Collège Hôtel was perfect for our 4-night stay in Lyon! The location is great, within an easy walk to so many fun neighborhoods and multiple metro stops. The team could not have been nicer and more accommodating and the terrace is gorgeous. The water bottle-filling station is an underrated amenity!

Dreadful. They are lying about being a 4 Star hotel. It is one two Star at best. It is like Student acommodation. This is Basic, Basic, Basic. The kettle is not clean. The Iron Provided was broken. And we have been in the room for only 1.5 hours.

Has such an great stay here. Rooms were cozy but comfortable and clean. We had a room with a balcony and it had beautiful views. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Conveniently located. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We stayed overnight and had a great stay at the Collège Hôtel! Location Great location in Lyon near the old town. The facilities are fresh and updated and has a clear concept. Parking There is a parking solution close to the hotel but can be quite hars to get to. I'd recommend to first park outside the hotel and get directions from the staff. Service Great service and friendly staff that helped out with directions and questions

This hotel is “ok”. Small things could have been done to give a better value. The rooms could have more hooks but that is a personal preference. In general I felt it was not good value for the cost. We had the most expensive room category. Keep looking you can find better less expensive centrally located hotels.

We had stayed here before as the location is excellent and the common areas are beautifully presented, but had found our room a little lacking so went for a larger one this time. Unfortunately despite having a bit more space, we still found the room quite mean, austere and charmless. I realise the "school" theme of the hotel lends itself to a sort of "dormitory chic", but they've gone a bit too far with it for my comfort - meagre lighting, exposed cables, and a breeze-block masquerading as a night-table made it feel more like a Young Offenders Institution. Two nights was more than enough.||The breakfast is good and the dining area is charming, but the staff are a bit cool and disinterested (apart from one young guy as we were checking out, who had a bit of warmth about him.). Lyon can be a great place to stay and explore, but next time we'll go for a hotel where we can relax in our room a bit. After a long day's drive down from Northern France, we really needed something with a bit more comfort.

The hotel's prime advantage is the location in the old town of Lyon. Near to every tourist sight, but also with good nearby communications and an onboard garage.||The garage is rather special since your car is lifted by an elevator to the garage floor. A bit narrow and tricky to park, but fully usable. 25 EUR/night.||The "school theme" is implemented throughout: interior, furniture etc. It's a little worn out - supposedly on purpose... The blackboard and chalk theme implies a lot of ... well black and white on doors, walls and furniture. If you like it - fine. If not - it's a bit dreary.||Rooms fair, albeit somewhat austere. AC present. Beds nice.|Nothing fancy, but ok overall.||Breakfast fine including fresh bakeries and even waffles.||The "main attraction" is however the large terrace built on top of the garage section. There's a bar where you can have a drink and a snack. Up there you have a view over vieux Lyon.||In view of the excellent location, the terrace, the garage and the fairly good basic standard, it must be considered as affordable.

The rooms are ok. Good beds. Perfect location. Dont bother to upgrade. No value for money - only view.Would recommend to stay here. Perfect Location in the old city.

This hotel is in a great location: near the major public bus line, near a couple of squares surrounded by shopping and restaurants, short walk to the river and location of river tour boat departure point. It takes its name and theme because the hotel is near various schools and colleges, so when you walk in, the lobby looks like a comfy conversation area in a college. The breakfast room looks like a classroom. School desks line a hallway. Even the rooms look like a college dorm. But that is why this is 4-stars instead of 5. The room are clean and the decor is cute, but there simply not enough flat surfaces to put things on. No closet, but a locker instead. Best of all - the rooftop bar, which hosts a happy hour every afternoon! That should push the rating to 5-stars, I guess! It's a nice place to stay in a great location.

Great service people but very dirty room. Mould in bathroom. Food and who knows what on walls. Definitely not a four star hotel.

This was a lovely place to stay. The location was so convenient, right in Vieux Lyon and only a mile from the Fourviere Basilica. Plus, it's right next to the bus stop that will take you to the airport. The room was large and spacious, clean and beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. There's even free water bottles in a little fridge on each floor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would come back again.

First impressions were very good, le welcome is extremly good, le room clean, the hotel is very original, it was a college before, and it's kept many objets from it's history Breakfast is very good and the breakfast room is just wonderfull The only bad news is that outside there are many bars and restaurants as its a very lively area, so it can be quite noisy, ask for hi up room, the 7th floor for instance and a room on the side or back if possible, we stayed a Saturday night maybe other nights are quieter. All in all a very nice and original hotel We will be back next time we come to Lyon

I'd expect much much more from a hotel that's 4-stars. The location offered by this hotel was nice, but that's about where it stopped! The rooms are cold, and hard feeling. Furniture is cheap (Nightstands are cinderblocks). I understand the "College" concept, but it could have been executed much better. This can't be compensated for by the free softdrinks they offer. The receptionist was very rude and didn't communicate with her other colleagues. We thought they money charged for parking was a bargain. However, we arrived just 1 hour after we'd arranged to pick up the car, and were charged for another 24 hours. We were not informed ahead of time, and they lied about the time we said we'd arrive back. They were very rude and non-negotiable about charging our credit card for the charges. I've always though French people were very friendly, but I truly think this lady didn't like us because we are American. If you want location and free soft drinks, stay here. If you value anything else, say customer service. Stay elsewhere.
