We agree with nearly all of the reviews written thus far. The hotel is a great find and -- for a city in France -- quite a bargain. No, it's not cheap, but try to find this sort of value for the money in Lyon and you'll look for a long, long time. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable.... more

We based our choice of the College hotel on viewing the hotel’s website. We arrived for our 2 night stay to find that they had booked the wrong dates on their reservation system. The hotel being fully occupied they were unable to honour their confirmed reservation for the 1st night. The reception staff were remarkably speedy in finding a room... more

The stay here was excellent. I must use the term in an earlier review... this place is funky. At first you kind of kringe but as you look more closely, you begin to understand and the place grows on you. You can not ask for a better location. It is in the middle of everything. The staff are extremely helpful.... more

The reviews on this site really do not do justice to this funky little hotel. Firstly the decor and theme are great. Our room was spacious with a large comfortable bed and a smaller bed for our son, likewise the bathroom and tub were a good size and very clean. This was all great but it gets better and the... more

This is a fabulous hotel, superbly situated in the old town of Lyon. The decor is great fun, the breakfast great and all the staff extremely helpful. Excellent value for a family, as the hotel staff will put one/two smaller beds in the room with the parents for no extra charge. If you have a car, reserve a space. more

This hotel is in a great location within walking distance from all the main sights. The rooms are small, all white but very clean and modern (flat-screen tv, wireless internet access, etc). We had a great room on the second floor with a terrace. Each floor has a fridge with free bottled water and soft drinks!!! The hotel staff was... more

The College is a basic three star hotel that has its good, and its bad points. On the plus side the location is excellent, the school theme leads to some interesting features and is clean and comfortable, there is a garage for autos, the breakfast is quite good and plenty of it, and the staff are polite and helpful. On... more

A nice hotel with individual character. The staff were helpful and friendly, the 1950s school theme was pleasingly quirky and the clean, modern, pure white rooms were very attractive. I stayed for a couple of nights in March when there aren't many tourists about so didn't notice much noise from the street. The location is excellent, just on the Northern... more

Very cute "school" themed hotel. The front desk is a gym horse, the breakfast room has school benches and there are text books in every room! Fortunately, there is no exit exam. All the rooms are white, white, white - they have flat screen tvs. We were in rooms 505 and 506 (on top of the hotel entrance) and there... more
