Precisely renovated in 2023, the Academy offers travelers who stay there a unique hotel experience at the heart of the History of Knowledge. Located in the historic district of Old Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, L'Académie offers an ideal location allowing travelers to enjoy direct access to all the tourist activities available to the City of Lyon (museums, monuments, best restaurants and stops…) Designed in a building dating from 1406, this luxury hotel offers 12 rooms and suites in a neat decor inspired by the world of French Academicians who shaped the knowledge of our world. French ceilings, woodwork, solid parquet floors and high-end materials tastefully decorate the rooms and suites of this exceptional establishment. The latter, depending on the category, offer a view of the emblematic cobbled streets of Old Lyon or of a private courtyard. All rooms and suites have private bathrooms. They are air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a TV and free Wi-Fi access. A continental breakfast is served daily for an extra charge. The Academy is also committed to more responsible tourism and is implementing various actions to protect the environment, reduce waste and energy consumption. It has a French window as the main opening and is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Access to the room is via the courtyard of the establishment.

Pleasant
Fantastic location in Vieux Lyon, right in the middle of the super tourist area, close to many wonderful sites. Really cool old property that has been completely renovated.
The room was the smallest we have ever been in -smaller than Paris, NY, Tokyo, etc. It also was only reachable via several stairs from the elevator. Not a big deal but almost killed ourselves on step down into room that was not signaled. The tiny tiny closet that held the toilet and the other tiny closet that held the shower also had a very strong, unpleasant smell of asparagus or something similar.

Room, location, fresh/hot croissants during breakfast, staff's friendliness helpfulness and responsiveness, science decor
A/C wasn't cold enough, a fan would've helped (would've opened the window but there were insects flying in)

It was nicely located, and a room was very comfortable. The bed was especially nice. We liked having large windows that would open.
They were very slow to respond to our questions about getting to the hotel prior to our arrival. Some of the people at the front desk were not especially helpful. however, Rose was a miracle worker. She went out of her way to help us.

Friendly staff and very responsive. We received an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner and the croissants they sent us with upon our early morning departure were the best we had on our trip. Was happy with how our concerns were addressed when I contacted them after our stay. The location was ideal - right in the heart of everything we wanted to see.
Our room was on the ground floor and I think we would have liked the rooms and had a better experience on the higher floors more.

Old World Charm combined with the location within classic historic district.
The stone staircase was a little challenging with luggage. And we had challenges with the AC controls. (User error I am sure).

The hotel is located in the center of the old town. The hotel is made as if you live in a tower, which is great. It is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, but the hotel is quiet and cozy. There are attractions near the hotel. The staff is polite and ready to help.
The room is very small. There was sewerage smell from the shower. There was no shampoo or shower gel in the bathroom, just a soap.

Very Poor
The location was fine.
This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel so I couldn’t have anticipated a very small double room with no window and the smell of drains ( when we mentioned this to receptionist she just said it was an old building as if that justified the stench). The breakfast was 25 euros each and consisted of cold scrambled egg on a side plate with cured meat. I couldn’t even get an orange juice. I must find out who allocates these stars and put in a complaint because this was a rip-off and a horrible experience.

Beautiful room with everything we needed and lots of space. Very comfortable bed. Close to the river, restaurants and the old town.
The hotel car parking was quite tricky with a big car.

The staff is super nice and tries to accommodate every wish. Breakfast is very good. The location in old town is great.
The rooms are extremely small with almost no space to unpack. The pipe smell in the washroom is very unpleasant. 4 stars and the price seem rather high for what you get.
