The College Hotel in Lyon was lovely, it was quirky and different in its style of decoration. The staff we interacted with were helpful and pleasant. The only downside was that a sinhle breakfast tray with used items and discarded food was left in the hallway from the afternoon when we arrived until the morning of our departure, maybe no staff member passed this way to clear it away BUT regardless it should not have been left in a corridor for over 12 hours.

Roof terrace in old Lyon

We had 4 nights here and were very happy with our stay. Rooms are comfortable (with a/c) and have a kettle but no mini-fridge. The decor in the hotel is interesting as it was apparently an old school, so there are desks etc. A real plus is the roof terrace with many plants---we could sit there in the evening and relax. Location is great---very close to a bus stop and to old Lyon and its many shops and eating places.
