    Nice and clean dorm rooms, very friendly hosts :-) Location in the city is optimal, you can walk to the metro station Saxe Gambetta in no time to reach the main railway station quickly. I would go there again for my next stay!

    There has to be an improvement in the cleanliness of the showers and the toilet. This is also due to guest attitude because you can have someone cleaning the toilet every 5 minutes! And just be careful when you walk at the neighborhood in midnight hours.

    I spent two days in a 4-bed dorm. It was ok in general. The staff was gentle and helpful. The breakfast was very cheap and something that can help you through the day. I would suggest it for short and cheap staying in Lyon. It is located in a central part of the city.

    The fridge and kitchen in general is a bit too small to place your stuff, so make sure you put in just the necessary. Also, you need a key to enter your room and you might forget to take it everytime you go out the room to the living room / kitchen.

    The hostel is really well located. Also, the vibe of it is really cool. Breakfast is so worthy, just 3€ a day and has so many options. It's really cheap also for people who will be staying for long. Staff is so friendly and kind. They open the door for you 24h.

    Nothing too serious but the outside of the building could really need a renovation. In general I did not like the street itself so much where the hostel was located. There were groups of men standing in corners and the nearby little park and unfortunately I got some unpleasant looks and calls, which made me feel a little unsafe, even in the middle of the day.

    The hostel and the staff working there were really nice. Everything was very clean, the bed was comfy and most important (as it was a very cold day when I was there) the shower was pleasant and hot. I really liked the interior of the common room with its different areas. There is as well a working place, really amazing if you have to do some computer work. The kitchen was well equipped. Also a big plus is the walking distance to the river, the city center and both of the main train stations.

    The dormitory room could use at least a table to put things at when searching something in the backpack. However it was no biggie. I was oversleeping, and it was manageable.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. Hostel has very nice vibe. We were just few people in the room, you get spacious cages to put your things in, beds are comfortable. It feels to me that they care.

    I liked the large common room. The common room was split into a kitchen, dining room, common space, place to read and working room. There was also a yard with tables and place to hang clothes.

    Rooms are very basic. The location (even though it is close to centre) it is a little bit strange. Safe, but strange.

    Location is very good close to the Old Town of Lyon. Price was extraordinary and cheap breakfast was available at request. Shared rooms are large enough and have separate toilets for male and female. A large living is available having kitchen also. Staff was great. I would stay again here.

    The location, the crowd, the beds made noise and were shaky, the hostel looked shady, people stole food even after labelling, the heater the room didn’t work, the guests in the room had no respect for other sleeping guests.. I can go on!

    The staff was really helpful and friendly. I reached 6 in the morning and the check in time was 3pm. I was exhausted and sleepy. The girl at the reception gave me the couch to sleep and I couldn’t be more thankful to her. Also, I was really cold at night, so another staff member gave me one more blanket.

    I felt unsafe as a woman walking the streets around the hostel alone. As a result of this, I did not want to be outside after sunset. Also, it seemed like a woman was living in the disabled shower cabin.

    Washrooms were cleaned during the daytime, blocking them for hours. There was no light in the room at first, then they changed the light bulb.

    Disappointing to say the least

    Upon entering the room, I was apalled by how small it was. There was hardly any space. The locker was literally like a cage. The shower was not consistent. There were mosquitoes in the room. The SFR and Orange Signal was very poor. The wifi signal was very poor and didn't work for the entire 2 day stay. The toilet paper ran out and there was no spare paper. The reception had to be contacted. Lyon is a great city. For a complete experience, I wouldn't advise staying here unless you don't mind a rude guy at the reception, claustrophobic room replete with mosquitoes, slow shower and beyond egregious internet connectivity.

    Have to admit, I was quite disappointed by this property. When I entered the hostel, the guy at the reception asked me to wait for 10 mins. I just asked the reason to which he cheekily said "Because you can see the computer is busy". The cocky tone doesn't set a very good precedent on a check-in. I even contemplated looking for other options. Thankfully, after 10 mins, the lady took over and was very kind and helpful with the overall process. Provided lock and the key with a 10 euro refundable deposit.
