    The room was small and the air was heavy because of that. Pillows are very small and flat. Bathroom is shared with a toilet- not convenient for a hostel. Bathroom was quite shabby.

    Staff is great. Lobby has a good atmosphere and very large. Room is clean

    They charge you a good money but don't put bedsheets by themselves. The upper beds have no cover, so much less privacy. The neighborhood is sketchy, it's central yeah but its dirty and full of sketch people.

    People working there are nice.

    I wished there was a bigger common area to work in, as the wifi was very weak on my bed, and the main lounge area was quite compact. It was raining when I arrived and the only way to access my room was a patio that was basically flooded with puddles and pretty slippery.

    The staff were nice, and the room was pretty straightforward. The location was fairly near to a Metro stop so it is easily accessible, though it is not close to old town Lyon. Breakfast was great, and I liked the general atmosphere/decor!

    The bathroom door didn't close, so don't expect any privacy if you're staying with someone... It's nothing major, but still a bit annoying! I think they should pay attention to this kind of details. Also, the walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbor showering and the other guests talking in the corridor.

    The location was good even though I don't think I would have felt comfortable walking in this area alone by night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed comfy, it was good for one night.

    The location. Unfortunately, as a woman solo traveler I didn’t feel safe at this region. It wasn’t the hostel, but the neighborhood.

    Plug and light on the bed. It’s a calm place. There’s a kitchen to cook. Close to metros and bus, shops.

    This is a well-run hostel. While central, it's located in some dump of an area in the city center full of weird people after dark, and frankly has 0 travel vibes. The average age is maybe 50+. Beds are comfy, but the dorm room is loud.

    The location is pretty close to the public transport, however it's still in a alley that make me feel a little nervous when passing during nights.

    The staff is really kind and friendly, she let me left my luggage there the whole day and I even went back for a little rest in the lobby and used the bathroom after checking out. The bed and shower rooms are clean, the room and lobby was decorated cozy, and I also like they have a little curtain near each bed to give more privacy.
