Paul

Everything was very good. Stuff are so polite and can speak English well. It’s good value for budget. And very close to old town and to lots of activities such as Bars, caffe and restaurants. I would stay again if i will visit to Lyon.

Khayal

Everything. It was clean, the staff was super friendly and nice and the waiting room is very comfortable.

Cosmin

Great location and a very beautiful view from the room, which was clean enough. Cozy beds with big locker for your stuff (you do need to bring your own lock, though, or rent one).

Laura

Finland

Great staff and location. Unbeatable value for money.

Philippe

Nice building, great staff (most of them), close to subway station. Empty spaces and enough privacy even in a 10-bed room

Huseyin

Is really near for train satiation. And very close to all attractions. I love this place! Hope to back soon.

Kevin

Great staff. Super location and relaxed vibes. Clean beds and decent space and nice high ceilings. Overall good hostel.

Edward

United Kingdom

Easy to get to from the train station. Not a bad walk to major areas. Very big hostel.

Cindy

The location is close to the river (great for walking) and the central cultural part of the city. A park and a hidden subway station across the street keep the area quieter for such a central location.

Don’t try and ask for a coffee 2 minutes after breakfast closes. That’s against the rules Can’t leave your bag on the last day without a charge. Even the cheapest hostels let you do that!! Also me and my friend both bitten by mosquitos (or maybe beg bugs..?) - this is on a cold weekend in November

“One of the staff was a bit rude ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
However, in the second day of my stay, someone sneaked in the hostel from outside. He got into my room and I was stolen my iPad. I actually put it in my locker with key, though, he broke it.(I found some broken keys in the bin) It is because my room’s door was not working well, so the door was not completely closed at that moment. Although some of my room mates has already reported that problem in a few days before, the staffs did not yet fix it. After I reported this issue to the staff, most of them were very sincere to apologise and tried to deal with that. I really appreciate for that. However, in the final day, when I was checking out, I was asked by the staff how your stay here was. As he didn’t know that I was the one who were suffered, I just described what happened for me because the answer of that question was honestly not good. He certainly apologised me first but he then told me “I’ve already heard the issue from my colleague. You should just write the review to report it because it is actually not my business as I’m a just receptionist. Some of the other staffs actually think so too.” It would be possibly true as the responsibility for this is probably on the manager of the hostel but I was quite disappointed about that. Even though it would be true, I still do not understand the reason why he told that in front of me. For me, it doesn’t make sense. Except him, most staffs were very nice, so it was very disappointing.
In general, the hostel is very clean, organised and most staffs are friendly.
