Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I loved that it was cheap and safe for a single female traveler. The staff were very kind held my luggage and answered all my questions. Keep in mind the vote is right in the city but at the top of the city so you have to either take the tram or get a car there. (Tram stops going uphill at 11pm).

    Fantastic location, very comfortable room and nicely fitted. Most importantly it is in a great location from which to explore the city. I could walk to the train station in 20 minutes and to the centre in about the same length of time. Great value for money (although prices vary a lot and I got cheap rates on a Sunday). Staff were wonderful and went above and beyond for me when I lost something.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! Everything is extremely clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I really liked the curtains for the beds in the dormitories that provided some privacy and protection from the light in case some roommates come in late at night. The included breakfast is great as well! I definitely recommend staying here.

    I stayed in a 4-room dormitory with breakfast, and it was a good stay for one night. The room was clean, the hostel is modern, and the breakfast was sufficient. The staff were also nice and spoke English fluently.

    The view of Lyon from the terrace is beautiful; that in itself was worth the stay. The common spaces were inviting and the staff was helpful. Great location for those looking for a little history... and a little challenge, walking up and down the hill to the hostel. Restaurants and pubs just down the hill, and lots of shops just across the bridge. Light and plug in bunk were helpful.

    The hostel is very well located, in downtown, and close supermarket, metro and bus station. Because of its great location, there is traffic and can be very loud at night. The rooms are clean, but the bathroom and the kitchen could be clean more frequently. Nice staff, safe accommodation, and good price.
