Awful money grabbing attitude
Everything here is an attempt to cut costs and make more money. Bed not made (fine), no Aircon despite crazy heat, towels for rent (3.5 euro), lose your keycard (5 euro to replace a bit of plastic), showers on very short timers, toiletries not refilled, bathrooms dirty with mould on ceilings, ants in rooms. Want to leave your bag for a few hours before leaving? Pay per hour for lockers. Awful awful attitude for a hostel.

No Aircon and noisy, but ok
Industrial style hostel with many rooms and not a whole lot of charm. Towels and breakfast both extra. Very hot evening when I was here and as far as I could tell no Aircon, so Windows open. Very noisy until probably 3am or 4am since it was a Saturday night in central Lyon.

Very nice hostel on the hearth of Lyon, 30m ftom metro station. Friendly staff, well secure, one minus is they dont have storage room. Instead of that you can leave your luggage at paid lockers. Rooms are big, clean, usb plugs at every bed. Only lack of curtain for individual bed. But in general great hostel. I would stay there again if were in Lyon again.

Hostel location was great, and you can’t beat the price for Lyon. However this is a hostel where you must bring your earplugs or noise canceling headphones due to thin walls and street noises well into the morning. Due to covid all hostel social activities are suspended.

Had a good stay at this hostel! The staff were nice, and they gave a coin for a free drink as a welcome gift. The WiFi is pretty good. In the women’s bathroom on the first floor, there are: 5 shower stalls, 2 toilet stalls, and one hair dryer. If you want to do laundry, it’s 6 euros. The aesthetic is pretty modern/minimalistic. They provide a full kitchen and fridge. They also have a cafe and bar. As for cleanliness, it was pretty good. The only thing I will say is that I came back one night and the sheets had a stain on them that I don’t recall...It was late so I just took off the sheets and slept as is.

Again staff was nice and great location. Issues: rooms were dirty. Floor was covered in hair and dirty, needed swept or vacuumed. The dorms were full of mosquitos. I mean full. I received almost 30 bites over the two nights and many on my face. The rooms were so hot that you had to leave the windows open (no fans, no AC) so that meant mosquitos. Pick your poison: mosquitos or cook in the dorms.

Overpriced and anti social
Well beds r hard as rock social vibe irrelevant, better and cheaper off having a party in ur own room than down in the common area. They need to organize a actual luggage room as well vs. Small laying lockers when u vould simply lpck the door to the luggage room like every other hostel on earth does. Staff are not as qualified as need to tlbe eother. Typical unorganized uneducated uncompfy french place.

Good spot to stay, needs shower improvement
Great clean hostel, very welcoming, loved cafe & bar aspect. However, shower didn’t stay on and didn’t have hot water - not sure if this was because it had been used up by other guests but did make it uncomfortable, and the bed had some hair on the bottom sheet still. However, had a great location with metro line just in park above & quite close to most things, just be prepared for a hilly walk if you choose to walk! Overall a great experience with just a couple ways to improve the comfort.

This is a great modern, clean and oragnaised hostel. The only drawback if any was that there weren't any hire towels available when our group first arrived. Probably due to the number of guests and the fact our lot are more accustomed to hotels so a massive group turned up with no stuff. Excellent

Away Hostel was comfortable, clean, friendly, and had a great vibe. There are lots of opportunities to meet other travelers. It's also close to both rivers in Lyon, squares, museums, good food, etc. Great value for my money!

Nice reception and the coffee shop is lovely. Had a double room with shared bathroom. The room was moderately clean and the bathrooms were alright. The dorm style showers were consistently dirty with very short timers for the water, and flooding outside of the shower, but the toilets were clean. Breakfast was good and the staff was very helpful and kind.

This hostel was absolutely amazing. They let me check in early as I had been traveling for 30 hours and the building was super clean. The beds are comfy and the staff is wonderful. I also loved the cafe in the hostel as they had special prices for guests.

The cafe was excellent, the reception desk was nice, the hostel was clean, the location was good. There was a good lounge area in the front, and a good dining area. The kitchen had one burner, but they had meals you could pay for. There was no AC in the dorm room and it was really hot. Someone in my room closed the windows to keep out the street noise and it trapped the hot air in. Also, the reception assigned me a bed that was already assigned. Then, they gave my second bed to someone else again. I kept having to go down to get a new bed. It was very disorganized. But, the staff were nice.

Christianne

Limpeza poderia ser melhor, principalmente nos banheiros. Wi-Fi não funcionou bem no quarto, somente na área comum. Poderia ter sido mais flexível quanto ao guardar mala por 1/2 dias para retorno. Até poderia deixar mas cobrariam Euro 50 o que achei um absurdo, já que tive postura bem diferente em outros hostels. Principalmente por estar com mala muito pesada, ela ficou na sala de segurança no andar da recepção. No site do Hotel constava na reserva dormitório de 8 camas e não tem essa opção. Além de constar elevador, o que também não tem.
