Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room we had was very clean and very comfortable with large lockers. The location is great because it’s only about a 10 minute walk to the center of the city, to the Hotel de Ville (City Hall). There’s a very nice courtyard just off of the reception and bar area which is a great place to meet. The staff was really nice and very helpful so we thank them very much. The buildings in the area have a lot of graffiti, so at first it seemed a little sketchy. But it felt fine once we got acquainted with the area around the hostel. One thing to note: if you have a car, parking is very difficult and very expensive (55 Euros/day street parking, and 43 Euros/day for garage parking). I asked ChatGPT to tell me where there is free parking, and it said the ninth district has free parking on the street, so you’ll have to walk about 10 to 15 minutes. But you will save money.

Great hotel on a hill

Hotel was clean and welcoming! Lots to do/eat on the ground floor. Room was a bit dark, but very comfortable. Hotel was close to everything, but located on a steep hill, so be prepared.

Family's holiday

The Hostel is very comfortable Nice and modern with a lovely bar on the ground floor. The only negative point is the position,up on the hill,so it's not very easy to reach if you are coming with luggages or buggies and young kids. Overall is a good price for the expensive Lyon.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Cleanliness could be improved: the sheets were clean but the room itself was dirty/dusty. The same about common area/kitchen. The only clean space was the highkey restaurant. If you have heavy baggage better dont opt for this hostel as it would be difficult to carry it uphill. Pros: good location, comfyatress, the girl at reception was friendly, you can leave your luggage for free. Overall for a hostel: great price performamvr ratio.

Comfy but noisy

Lovely hostel/hotel with warm and welcoming staff. The room was clean and tidy and the beds a were comfy. Only minus with our stay was the fact that we stayed on the second floor just above the bar where very loud music was played every night until midnight. Which made our room very noisy until the music was turned off.
