The reception was very nice. Staff there were helpful. The room was big. My room had a very very good... More

I stayed here for one night. It was hot (no air conditioning) and the place smelled a bit like sewage. The bathrooms were pretty gross. My dorm room was fine, but cramped and no lockers. The staff was friendly and helpful at least. Bar/terrace has a gorgeous view of the city, especially at night. Right as I got there, the... More

My review is very similar to everyone elses. Amazing view, nice, friendly atmosphere with mixed ages of people, good location as it is very close to the most beautiful parts of Lyon. However, as said in many other reviews; the (it has to be said - female) staff were not very concerned to help. They kept telling people they were... More

First of all I need to mention that this youth hostel is very inexpensive, that's why I didnt expect too much. TO ALL TRAVELLERS: You don't need to drag your luggage all the way up the hill- there is a Metro Station up at Monteé du Chemin Neuf! The station is maybe 100m away from the hostel and when you...

The staff were overall really helpful and friendly. I appreciated that they spoke English pretty well. The co-ed washrooms seemed kind of sketchy. The "shower" room is literally a showerhead in a small room, which was kind of uncomfortable to use because I'd have to keep on pressing the button constantly or the water would stop running. Other than that... More

The staff is not very welcoming. To access the internet wifi is a nightmare because the passwords are not enough and limited, and they are valid for 24 hours. To get a new password the staff is constantly saying that there are not enough passwords because the people take all the time the papers. The kitchen is small and the... More

I spent one night here, refused to shower and went the next morning to book a hotel through the tourist bureau. The bedroom itself was comfortable enough. Only 6 people to a room is much nicer than the 20 beds to a room hostel I'd been in in Amsterdam. There seemed to be people of all ages here, which I... More
