As recepcionistas faltaram com respeito. Não sabem se comunicar e ainda fizeram comentários maldosos quando peguei minhas chaves e fui para o quarto. Elas pensavam que eu não estava ouvindo mas eu ouvi tudo. O hotel fica muito distante da estação de metro mais próxima. O local a noite é hostil. Ha pessoas estranhas moradores de rua e usuarios de d***** nas redondezas. A tampa do vaso sanitário estava suja.

The receptionists lacked respect. They can't communicate and still made mean comments when I grabbed my keys and went to my room. They thought I wasn't listening but I heard everything. The hotel is a long way from the nearest subway station. The nightclub is hostile. There are strangers living on the streets and d***** users around. The toilet lid was dirty.

My experience in Eklo Hostel Lyon was below the average, being a traveler that have been in many hostels across Europe, starting from the reception first day arriving late and finding the door being closed, they got open with no indulgence and very cold welcome. Then getting surprised having the common spaces closed at midnight even tough it's on first floor where there is no room ! Coming to the hygiene of the rooms, I have found my bed to be dirty, not giving a drap, I had to clean it myself. ...

1.The transport is very good to get from the tram. 2.The water comes in through the gaps under the showerbox on the side of the facility and the toilet floor is raised, so it is easier to wipe with just one towel and a spoon. 3.The amenity is a spoon and a spoon with a single shower gel, but no empty bottle refill. 4.There is no toilet cleaning. 5.The dishes are 10 euros and highly recommended. 6.The Eklo Hotel is not on Google Maps and is marked as a restaurant. 7.There is no mini-refrigerator ...

Un hostel extrêmement pratique. Bon.accueilli par les équipes d'accueil, merci à eux.Les dortoirs femmes sont grands et bien équipés, la literie est bonne. La propreté est correcte , notamment quand les clientes sont propres ( j'ai connu un dortoir très sale lors d'un autre séjour à cause de cliente pas respectueuse). On est proche de tous les transports en commun. Je recommande.

If you don't have an occasion nearby, I wouldn't recommend. But it is a little far from the central area. Yes there is metro but the way you walk back does not really feel safe at night. Apart from that I was a little disappointed by the place. Because it has the potential to being a perfect facility but it lacks tiny things like hair dryer. And the biggest problem is that it was not clean. I saw hair on my bed and sink and the bathroom. Which is the biggest bummer.

Das Waschbecken ist mitten im Zimmer, was nervig ist wenn jemand spät abends sich die Hände wäscht/Zähne putzt. Man hört ALLES von Klo und die Zimmer Tür knallt extrem laut. Mein Bett hatte als einziges keinen Vorhang und es ist schon sehr außerhalb. Aber man ist in 30/40 min mit den Öffis in der Innenstadt und das Hostel war sauber.

Translated to English

The sink is in the middle of the room, which is annoying when someone washes their hands/brushes their teeth late at night. you hear ALL about Klo and the room door is banging extremely loudly. my bed was the only one without a curtain and it is already very outside. but you are in 30/40 minutes with the offices in the Innenstadt and the hostel was clean.

Nettes Hostel, besonders die Betten mit Vorhängen haben mir gut gefallen. Es fühlt sich jedoch nicht sonderlich belebt und gemeinschaftlich an, eher etwas mehr nach Hotel. Die Lage ist okay, gut angebunden, aber im Industiegebiet etwas fehl am Platze.

My stay in Eklo was amazing, the place is super cool, really cool, the only thing I think is kinda uncomfortable is the distance than the center of the city, what is really a shame because the hostel is beautiful. The staff is amazing too, probably is the best thing they have, super gentile, paying attention to each demand and offering help always. Thank you, Marvin, Mathieu, and the rest of the team, you rock!
