The People - Lyon

This hostel was great! I wouldn’t say it was the most social for young solo travelers; however, all the amenities were really convenient and the place was pretty clean overall. They have laundry and a kitchen with a fridge etc. which was super convenient for me personally (and the laundry isn’t too expensive). Location is uphill but overall in a great place, corner store is super close by. Bathroom was in our room. The shower did flood in our room once. Great stay overall and staff are frien...

An eclectic and charming place. Doubles as a popular hang out for locals and the two nights I was there the music and good times went until about 10:30, but got quite after that. It's a 15-20 minute walk to old town, though the walk back is all uphill. Still, friendly young staff, good food, and a nice big spot outside to relax when the weather is nice.

Nice location and friendly staff! Bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner, overall I’d recommend

It was a very comfortable stay, the beds have a lot of privacy and extra space to leave your stuff inside. It is generally spacious, the bathroom too. It was the best hostel I’ve been to.

Good location. Noisy AC (gas flowing through the pipes) in the room that you can’t even shut off. Very hot rooms that you cannot cool down. Moldy showers. Fire alarm in the middle of the night without any reason.

Ambiance très agréable, personnel accueillant, chambre un peu sale à mon goût et pas bien aérée mais il y a tout ce qu’il faut.

We booked a superior double room with a private ensuite for two nights. The space was simple yet spacious, clean, and quiet. The bed was even more comfortable than the one in our very nice hotel in Barcelona, and the view of the Basilica from our room was outstanding. The staff member who checked us in gave us a great dinner recommendation for a Monday night, which we really appreciated. The Croix-Rousse neighborhood is simply beautiful—fun, vibrant, and authentic, offering a refreshing contra...

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Autant pour les chambres et que pour les dortoirs. L’équipe est au top!

Things were fine until at breakfast I paid for the viennoiseries and there were none left and so she said she’ll get more and so I waited and waited and after 10 minutes I was like I have an appointment I have to go. How much longer ? And she said another 5 minutes. It was 8:30 am like don’t charge me for a breakfast you cannot provide. I asked for a refund and she was like oh I’ll have to charge you for the coffee which I didn’t touch because I was waiting. So rude. Her demeanor was so ...

Everything perfect, really clean, great space inside and outside, staff really kind. The only thing is that is up a hill so if you come from downtown on foot is a little bit a problem if you have a lot of bags or suitcases, but it’s well located.

The hostel was nice overall and the showers are amazing with the pressure and heat but it was BOILING in the beds and you couldn’t open the windows and no AC couldn’t sleep very well at all. yes there are hills but it’s honestly not that bad and it’s also not social at all unfortunately. overall good though!

The hostel was great overall, staff war incredible, one big issue was the kitchen though. the had 2 forks and 1 spoon only (while 20 or so knives were available). no big cutting knive and limited stove space made the kitchen pretty crowded. as an Energy saving measure, the light in the kitchen turned off every 3 mins.

great hostel. great vibe. great people. great location.

beds not comfortable- warm. kitchen was fine but people constantly sleeping in the chairs. weird to have a rest room in a kitchen. the location was very far from the train station.

Did not feel safe as a solo female. I had to switch rooms because a man was talking about “some of the women in my room might not wake up tomorrow morning”. The room was also disgusting even after the cleans. Pee all over the floors in the washroom 30 minutes after cleaning. I wouldn’t stay again if I went back

I stayed for 5 days in a 16-bed dorm. The price was excellent, and having a bar and restaurant on-site was a huge plus for the atmosphere. However, the cleanliness was disappointing. On my first day, I found hair and dirt under the mattress, which made me quite uncomfortable. It’s a great place for social vibes, but the housekeeping definitely needs improvement.

Overall good hostel

Schönes Hostel. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Großer Anstieg, um dort hinzukommen. Die Leute in meinem Zimmer waren leider nicht sehr sauber, aber alles wurde schnell gereinigt.

A good hostel if you just want to sleep or work but other than that it's an hostel for travellers or backpackers. There is no social vibes at all like in most of the French hostels unfortunately.

This hostel was clean, felt safe, and had enough space I suppose. The kitchen felt a bit small and common area was strange— not very big. But if you need a bed to sleep in and want it to be reliable, clean, with friendly staff, this place is certainly adequate.
