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.

The room and bathroom were clean. Very quirky, would have been more comfortable with more storage, comfortable flooring and the very high ceiling was strange. Wouldn’t have liked to use the bunks.

La chambre et la literie était très bien mais dommage pour l’isolation phonique de la rue et le fait qu’il n’y ait pas de store pour la lumière du jour. Déçu par le petit déjeuner vide 1h avant la fin.
