Cool & Bed Reviews

my room was huge. they have many shower room which is separated girl and boy. they also have a big shower room. it was very good shower! hostel was clean. just a bit far from the central.

I had a great time. 24 hour reception is phenomenal. I would recommend this hostel to anyone travelling to Lyon. Breakfast til midday!!!!

Very clean, has good facilities including a kitchen, lots of showers and a social area. I enjoyed my stay here, definately reccomend it

very nice staff, friendly and helpful, clean rooms and nice public areas so it's easy to meet new friends, location not too far from the center, will come back for sure

Great hostel, except for the location. not close to the train or the good area of the city. I also thought there should be some sort of key for security purposes. other than that, the staff was cool, kitchen was great, beds were comfy enough and had lights, outlets and lockers. I also found it easy to meet people.

Girl at reception exrtremely helpful, SECURITY not that good, there were many times that staff were not at the front desk, specially at night, i had to take a taxi the following day to the airport instead of taking the trian, as nobody was there, i had to wait 45 minute,s which ended up paying much more money for my taxi to the airport, I felt really really angre about it,

Great place, although it is a bit out of the way of central Lyon.

Might just be the best hostel i've ever stayed. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms. Really nice =)

Top notch hostel! -Large lockers provided in the room for every bed. No need to bring your own lock, they'll provide one for a small deposit -Outlets next to each bed to charge your phone securely! Great atmosphere with cheap beer, etc. Highly recommended!

very nice chill vibe at this hostel. from the time pierre greeted me at reception it was a great experience. the hostel is very spacious and very clean and the music was a great mixture of stylesa. i always felt welcomed and met some really nice travellers. hira was really great and made me feel at home as did mathew and the young french woman and man at evening reception whose names i forgot. sorry. would definitely recomend

Hostel was quite nice, staff was friendly, only strange thing we detected was that you had to go throw bar for the toilet.

The room I used didn't have a room key but it wasn't a big problem because I was able to use a locker and borrow the lock with some deposit. In other words, it's free! It really helped me.Thank you!

Very clean, friendly staff, comfy beds

Nice place, even it's a little bit far from the centre ville, but it's not far from those famous places.

Good hostel - nice price and nice breakfirst. It is not quite in the center but well connected with the metro.

Nice, clean hostel not far away from Old Lyon (15 min on foot), but definitely not in the city centre; it's ok if you don't mind walking a little bit. Facilities are pretty good (big lockers, a small lamp and shelf in every bunk bed, a big kitchen for self-caterers, clean showers...), the breakfast is simple and not a big deal but, hey, it comes for free. All in all, a good choice in a functional way without being cold, but if you are looking to meet new people, this might not be the best place.

After travelling for three weeks and backpacking around Europe, this was my favorite hostel! It was clean and the decor was fun and welcoming. The staff was very helpful, the kitchen was well equipped, and they even had a free computer that you could use! The location was great, only about 15 minutes walk from Vieux Lyon (the historic old centre), and right around the corner from lots of shops and cafes and markets. I would definitely stay here again!

Place was a great place to stay and meet people Some stuff were very helpful however some not at all - would recommend staff being able to ask simple and common traveler questions re use of public transport in and around Lyon and how to get to and from the airport (a response I use my car is not helpful for a backpacker)

The positive: the staff were super friendly. There is a bar in the hostel making it easy to meet other travellers. The negative: you had to walk through the bar to get to the bathrooms. I felt very uncomfortable with this. The rooms were freezing and only one fleece blanket was provided. No locks on the doors. Location not great - 20 minutes walk to vieux lyon but not much along the way. Overall I wouldn't recommend mainly based on the location and the bathroom situation.

I'll definitely choose the same hostel if I visit Lyon again!
