This hostel was great, bit complicated to get to from the Station but excellent location to the main part of the city. The staff were great and very helpful, I would stay here again :)

Very cool and seemingly new hostel, with a huge lofted common room and a small bar in the corner, a well-stocked kitchen, and a great staff. No door locks, which struck me as odd, but there is a staff member on duty 24/7 and lockers in the rooms, so I guess it's okay. Location, though not right in the old town, is handy to a nice residential/small business area. Really enjoyed my stay here; recommended.

Really fantastic hostel would highly recommend staying here if your in Lyon. Everything was basically brand new and it has a really nice vibe. Also incredibly clean. Is a little out of the central part of Lyon and its down an alleyway off the street which they don't tell you in their directions but worth it for a comfy and nice place to stay.

It was not bad, but not good either. You can cook at the kitchen, but there is no many tools. Also, pillow is uncomfortable, so I used my neck pillow. Although they give clean sheets, The padding blanket and mattresses are not clean. Location is close from the train station and supermarkets. Staffs were not really friendly or kind.

Staff is really nice. Rooms are big enough and have different theme which is cool. Have to surf the internet in the public area but still convenient.

This appeared to be a relatively new hostel, so the facilities are really nice. It was great to have an outlet, shelf, a lamp, next to each bed.

A very nice hostel, with a very nice staff. They are really helpful, and you can have a nice chat accompanied by some drinks with them in the evening.

The hostel seems close from tour places, but it is really far way from the train station. The hostel is really clean, beds are comfy, wifi is fast and so on. even free breakfast. (Not really cool breakfast but reasonable)

We had a great time in Cool & Bed: Good and clean (!) rooms, the hostel isn't so big therefore we had a really good relation with the staff (all members speak fluently English), breakfast was good. Furthermore the hostel is near a metro station and two supermarkets --> really good. We'd go there for next time!

Location was not very good... had to walk a long way from town and didn't feel safe. Hostel was ok. Good to have a light and bench beside each bed and the bathroom was good. Not having a key made it feel a little unsafe. The staff were nice and helpful, and hostel overall was fine and clean for one night. Location just bad.

Just an all round good hostel. Really friendly, open and relaxed atmosphere, good kitchen and common area, breakfast included. Is a 30min walk fromt the centre of town so I would recommend buying a day ticket which is itself very reasonable. The long term residents such as "Classic Andrew" make you feel right at home. Would stay there again.

Second time I've stayed here on my trip and I loved it again. Great value, great people, really easy to meet others and hit the town. It's just a bit of a walk away from the centre, only a tiny complaint.
