Overpriced for the service & standards.
Very understaffed. Buffet breakfast vas very limited and ran out by 9am and wasn’t refilled.
Room was dusty and single bedsheets too small for the beds.
Staff not very helpful, surprising as they’re in a customer service role.
On the positive side the design and decoration of the hotel and communal area is great!

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.

Nice and clean however there was no shampoo provided as described and you had to pay to rent a towell and lock for the storage lockers. Food and drinks were average for the price.
