    Laundry washing machine didn't spin out clothes very well, so had to dry for a long time. Pods can get a little hot despite the air-conditioning.

    Comfortable and private pods. Very modern interior, it looks freshly renovated. Onsite laundry is good value. Staff are friendly. Had air-conditioning and lifts. Onsite bar is clean and serves nice beer and food. Generously sized lockers. Good showers.

    Lockers didn't lock without a thick travel lock. Not suitable for smaller locks. Bed can get quite warm in the evenings

    Beautiful, modern facilities in a gorgeous neighbourhood, walking distance from any of the sites and scenery. Privacy curtain is lovely, with ensuites in the room. Easy to meet people in the shared kitchen or at the restaurant. Place to leave bags between check-out and travel.

    It was towards the top of a very steep hill - I was glad I wasn’t dragging heavy luggage. Not a complaint - just something to be aware of. If you have older bones (🙂) or a label of flexibility - request the bottom cube!!!!

    Friendly staff. Clean bathroom. Lovely communal gatherings in the evening where you could partake as little or as much as you wished. Good soundproofing

    The bicycle racks in the courtyard are in the open, so bring a cover or risk you gear getting drenched if it rains.

    Not much to complain about regarding the stay itself!

    -The breakfast wasn`t really good, there was always something missing and the staff took a long time to bring it The rooms are not well -Rooms are not well soundproofed. The surroundings are not noisy, but if someone is loud in the corridor (for example children shouting early in the morning), then you can hear everything in the room.

    The beds are quite loud and also had travellers 50+ in my room despite the age cap of 30- something theoretically being in place (which just felt a bit awkward). The place lacked a bit of hostel atmosphere even in common areas.

    Quite nice standards of the rooms, a lot of events, good cafe downstairs. Very helpful staff!

    The tables tend to have bread crumbles that could be cleaned more often but nothing that would ruin an experience. I think some guests should lower their voice when speaking inside the rooms, maybe a sign inside the room would work. But most of them are friendly and polite.

    The guys in the front desk are nice, food is a bit expensive but it is good I think. Beds are comfortable and even though they have some vinylish material to protect them, they are fresh to sleep. Coffee was good and I could send some emails from the restaurant, something that is appreciated.

    I appreciated the capsule system of beds, curtains on each booth. It is clean, calm. The perfect buffet and bar underneath, far from sleeping area where you can choose the breakfast or have a shot in the evening. The location is very good for exploring old Lyon. Wi-Fi works perfectly.

    The location is at the hill part of Lyon, right in the middle of a hill. Doesn’t matter you walk down from metro station (Croix rouge) or bus station from the park (climb up ) you both need to suffer with big luggage.

    8 people dorm is quite large with several windows so the fresh air come threw it’s pretty decent. Quite at night and the bath, toilet are separated which is very useful for sharing.

    The light in the room could be better. And if you do not have a reasonable physical condition, to go from the city back to the hotel could be a little challenge due to the hill that you have to climb :)))

    The hotel is very clean, fancy and with a nice design. We were upgraded to a Standard XL room which was a nice surprise. The room was big enough, clean, with a very comfortable bed. Also the bathroom was a nice surprise (with a big plus for the shower floor and bath products). The breakfast is delicious, not many options but what you receive is very good quality and enough to start perfect the day. Is not something that you don't like but you need to know that there is no TV or fridge in the room, if this is important for you. And also no safe in the room. Instead, there is a fully common kitchen at the first floor, where you find a fridge, cooking options etc. And also at the 1st floor are the lockers, so if you arrive early and the room is not ready, or you want to let something as a laptop for e.g. you can use this lockers (there are small, medium and large, with prices starting from 2 euro/hour up to ~20 euro/24 hours). The hotel has a nice restaurant area and a terrace where you can enjoy a beer or to have dinner if you want.

    heating was the main issue we had, you can only set the heater to 21 degree and it not enough from my perspective we were lucky because lyon was sunny when we were there, also it was little bit noisy if you are sensitive about noise it might be a problem for you. shower head was little bit small for me but its fine. lastly location is really central but its on a hill so its hard to walk back to hotel after long day of traveling around.

    amazing place with really good energy in the lobby at night its gets little bit noisy until 12 but its not problem if you want to have some fun :D most of the nights they have events with different occasions which was amazing and fun. i would reccomend you to make a reservation for their brunch its great for the value. its really innovative hotel and it was great experience to stay there, comfortable bed and clean simple room.
