Clean, friendly and helpful staff.

We love the place!!

Super clean rooms, super friendly staff, highly recommended

The room we had was very clean and very comfortable with large lockers. The location is great because it’s only about a 10 minute walk to the center of the city, to the Hotel de Ville (City Hall). There’s a very nice courtyard just off of the reception and bar area which is a great place to meet. The staff was really nice and very helpful so we thank them very much. The buildings in the area have a lot of graffiti, so at first it seemed a little sketchy. But it felt fine once we got acquainted with the area around the hostel. One thing to note: if you have a car, parking is very difficult and very expensive (55 Euros/day street parking, and 43 Euros/day for garage parking). I asked ChatGPT to tell me where there is free parking, and it said the ninth district has free parking on the street, so you’ll have to walk about 10 to 15 minutes. But you will save money.

Well situated in the city center, quiet, equipment ok,

I appreciate it’s a hosel environment that offers hotel rooms however the vibe of the guests was a little strange, one guest tried to urinate in the lift late in the evening, and the noise in the hallways was super loud. Room was ok but basic, next time I’ll just book an Ibis

The staff, private room, dining area, and ambience is superlative. Quintessential are the people: helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. A wonderful place to stay.

Room was not cleaned once and towels were not changed during a 4 night stay. No tv in the premium room despite the description says so on their website. The room was very dark, there’s not enough lamps. No soundproofing, you can hear every step outside in the hallway or neighbors taking a shower.

The good: The staff was super friendly and helpful, the dormitory rooms are decently comfortable and provide all you need (light, usb charging, storage cabinet), the lunch/dinner options are decent (enjoyed the Salade Lyonnaise), and the location is not bad at all, specially considering you can just walk a couple minutes down to the "mairie du 1er" to take the C13 bus that's direct to the Part Dieu train station from where you can easily go to the airport with the shuttle tramway. The average: Don't pay for the breakfast and use the shared kitchen instead. The choice is very limited and (to my taste at least) not particularly good. I ended up just drinking apple juice, some mandarines and a slice of bread because the "quiche" was compact as a brick, the croissants were so soggy you could make knots with them. The bad: In the first night one of the guests (with apparently Tourette syndrom) spent many hours talking out loud making it completely impossible to sleep, that was solved by asking to move to another dormitory for the next night.

Should be called "The Wallets of People" given the price. Five euros for towels and padlocks also extortionate. I took it because most other places were booked out but would go again.
