Staff were excellent and courteous. The privacy curtains were very good. Breakfast in the morning was excellent with a spread of baguette, brioche and drinks including coffee, tea and juices. Toilet was very clean. Has a coworking space and fully equipped kitchen with fridge, oven too, though I did not use those.

Very good hostel, close to the city center. For those arriving in Lyon with luggage, I recommend getting off at the Croix-Paquet or Croix-Rouse metro stations to avoid the hill climb. For those coming from the airport and not having a problem traveling more than 30 minutes, do not use the direct tram to Lyon. Its price is too high - 17 euros. In any case, it stops at the central train station, which is 3 km from the hotel, and from there you will need a new public transport ticket. It is much more profitable to take bus 200 from the airport, which will take you to the Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie metro station. The price for the bus and the tram is 2.30 euros in total, as long as it fits your trip within an hour. There is another option with bus 47, then change to tram 3 and if you want to get to Hotel Pilo, you can choose between another transfer this time to the metro or a 40 minute walk through which you will see most of the sights of Lyon. Overall, Hotel Pilo is extremely clean. The beds are comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly. The hotel also offers free luggage storage, including lockers that are locked and are also free.

Lovely bright, airy space with a chilled vibe. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful with recommendations. The 4 person room was very spacious with private bathroom - shower was great. The hostel is in a great location in this beautiful, relaxed city. Highly recommend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Vibrant, cool accommodation in a great location in the proximity of train station. From the outside you would not tell how the hostel looks inside - entering the facilities opens up a modern and hip decor. I really liked the bar/out-door sitting area and the lounge-corridor. A big bonus was having bunk beds in a style of capsule hotel where - nevertheless having to share the room - it was possible to have privacy still.

    Great location and wonderful view from the terrace. The rooms are spacious and beds are nice quality, for being the cheapest hostel in Lyon.
