Hotel Details

Location

Located in the Old Lyon district (Vieux Lyon), 29 km from Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, the hostel is less than 1 km from the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière and a 5-minute walk from the Musée Miniature et Cinéma.

The hostel sits on a steep hill, offering panoramic views over the city. Access on foot involves a challenging uphill walk, especially with heavy luggage. The recommended approach is to take the funicular from Vieux Lyon to Minimes - Théâtre Romain, followed by a 3-minute downhill walk. The vibrant Vieux Lyon district with its bars, restaurants, and shops is within a 5-10 minute walk downhill. The metro station is approximately 10 minutes on foot, providing direct connections to the city centre and other attractions. For airport transfers, take the Lyon Express bus to Vaulx-en-Velin, then Metro A to Bellecour and Metro D to Vieux Lyon, or the Rhônexpress tram to Gare Part-Dieu followed by metro lines B and D to Vieux Lyon.

Dining

A continental breakfast (croissant, bread, jam, hot drink) is available for 4 EUR. An on-site bar, coffee shop, snack bar, and vending machine serve drinks and snacks.

Breakfast is served from 07:00 and offers a simple French-style continental menu; it is considered good value for the price. The hostel also hosts affordable evening meals on some nights, served on the terrace. Guests can prepare their own meals in the shared kitchen, which has a stove, utensils, microwave, and a few pots; basic cooking supplies are provided. Several restaurants and cafés are within a 5-minute walk in Vieux Lyon, including a range of cuisines (Italian, Lyonnaise gastronomic, and others), all approximately 0.5 km away. The breakfast and meal prices are noted as very reasonable.

Wellness and Leisure

The hostel offers a sun terrace with panoramic views, a garden, a picnic area, a shared lounge, a foosball table, and free walking tours.

The terrace is the standout leisure feature - it overlooks the entire city of Lyon, including the Alps on clear days, and is furnished with tables and chairs for relaxing, eating, or socialising. Free walking tours are offered, and cycling is available off-site for an additional fee. Temporary art galleries (off-site, extra charge) and board games/puzzles are also available. An ice-skating rink is located nearby.
