Hotel Details

Location

Located in the lively Croix-Rousse district of Lyon's 1st arrondissement, a 15-minute walk from Vieux Lyon and Place des Terreaux.
The hostel sits at the top of a steep hill on the slopes of Croix-Rousse, offering panoramic views but requiring an uphill hike with luggage. The nearest bus stop is Mairie du 1er (bus C13), about 5 minutes downhill. Lyon Part-Dieu station is reachable by bus C13 in about 20 minutes. The Museum of Fine Arts is less than 1 km away, and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière and Fourvière Roman Theatre are within walking distance. The area is full of local bars, bouchons, and a lively farmers' market. For those with mobility concerns, the location is challenging due to steep streets and many stairs.

Dining

On-site restaurant and bar open daily from 7:00 to 22:30, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails.
Breakfast options include an express 5 EUR (hot drink + 3 pastries), a Breakfast Club at 15 EUR (pastry, egg muffin, juice, hot drink), and a continental buffet at 9 EUR (bread, pastries, yogurt, fruit). The buffet has limited variety and no hot proteins. The restaurant serves burgers (including veggie), salads, sharing plates, and desserts (6-7 EUR) at lunch and dinner. Vegetarian options are available. The bar offers cocktails (9-11 EUR), natural wines, craft beers, and specialty coffee from a local roaster (2-5.50 EUR). Guests receive a 10% discount on food and drinks. The shared guest kitchen (6:00-midnight) is available for self-catering but has limited seating.

Amenities

24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi, coworking space, meeting rooms, laundry, luggage storage, and lift access.
Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout, though some devices may experience slow speeds. The coworking space and mezzanine can be privatized for events or meetings (from 250 EUR per half day). Laundry costs 3.50 EUR wash / 2 EUR dry. Luggage storage costs 1 EUR/hour. The property has a lift from ground to 6th floor. Accessibility rooms with grab rails, wider doors, and visual aids are available. Baby cots can be added to private rooms. A shared lounge/TV area and board games are provided. The hotel does not have its own parking - use nearby public parking. The reception is staffed 24/7 and can assist with late check-in (ring the bell after midnight).

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Prepare for a steep uphill walk from the city centre with luggage; consider taking bus C13 to Mairie du 1er stop or an Uber.

  • 02

    Book a private room if you need reliable sleep; dormitory beds have thin mattresses and noise can carry from hallways and events.

  • 03

    Use the paid luggage storage (1 EUR/hour) for early arrivals or late departures; dorm lockers are free but bring your own lock or buy one at reception for 5 EUR.

  • 04

    Plan breakfast elsewhere if you want hot protein options; the continental buffet at 9 EUR is limited and can run out of items.
