We came to Lyon for the festival of lights, stayed in the hostel Slo Lyon Saxe for 1 night, and were very pleased. The hostel is conveniently located, there is a metro nearby, and the city center is no more than 15 minutes on foot. Even before our arrival, we received polite letters offering online check-in, explanations of how to get to the hostel, and offers of assistance. The hostel is clean, quiet, there are comfortable beds, new snow-white linen. We had a small room with a bunk bed, like a cabin on a ferry. Toilet, washbasin and shower nearby. The room included a kettle, cups, different types of tea, a small basket of tangerines and sweets, as well as a postcard wishing you a good stay in Lyon and a map of the city with information about the light show. It was very nice! The hostel has a pleasant homely atmosphere, with a tastefully decorated cozy common room and a charming courtyard. In these spacious rooms you can work with a laptop, read, or drink coffee. The audience is nice, mostly young people, but there are also older guests. The staff is friendly, everyone speaks good English. Breakfast looks attractive, but we didn't have breakfast. We had a great sleep, staying in the hostel Slo Lyon Saxe became one of our good memories of our trip to Lyon.

The walk up the hill was indeed steep, but the views were worth it! The hostels location, just a few minutes walk from old town, had the most amazing views of the city. The beds were some of the comfiest I have slept in at a hostel, and the beds were quite private with a light and multiple plugs. The team was very friendly - I have nothing to complain about!

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.
