    We chose this hostel as they were the cheapest place we could find who provided secure bike storage. The bike storage was very useful but otherwise we were disappointed. We had a private room but we were repeatedly woken up in the night by doors slamming and, on one occasion, another guest screaming in the corridor. The communal kitchen seemed very small considering the size of the hostel. The common room was nice but seems to get hired out for private events, for example a tattoo artist was working there the day we arrived so the space was used up for this. Our room was dusty and the shower cubicle needed cleaning properly. I wouldn't stay again.

    Excessively commercialised. Completely unsuitable for hot weather. Everything costs extra, towels, a fan, breakfast etc. And the hostel is far from cheap as is. Good location but hostel is boiling hot at night. On a loud road and only way to cool room is to keep window open since there is no air con.

    The majority of the Staff was unable to speak in English. Rude behaviour especially at the morning services they actually don't have specialities everyone in the stuff doing everything.Only a guy at the afternoon was kind and able to speak in English.They don't actually have lockers to leave your luggage and feel safe you have to pay Extra for that and breakfast is not contained in the price i think that's the reason why its so cheap. Good location, good quality beds but I've seen better services.

    Big thanks to Marc for all the recommendations and helping me find places to eat! Made my trip and stay awesome!! Everything was good, although I didn’t spend too much time at the hostel, just for sleeping mostly. Only improvement would be having the room a degree or two warmer, was visiting in the winter, so a little chilly at night.

    Away Hostel is a welcoming hostel in beautiful vibrant Lyon. I loved how big and spacious and well-lit the dorms are, although I never found a way to make the bedside lamps work for either of my rooms. The bathrooms are also huge, open, and gender specific, and the lights are controlled by motion sensor. Super friendly and helpful staff. The kitchen is small and doesn't permit true cooking - hotplate only - but there is a large refrigerator to store your food, and there is an attached cafe and coffee shop that make it easy to meet others. Hostel also has large coin-operated storage, which fits large backpacks and suitcases.

    I stayed for two nights at this hostel, and there’s a lot to say. First of all, bathrooms are nasty, smelly, floors are dirty and you kinda doubt it when you want to take a shower. Also, it’s impossible to sleep, there’s a lot of noice coming from inside and outside the hostel, so you can hear all what is going on around it. Mattresses are good, they’re actually comfortable, the only thing is something like a curtain won’t be a bad a idea, so you can get a little of “privacy”, but that’s okay.

    (Translated by Google) Superb establishment, clean, well maintained, ... Nothing to say! The shared kitchen is well equipped. The staff are welcoming and jovial. I am not lucky enough to eat in the establishment, they offer different types of menu, for example breakfast at 5 euros or all is at will. There is also a washing machine and a dryer, but there is no detergent dispenser. Certainly for a youth hostel the price is a little higher than the average but given the location and the quality of service it remains very correct. Thank you :) (Original) Superbe établissement, propre, bien entretenu,... Rien a dire ! La cuisine commune est bien équipé. Le personnel est accueillant et joviale. Je n'est pas eux la chance de manger dans l'établissement, ils proposent différents type de menu par exemple le petit déjeuner a 5 euro ou tous est a volonté. Il y a aussi un lave linge et un sèche linge mais petit bémol pas de distributeurs de lessive. Certe pour une auberge de jeunesse le prix est un peu plus élevé que la moyen mais vue la localisation et la qualité de service cela reste très correct. Merci :)

    This hostel is simply fantastic! The rooms and bathrooms are clean and spacious. I stayed here with my school group and we were able to keep our six bed room to just the three of us in the room. The showers are great and the bathrooms are kept clean. There is a beautiful lobby with a kitchen, bar/breakfast area and a very handy card system for accessing your room and the inside of the hostel. There is a laundry machine as well that costs five euros. Just be sure to pay at the front desk as that is where they will give you the tokens to use the machines. Overall, for my four day stay, I could not have asked for a better hostel!

    Very nice hostel in the center of Lyon, welcoming staff, good coffee :) The biggest minus to me was lack of privacy curtains in multi rooms, also 2 showers out of 5 and 1 toilet out of 2 were closed for maintenance, which caused queues. Hopefully, they get fixed soon!

    (Translated by Google) nice staff, but the parquet squeaks too much. and some rooms don't smell good at all. I am there almost every week and in the same female or mixed rooms. (Original) personnel gentil, mais le parquet grince beaucoup trop. et certaine chambres ne sentent pas bon du tout. j'y suis a peu près toutes les semaines et dans les meme chambres féminines ou mixtes.

    Easily the best hostel I've ever been to! It was a nice surprise for me honestly! The room was very clean, the staff are all friendly and the location is convenient for pretty much any place you may want to visit when in Lyon.

  • 5/5 Misha K. 6 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    This is a great hostel! Reception was super friendly and happy to help me practice my French, and the common area was nice as well. The dorm rooms are very spacious (as is the whole place), and the bathrooms are clean enough (though more toilets would be appreciated). I was a bit uncomfortable with the summer heat, but reception put me next to the window so that I could always at least get the evening breeze (then there were a ton of mosquitoes though). The location is great, and I loved Lyon overall! Would for sure recommend this hostel. People are friendly, but it isn't the most social hostel I've seen.

  • 5/5 Annie M. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    It was a nice and quiet place to stay in Lyon. There is a Carrefour 2 mins away so you can buy groceries if needed. I liked the bathrooms, felt like you had more privacy.

  • 5/5 Yaas b. 2 years ago on Google
    really nice hostel, i can recommend anyone who wants to have a nice and cheap stay in lyon

  • 5/5 Emma M. 2 years ago on Google
    Welcoming staff, the hostel is well located, close to shops and restaurants in a vibrant area. The room was clean, confortable, with comfy bed. I have also appreciated the breakfast, the English one which is a good value for the price, with quality food. In all for one night it was an enjoyable stay.

  • 3/5 Karen S. 2 years ago on Google
    I spent more than 2 weeks at Away Hostel until I found another accommodation in Lyon. The Hostel is quite well located in the first arrondissement, close to bars, restaurants and night life. There is even a bar downstairs in the same building. Due to its location in a very vibrant neighborhood I would not recommend staying in this hostel if you look for a calm place to stay - it is definitely not calm at all. I have stayed 2 weeks in a Co Living room and really appreciated it as there are just 5 instead of 10 beds in one dorm and you have much more private space there. The price is fine and it also includes breakfast so that at the end it is even cheaper than a normal dorm (but you have to stay at least 2 weeks). I was not very satisfied about the cleaneliness in the bathrooms and the kitchen. The kitchen is not well equipped at all, at the beginning of my stay there was one single hotplate for all the guests of the hostel which made it quite difficult to cook dinner there. Later they added another hotplate but still the kitchen equipment, dishes and cutlery was not very satisfying. I have stayed in a lot of hostels so far and have experienced that people kind of adapt to the cleanliness found at a place. If a kitchen was really clean you would not even dare to leave it dirtyer afterwards. I would definitely recommend those who run Away Hostel to clean this common area more carefully - guests will thank you!

    Very nice hostel! The interior is cosy, which makes you feel at home. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to get an extra bed for our toddler. The daily specials for lunch were tasty and high quality, as was the breakfast. The shared kitchen could have been a bit cleaner but was useful.

  • 5/5 Denis D. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has a simple and efficient check-in and out system. The rooms were nicely designed and cleaned, and the common bathrooms were clean as well and had proper space for each facility. The location is great, very close to two different metro lanes, and is also located in front of a cute park. Definitely recommended if you're spending some time in Lyon.

  • 4/5 eu 2 years ago on Google
    People were nice at the reception and the conditions were good. The rooms are spacious and most beds provide privacy (unless you're near the door). Downside are the showers. No pressure on the one I tried and you have to keep pressing for the water to run. It's a very nice but busy area, and at night it can get pretty noisy with people screaming on the street and partying into the night. Great cafés and restaurants around. Super cosy.

  • 5/5 GG J. 1 year ago on Google
    So good for being so cheap, and the staff are really nice. Loved how the beds are more private than other hostels if you're in a shared dorm. Will definitely come back if I visit Lyon again

  • 1/5 Dpm F. 2 years ago on Google
    It's 28-July and the bathrooms have been last cleaned on the 25th. It's incredibly filthy. Not only the toilets but the showers... i've entered one and the small flies attacked me. I've backpacked for years in Asia-SouthAmerica and Europe... and it's really shocking to find a +20eur in this condition. The kitchen smells funny as for not taking out the trash for days and days. Do something guys... otherwise you will be flooded by rats in a few days.

  • 5/5 M.Guthier 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best hostels that you can get. Very good location in the city, friendly service, clean and very nice rooms, good breakfast. Only the showers could have been a bit cleaner, but overall our stay was great!

  • 3/5 Darya K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was just an okay experience at best..after reading loads of reviews I had high expectations for this place but was honestly let down by a handful of experiences. First, the water in the showers and sink requires you to push the handle to keep the water activated. Totally fine and normal for a sink, but in the shower it was a weird experience that didn’t really allow you fully be able to handle cleaning yourself while also keeping the water running - didn’t love this. Then, one morning my boyfriend and I went down to get breakfast that apparently ended at 10:30 (which nobody informed us of) and even though the food was all still out on the table to grab we asked if we could pay and grab a few things quickly before they cleaned it up but were told that it wasn’t allowed…even though it was all literally still out and nobody was cleaning it up at all. Lastly, the welcoming vibe that you hope most hostels have to encourage making friends was almost nonexistent. There just didn’t feel like a good place to mingle with other travelers. Overall, the accommodations were fine and it’s a great location, but I personally wouldn’t stay here again for these few reasons.

  • 5/5 Olivia B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great hostel! Location is in central Lyon and an easy metro ride to the popular parts of town but, also a short 20 minute walk to many attractions. Lockers in the rooms are sizable and conveniently located. Rooms are bright and large. However, the beds do not have curtains so navigating the room at night can be difficult without waking others. Secure entry and great service. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Μαρία �. 2 years ago on Google
    The location of the hostel is in the heart of Lyon, you can go wherever by foot. The rooms clean, comfortable, and always with the heating on. Bathrooms always clean and with a lot of space. A lot of coffee bars and restaurants nearby. I definitely recommend this hostel to everybody!

  • 4/5 Herbert M. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff with motivated and friendly young people and the hostel in an old Lyon building is clean with renewed rooms. I stayed in an individual room with a bathroom so I can not judge the dormitory. Only bad thing not under the responsibility of the hotel is that the street were full of noisy people during a major part of the night.

  • 4/5 Siena U. 2 years ago on Google
    This hostel was very central to everything in Lyon and very decently priced for the amenities. The wifi was hard to stay connected to so I don't recommend doing remote working/learning while here. The shared spaces and breakfast were great :)

  • 4/5 Emna M. 2 years ago on Google
    The location is superb (close to all the touristy things you need to see/do). Staff is nice and helpful. Bathrooms are clean, but the beds - not so much. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. It's a decent value for the cheap price you pay.

  • 4/5 amanda P. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall this was a great stay. We booked a private room since this was our first time staying in a hostel. The room was clean and nicely set up. The room came with a queen bed, desk space, and a sink. There was also a ac and heating space units provided. The windows had wood shutters that shut out light completely, which was nice. The bathrooms were fairly clean. When we arrived there was someone in there cleaning. But when we went to shower that night, there were nats in the shower stalls. That was the only negative of this stay.

  • 4/5 J o. 2 years ago on Google
    Comfortable stay overall. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Wifi works well and the working areas are good although the acoustics mean it can get a little bit loud. The kitchen space is dingy and small for such a large space but the living areas are well lit and spacious. The bedroom could do with a wardrobe of more storage space - it’s not fun living out of a suitcase.

  • 4/5 Adrian 1 year ago on Google
    Great cafe downstairs. Private room was good, shared rooms so-so. One Star less because: - Shared bathrooms should be cleaned much more regularly. - Asking 3.50 euro rent for very old towels.

  • 3/5 Martin P. 6 months ago on Google
    Not a bad hostel. The rooms were fine, although it did get very hot in September when we were there. The bathrooms unfortunately were pretty dismal. Very friendly and helpful staff.

  • 3/5 Karin W. 6 months ago on Google
    nice cafeteria comfortable to hang out. well decorated and well chosen products for brunch. dorm and bathrooms useful but with no efford for style. minimalistic. spacious (high ceiling, room between beds) loud rooms if window open, no fresh air if closed.

  • 3/5 Courtney A. 8 months ago on Google
    Away was a fairly nice hostel, it was clean and the location was really great. The rooms were so hot so it was quite hard to sleep at night, you can rent a small portable fan for 5 euros but it doesn't do too much to help with the heat. The kitchen was also very small so it was hard to cook, only one cooktop and not much equipment to cook with. Staff were okay, male staff were quite rude when I first arrived early in the morning and asked to store my bags, but later on the staff were a bit friendlier. Overall I'd stay again!

  • 5/5 Jack O. 6 months ago on Google
    This hostel ticks a lot of boxes. Location, friendly staff, facilities, breakfast, even the fact that it has a cafe. This hostel is perfect for friend groups. Probably not suitable for solo travellers who are looking to reach out and socialize. Without hesitation, I would definitely stay here again next time I'm back in Lyon.

  • 5/5 M W. 8 months ago on Google
    People are super nice and welcoming here. I like the big women’s room with plenty natural light and fresh air. It is super hot these days but it is actually healthier we can sweat a little in this season so detoxification can have opportunities to work naturally. I chose this hostel exactly because there is no air conditioning in the room. So for me this is a plus. It was a little noisy at the night but it is not the fault of the hostel. Kitchen is kinda small but public area is big and nice. Overall a nice experience and I will be back.

  • 5/5 Bruno D. 11 months ago on Google
    Very Kind staff and nice place. The only think was that the hostel was full of children, so it might be not very amazing for those who need a bit of silence and chill times. I forgot my documents there and the staff was very helpful to find my docs, it just took a bit of time but was ok :)

  • 4/5 Wayne C. 10 months ago on Google
    Great overall, but there was a school group staying there, making noise throughout the evening and bothering other guests. The hostel needs to be more strict in enforcing noise rules among these school groups, otherwise ban them altogether so that actual real global travelers can better enjoy the hostel.

  • 4/5 Anna M. 10 months ago on Google
    This hostel is really clean, tidy and spacious. The rooms are great, the beds are comfortable and spacious and the cubby holes for storage are big. Nice common area to spend some downtime and the location is great. Would recommend

  • 4/5 Emily K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good hostel! The rooms were big, the bathrooms were clean, and the location was fantastic. Breakfast is separate but it was really good! Recommend for female and solo travelers.

  • 3/5 Matias N. 1 year ago on Google
    Bathrooms could use maintenance (couple of smelly showers, only 1 out of 3 sinks worked, one toilet lock broken.) The rooms are ok, but the beds are uncomfortable in my opinion. The location is good. Also I had a misunderstaning with a staff member and he was very rude.

  • 5/5 Christine Leon R. 1 year ago on Google
    All staff members super friendly and helpful. Bathrooms, showers and sleeping quarters were clean. Will definitely reserve again for future work trips. Oh and best part of trip was waking up to Bing Crosby Christmas Carols and the best pumpkin spice latte (not some ersatz yucky Starbuck's version)I've ever tasted.

  • 5/5 Wade W. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a good hostel. See attached photos. Bed was nice and comfy, breakfast is nice. Some people complained about cleanliness in comments, you can’t expect Ritz Carlton here :) lol. You pay 17€ and that was clean enough for that price. Only thing is loud music until 7am, it was literally “booming”, but didn’t bother me much because I had earplugs. And also people with hangover and their smell. But anyway I had a good stay here.

  • 5/5 Natalie V. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in for a great price! It is nice and modern, with spacious rooms and really nice staff. The common areas are very friendly, especially as the hostel also is a coffee shop.

  • 5/5 Daisy K. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were very nice. The room was good and cheap. The location was very near the center and public transport. I'd love suggest the hotel to provide 4-bed rooms only for females. The first night, I stayed with a man and it was a bit intimidating. I know that you already have female rooms but 8&10 women are a bit crowded. Anyway, I would give 5 stars.

  • 5/5 andrea m. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hostel! In an central location in Lyon with lots of cute bars and cafes nearby. The hostel was really lovely, the downstairs communal space is really nice and I enjoyed spending chill time there reading my book. Dorm was spacious and the beds solid and comfortable. The bar/kitchen makes decent food and coffee so if you didn't feeling like leaving the warm cosy vibes, you could stay in I also met some lovely travellers and overall would highly recommend and return!

  • 5/5 Eric O. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a beautiful and great place to stay, very close to the subway and easy to locate. Personally I love the interactions, the warm reception and the management is ever ready to help and put you through. More importantly I love the bed in the hostel, I really enjoyed and my sleep was really great all through my stay. I will recommend Away Hostel for anyone visiting Lyon.

  • 5/5 Jomin N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 2/5 letre a. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pretty building and rather well located. The staff are cool but it lacks entertainment. On the other hand, the cleanliness remains basic. The rooms on the park side suffer every night from the unbearable noises of drunken night owls who scream and end up waking us out of our sleep around 2 am-3am. To top it off there is a motorbike parking lot just downstairs, I'll let you imagine the book. Double glazing is ok, but when it's over 30 degrees without air conditioning, it's not possible and even with earplugs. And finally there are bugs everywhere and they even invite themselves in our bed, in the bathroom which is not yet on the garden side .... This problem has already been reported by older comments and has not been mentioned. is not processed. (Original) Jolie bâtisse et plutôt bien située. Le personnel est cool mais ça manque d'animations. En revanche, la propreté reste sommaire. Les chambres côté parc souffrent toutes les nuits de bruits insupportables de noctambules bourrés qui hurlent et finissent par nous sortir de notre sommeil aux alentours de 2h-3h du matin. Pour couronner le tout il y a un parking à moto juste en bas, je vous laisse imaginer le bouquant. Le double vitrage ok mais quand il fait plus de 30 degrés sans clim c'est non envisageable et même avec des boules quies. Et pour finir il y a des bestioles partout et qui s'invite même dans notre lit, dans la salle de bain qui pourtant n'est pas coté jardin.... Ce problème a déjà été signalé par des commentaires plus anciens et n'est pas traité.

  • 3/5 Alexandra S. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff were mostly helpful and the bed itself was clean but around the window and around the side of the bed was thick with dust (even more worrying during covid times). I watched each days as staff made some attempt to disinfect the beds but did nothing to disinfect the ladder on the bunk beds or the sides of the beds. Downstairs when I first arrived, wearing a mask indoors was not obligatory and the tables were not being cleaned often enough (jam still left on the tables from breakfast by 3pm check in. Location is good but we seem to be on a very busy corner of town so I was kept up all nigh by cars racing down the side streets and couples yelling at each other. This would be okay but it was too hot to close the windows at night and there is no air conditioning. The hostel does provide ear plugs but I only found out about this on my last night.... The only reason this is a three star and not two star review is because one member of staff dealt very professionally with a woman who was smoking in the room, despite her being extremely impolite with him.

    (Translated by Google) My experience at this hostel, September 1-5, 2020, was very pleasant. Above all, my goal was to discover the city of Lyon, which was unknown to me, and the location on the Pentes de la Croix-Rousse, a stone's throw from the Place des Terreaux, was ideal. It allowed me to explore the city on foot, and to discover all the different districts of Lyon in the five days that I stayed there. In addition to that, the hostel building is characteristic of the canuts district: there is a lot of space, the ceilings are high and the courtyard of the building is very beautiful. The welcome, very present, was kind and attentive. Anyway, I could say a lot of other things, but I was really happy with my week in Lyon. (Original) Mon expérience dans cette auberge, du 1 au 5 septembre 2020, a été très agréable. Avant tout, mon but c’était de découvrir la ville de Lyon qui m’était inconnue, et l’emplacement sur les Pentes de la Croix-Rousse, à deux pas de la place des Terreaux, a été idéal. Il m’a permis de parcourir la ville a pied, et de découvrir tous les différents quartiers de Lyon dans les cinq jours que j’y suis resté. En plus de ça, le bâtiment de l’auberge est caractéristique du quartier des canuts : il y a beaucoup d’espace, les plafonds sont hauts et la cour de l’immeuble est très belle. L’accueil, très présent, a été gentil et à l’écoute. Bref, je pourrais dire plein d’autres choses, mais j’ai vraiment été très satisfait de ma semaine à Lyon.

    I liked their dorms, they felt Cozier than most hostels. The bathroom and toilettes were clean and they provide very reasonably prized electronic lockers to leave luggage after checkout. The only thing I wasn't keen on is the shower system that stops the water every few seconds and doesn’t regulate the temperature well. Other than that, all good.

    (Translated by Google) This hostel is THE solution for my work-study year! Very very advantageous quality / price ratio! Spacious rooms with secure storage, numerous clean showers, the same for the toilets! The tea room in the lobby is a godsend to be able to work in peace with a delicious tea! Breakfast well up to the price. AND safe cycling for free! SHORT, very happy to have stumbled upon it by chance. (Original) Cette auberge est LA solution pour mon année en alternance!

BREF, très heureuse d'être tombée dessus par hasard.

  • 5/5 Jenna K. 3 years ago on Google
    Based on my 6yr daughter's experience, the only complaint about Away hostel was the separated washroom. (She is slowly getting the idea the differences between HOTELS and HOSTELS) Out of 3 different accommodations during a week trip including fancy 4star hotel in France, she rates Away hostel in Lyon the best. Away hostel is clean, frendly, comfortable and quiet(which I didn't expect at all). If I go to Lyon again, I will definitely go to Away again and again. It was a such a beautiful experience.

    (Translated by Google) Correct price friendly manager good cleaning not at the appointment but it does not matter. It is often said that it is by cleaning the toilets that it is an establishment or individual and clean house. The great decor if you are not in wifi its does not pick up. Fridge I don't think it gets cleaned as often as they say it is. Otherwise slept super well for one or 2 nights Hi (Original) Prix correct gérant sympathique bon le nettoyage pas au RDV mais ce n'est pas grave . On dit souvent que c'est en nettoyant les toilettes qu'on c'est si un établissement ou maison individuelle et propre . La déco géniale si vous êtes pas en wifi sa ne capte pas . Frigo je ne pense pas qu'il soit nettoyé aussi souvent qu'ils le disent . Sinon hyper bien dormi pour une ou 2 nuits Salut

    Great location, helpful staff. Close to many restaurants and bars as well as local attractions. Towels for rent (as is increasingly the trend at hostels). The adjacent street can be a bit noisy, but with earplugs (or some alcohol) you will be fine. Cozy dorms, clean facilities. I would stay again if back in Lyon.

    It's very close to the center of Lyon. Good price. But not so clean... toilets are dirty, shower water smells to chlorine. Noisy rooms. Kitchen with dirty cuttlery and way too full fridge. It's ok for one night, but not for several days. There is possibility to take breakfast and dinner. Free wifi.

    Very good price for quality. Kitchen is good and the space to eat is big and full of light. Beds are clean and good quality. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Great location, rooms and storage are big and I met very nice people there. However, the bathroom is filthy; hair and tissues everywhere. The sink surface doesn’t seem to ever get cleaned. Plus the floorboards are very squeaky you wake up every time someone moves in the room.

    Very warm and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my stay here and felt welcome. I would recommend this hostel. One has to pay to safeguard their luggage in a locker, I didn't get toothpaste when I requested it. But other people in the hostel readily shared. Overall it was a good experience. Comfortable beds, clean rooms and bathrooms. The coffee shop is a great place tool hang out. Do consider this hostel when in Lyon next. The location is not too bad. We have to walk 5 mins to the nearest metro to get wherever.

    In few words • One of the best hostels I ever stayed. Clean, good lightning, nice decoration, friendly staff, affordable and spacious. I have been one night and I couldn't enjoy any food or coffee but it seems a nice place to crash and work on your stuff. Because of that very short night I cannot talk about the level of cleanliness of the man's bathroom (1st floor). It was quite dirty. I guess cleaning staff couldn't make it (I stayed from 22pm till 6am) on time. Not a big complaint but still, it was a little disgusting. On the other side, the separated showers with plenty of space to change and to shower is really nice. Aswell as the spacious rooms (shared with 8 people but feeling like I was alone thanks to the arrangement and the size of the room). I would like to try it again in the future, for a ñittle longer :)

    Very spacious, nicely decorated room. Shared kitchen and bar area are welcoming and the atmosphere is cozy. However, there was a lot of noise during the night because of automatically closings doors. My private room was right next to a shared bedroom, which made me wake up several times during the night, not ideal when travelling for business and paying for a superior private room. The soap/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom was horrible for both my skin and hair. Also the breakfast was limited to bread, butter, jam and coffee. Mixed experience: modern and inviting hostel, major points of comfort missing

    Friendly Staff, great location, very clean rooms and fantastic neighborhood. Lyon was probably one of my favorite parts of my trip to France. My stay at Away Hostel had left a great impression for me during this trip. The staff was very friendly (one of the staff members spoke Korean, which I thought was funny and kind) and the hostels were kept very clean. I've stayed in maybe four hostels in France and this was by far the tidiest. The rooms were wide and squeaky clean, which I appreciated. Being that the city was Lyon and not Paris, it was hard to find any shady characters and the neighborhood also felt very safe. All in all, this was a great hostel.

  • 2/5 Fiona B. 2 years ago on Google
    Away Hostel is in a great location and the staff was friendly. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the establishment - there was lots of dust and dirt around the sides of the beds and the sinks and showers were often visibly dirty and wet. Additionally, I was moved to this hostel after there was a problem with another hostel I was staying at that was run by the same company. They couldn't accommodate me in the same bed two nights in a row so I had to move beds, which meant I had to "check out" at 11:00 am and couldn't check back in until 3:00 pm, which really impacted my ability to do anything that day. As a result of the issues with this hotel group, I was unable to do much of anything for two whole days while I was in Lyon and was caused significant inconvenience and expense, yet they only refunded me for one night.

    (Translated by Google) We took a private room for 4 people. For the price: it was very good. The establishment is ideally located. When booking, I was afraid that the room would be very small, but in fact not at all. It is huge. The bathroom is away from the beds: that's great. Negative point: the wooden structure for the beds makes noise when you move. Attention: you must take earplugs because the room we had is located above a nightclub. (Original) Nous avons pris une chambre privée pour 4 personnes. Pour le prix : c'était très bien . L'établissement est idéalement situé. En réservant, j'avais peur que la chambre soit toute petite mais en fait , pas du tout. Elle est immense . La salle de bain est à l'écart par rapport aux lits : ça c'est top. Point négatif : la structure en bois pour les lits fait du bruit quand on bouge. Attention : il faut prendre des bouchons d'oreilles car la chambre que nous avions est située au dessus dune boite de nuit.

    We loved the place, the rooms are nice and cozy (thanks for having kept the original moldings from that old building). Negative points : no soap in the soap dispenser and the shower door was broken (like: on the side). Special mention for the breakfast : delicious, and served with a smile.

    (Translated by Google) Brilliant stay, thank you to everyone for the welcome. Rooms clean and cleaned daily (like showers and toilets), kitchen accessible at any time of the day or night. It is possible to stay "downstairs" in "relaxation" rooms. The dormitories are good, level standards and hygiene. By staying a week we have where to meet beautiful people and laugh a lot. It was too good, thank you and kisses to the reception staff (Personal note: sorry to have scared the English 😂) So you know who it is;) (Original) Séjour génial, merci à tout le monde de l'accueil. Chambres propres et nettoyées quotidiennement (comme les douches et les toilettes), cuisine accessible à toute heure du jour ou de la nuit. Il est possible de rester " en bas " dans des salles de " détente ". Les dortoirs sont biens, niveau normes et hygiène. En restant une semaine on à où faire de très belles rencontres et beaucouuuup rigoler. C'était trop bien, merci et bisous aux gens de l'accueil (Note perso : désolé d'avoir fait peur aux anglaises 😂) Comme ça vous savez qui c'est ;)

    (Translated by Google) 👍🏻 Very good experience. Coming with friends for 2 nights in a dormitory of 10. Very good value for money (€ 17.50 a night !!). The sanitary / showers are top, there is nothing to say. Unfortunately we ended up in a room where one individual allowed himself too many things that could annoy others in the room, the staff was reactive and did everything possible so that it did not happen again for the people behind us. They were very understanding and attentive to our comments. 👎🏻 The only criticism I could make is the bedroom doors, I think we should see for a mechanism that holds the door because it makes a lot of noise when it slams because it is heavy. (Original) 👍🏻 Très bonne expérience. Venue entre amies pour 2 nuits dans un dortoir de 10. Très bon rapport qualité prix (17€50 la nuit !!). Les sanitaires/douches sont top, il n'y a rien à dire. Nous sommes malheureusement tombées dans une chambre où un individu se permettait trop de choses qui pouvait géner les autres de la chambre, le personnel a été réactif et à fait le nécessaire pour que ça ne se reproduise pas pour les personnes derrière nous. Ils ont été très compréhensif et à l'écoute de nos remarques. 👎🏻 Le seul reproche que je pourrais faire c'est les portes des chambres, je pense qu'il faudrait voir pour un mécanisme qui retient la porte car ça fait beaucoup de bruit quand elle claque vu qu'elle est lourde.

    I loved this hostel! The location is great, really central and in the middle of some great restaurants and bars, also perfect for daily touristic things. The rooms are big, good constructed just a bit dusty, the bathrooms were really clean. The best part about my stay was the breakfast! They have a pancake station, were you can make yourself pancakes and top them with chocolate, jam and/or fruits. Besides that, they have bread, cheese and ham, butter, jam, eggs, vegetables, yoghurts and granola and of course coffee & tea. I will absolutely come pack for my next stay in Lyon!
