It's difficult for me to know how to rate this place. I try to rate places based on what they are, so a 5* hostel isn't the same as a 5* hotel. For the price, my only complaint is that I put something in the shelf on the nightstand and when I pulled it out, it was COVERED in dust. I'm not a fan of finding that corners are being cut on cleaning. Also, the bed wasn't the most comfortable. Otherwise, compared to a standard 2* single room, the space was REALLY small, carpet & comforter was stained. Also, the WiFi works in the main building, but my phone showed virtually no signal once I was out in the back building, where my room was. Fortunately, an Orange free wifi spot was accessible. On the upside, the location is an easy 15 min from Bellecour and close to the Perrache metro/train. The staff are very friendly and somebody is staffing the desk 24/7. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay in Lyon, it is an acceptable choice.
