Slo Lyon les Pentes

Definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed at! Love the decor and vibe. Lots of communal space to relax if you feel like staying in. Great location in Lyon, for trendy shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Close to several metro. The staff were lovely and helpful and I think this friendly vibe encourages the guest to do the same. My 10-bed shared room was clean and spacious, as were the bathrooms. Not a lot to complain about really! The only negative for me was the airflow in the bedroom. You basically have to choose between windows open with airflow but LOTS of noise, or windows closed with disgustingly hot but quiet room. I had ear plugs so noise wasn't an issue for me but others in the room without them literally demanded to have the windows shut! Disappointing that some people aren't up with the play and don't bring ear plugs to a hostel!! Maybe a fan in the room or complimentary ear plugs could help solve the issue. Otherwise, many thanks!

Very nice hostel, I would stay again! The kitchen only had one burner but there was plenty of space for storage and easy to cool in. I loved the cafe area to hang out and read. It didn’t seem super social but still a nice hostel to stay in, clean and calm.

Very professional, clean, tidy, organised, efficient, showers and toilets immaculate and stay that way if everyone looks after them too. Storage lockers with keycode, very safe and secure. Friendly, professional staff. An excellent stay. I also booked Slo again as they have another one in Lyon. Both are EXCELLENT!

It is close to the public transport. The room is roomy, however, the airflow is not that great. As it is opposite to a bar, it can be quite noisy at night. And it would be great if there is curtain, so that the light was not needed to be switched off in early night.

Great location and modern common areas, easy to work or hang out with coffee. Bathrooms are good for a hostel. Only downside: it gets really hot without AC, and opening the windows means it can get noisy at night. Overall, a solid choice if you don’t mind the peak summer heat.

Pour une première expérience dans une auberge de jeunesse celle-ci s’est révélée positive. Le lit était bien, les employés courtois et serviables et les parties communes correctes. Son emplacement proche du métro est appréciable. À refaire ou à recommander.
