This was my first experience in a hostel, and it was super good. Very clean, friendly and helpfull staff and very relaxing atmosphere. The location is top in Lyon only 5 minutes walk from main place.

Très bon mais um per trop cher pour n'avoir pas une salle de bain séparée pour des femmes et des hommes!

Jeg bodde på SLO i forbindelse med jobb reise; alt var supert og det var en meget hyggelig miljø! Det var veldig rydig og pent, resepjonen var altid tilgjengelig hvis man trengte noe.
Kommer definitivt bo her vid neste tur til Lyon!

We enjoyed our stay at Slo Hostel for our family of 6 we had a private 6-berth room for 4 nights.
Good bits - nice relaxed courtyard space, reception area all well designed, modern and welcoming. A great retreat from the city.
Rooms were clean and bunk beds were fine, appreciated individual charger sockets and lamps. Broken furniture in the room however, it wasn’t a problem just unsightly.
There was a very small kitchen for basic prep of food - it was fine and we managed, though there simply wasn’t sufficient space to store food in the fridge and 1 hob for cooking really is basic for a whole hostel. A guest fridge really ought to be expected as a basic part of hostels. There wasn’t room in the fridge behind the bar, it was full. The coffee in the morning was very poor and the reason why we didn’t continue to have breakfast.
The room for 6 people really was very, very small and airless. We were in the middle of a heat wave and the rooms were 33 degrees (!) in the middle of the night. We slept very poorly for the whole if our stay. Staff at reception really tried to be helpful and provided us with a fan. We needed to keep windows open but people below in the courtyard smoked directly beneath the window- this was problematic.
The bathrooms though basic were fine, however no toilet seats on any of the toilets was problematic for the kids and again needs to be addressed.
Overall, the relaxed nature of the hostel, meeting other travellers etc was enjoyable and the reason why we chose to stay in a hostel. However, it was more expensive than an apartment stay and probably wasn’t value for money.
We wouldn’t recommend staying here, certainly not in the private dorm upstairs for a family if 6.

The feedback is intended to be helpful to support you in improving your facilities as you clearly have thought hard about the concept of the environment. Your reception staff were excellent and really helped to make our stay as positive as possible.

Thankyou very much

Thank you Gayle for your long and constructive review.
We will pay more attention to all the details you mentioned.
We are well aware that we have to improve the freshness in the rooms as the summers become hotter every year.
We know that our tiny kitchen can be an issue when cooking for a familly, but unfortunatly we lack space.
Best regards,
Caroline

Séjour de très courte durée mais accueil parfait, lieux très propres, l'endroit est chaleureux et très "cosy", beaucoup de nationalités différentes !

Friendly Atmosphere, I used the backyard a lot, where you could also get in touch with other guests. Music is Not really necessary at all times...
