Alter'hostel, hotel in Lyon

Providing free WiFi and a shared lounge, Alter'hostel offers accommodation in Lyon, opposite the Pentes de la Croix Russes, a 15-minute walk from Vieux Lyon and a 25-minute walk from the Town Hall.

Staff is nice, but not overly motivated. The common area is actually very nicely made and you can see a lot of love and effort was originally put into it. Some things really make sense, like a place to dry towels outside the rooms and a shoe rack. In the dorms there's curtains for privacy and a plug by the bed.

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.

    Acommodation was just fantastic. As a group of 3 friends on a budget trip, we needed cheap and clean place to sleep. We were surprised how modern and comfortable it was there. Personnel spoke English fluently and was extremely kind. Our room had its own bathroom. Location is basically in the city center and just next to the TGV station. We paid just 20 Euros per night per person and I haven't expected such a great hotel for that price. I would not be afraid of recommending this hotel for the family trip too.

    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.

    Great location and wonderful view from the terrace. The rooms are spacious and beds are nice quality, for being the cheapest hostel in Lyon.
