Le Flâneur Guesthouse

Super good value for money. Rooms are basic but thats what you expect and they are clean and beds are comfortable. Really good kitchen facilities and lovely communal areas so its super easy to meet other people staying there. Staff was super friendly and really helpful one of my friends got stuff stolen here (obviously not in any way the hostel's fault) and the staff did everything they could to help. |The area was also really nice, we came here with no expectations because it cut a long train journey in half and the area ended up being one of my favourite places we went while interailing.

Can't expect much with the price, so it was alright. Wouldn't consider this a youth hostel as it seems like there are people living here long term and a lot of the people aren't travelers. The breakfast was great and there's a huge kitchen for you to cook where necessary. The bathrooms were okay, not the cleanest definitely but acceptable (unfortunately they were not ensuite and the entire hostel is sharing 4 bathrooms I believe?? (2 for each gender). I stayed in a six person all female dorm and the rooms were big so it didn't feel crowded. It was alright for a 3 night stay.

Great hostel if you’re into low-key social vibes and authenticity. It’s in a great location within a vibrant neighborhood, close to the river, and small cafes, supermarkets, and laundry places. There’s always a staff member available to help, and I believe they’re also involved in some social projects in the neighborhood. I’d definitely come back if I’m ever in Lyon.

The front desk forgot to refund our pricey key deposit and can't return the money I think we gave in debit except in person in cash... The staff are quite friendly and helpful especially one tall, dark-haired girl I owe saving this stay to. The 4 bed room was okay but every faucet including the shower has a button you press for a very short period of water. It's unthinkable in a shower. The beds should have curtains on the outside of the bunk itself which is regular at many other hostels but not here. The location is situated in the part of the city with the most trash lying about and uncharming characters lurking around + communist/antifa propaganda everywhere which is sort of sad to wake up to. It's not a great value for the 4 room bunk. A hotel in Lyon for two people is the same price if you split it.

I stayed in this hostel only for one night, but I think I can recommend it if you need a place for 1-2 days. The stuff is very nice and speaks english. The room was only for women, but with 16 beds which I find a little bit too much. Breakfast included and kitchen is open to your use at any time. The rooms and bathrooms are comparatively clean. There is lobby and terrace where you can spend your time. Location is nice, but I felt a little bit unsafe walking there at the late evening.

I really liked that the hostel had a big kitchen, courtyard and computers for guests to use. The library and office space was also nice. The wifi unfortunately did not work for my personal devices and the reception in the hostel was also not very good. Otherwise a nice stay!

I stayed there for two nights and I really loved the community spaces. The Service was great and the people were very kind. The vibe of the hostel was also very cozy. I liked that there were generall rules that made the stay for everyone better. The Hostel was very clean what I really appreciate. I would've loved to have more space to put my stuff on then just the little box on the wall and I didn't see a Socket on my bed but I know that there were ones on the other beds so I'm not sure if I just didn't see mine. The location was pretty good. It was very easy to get everywhere with the tram or Metro. At Daylight I did feel safe in the neighborhood but at night I wouldn't have so I came back earlier. All in all I must say I really enjoyed my stay and I can definitely recommend anyone to go there!

Location felt unsafe with sketchy surroundings. Wifi required logging in every hour for me - very inconvenient, but maybe it was disturbed for my stay. Sometimes it worked for a few hours. It‘s nice that breakfast is included, but it is very minimal so maybe get additional food somewhere else. Kitchen and WC weren’t very clean, but ok. Beds were noisy and there was no AC in my room, which made it uncomfortable. Service was friendly though, so that was nice. On the plus side, there’s a nice outdoor sitting area and a cool reading corner. You can enter / leave 24/7 and it was easy for me to connect to people Wouldn’t stay again, but it has some redeeming features.
