    Beds were comfy and private, perfect for a good night's sleep. The showers were plentiful and had good water pressure. The item exchange was a nice touch, allowing me to leave something behind and pick up something useful for my onward journey. Plus, the small cheap breakfast and the bar were convenient for a quick and easy start to the day.

    The lack of atmosphere inside the hostel made it feel quite quiet and not very social. Also, the absence of outdoor space like a roof terrace was a downside.

    During our stay at Alter'Hostel, we were pleasantly surprised by the hot showers and the fact that the hostel had a roof. The staff, especially Sam and his team, were fantastic - they were professional, genuine, and really cared about the business. They were always ready to offer advice on how to get to key places and even organized activities and movie nights. We also loved the mini pub in the hostel which offered a great selection of food and wine options. The hostel's location was central and convenient, with bike rentals and a bus stop just a minute away.

    Although there were some minor drawbacks, such as the need to walk past the common lounge to access the showers and a few instances of bedbugs, these did not significantly impact our overall experience. The kitchen was a bit small, with only one cooker and the fridges being full, but it was still manageable.

    The staff at Alter'Hostel were incredibly friendly and always made an effort to remember everyone's name. They created a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, which made my stay enjoyable. I also appreciated the curtains on my bed, which gave me a sense of privacy even in a dorm room. The hostel's location near various modes of transport was convenient for exploring the city, and the regular events provided a great opportunity to meet new people. I would highly recommend Alter'Hostel for its friendly staff, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location.

    For the price I paid, my stay at Alter'Hostel was an excellent value. The room was cozy and the bed was comfortable, especially with the curtains for privacy. The location was perfect, with plenty of restaurants nearby and a beautiful river just a short walk away. The staff members were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay, even when I arrived late at night.

    The breakfast could have been better if there were more options available.

    I had a fantastic time at this hostel! the staff were incredibly friendly and spoke multiple languages, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. the location was perfect, close to the river and just a short walk from the city center. the hostel had a great atmosphere with events like films and music, which added to the fun. Plus, they served delicious carrot soup that was both comforting and affordable.

    That some beds did not have sockets or lights, but it was a minor inconvenience.

    During my stay at Alter'Hostel, I was impressed by the sustainable concept they have implemented. The hostel had a dry toilet and an exchange area for books and clothes, which I found to be a unique and environmentally friendly touch. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, and the breakfast provided was delicious. I also appreciated the presence of a kitchen area, as it allowed me to prepare my own meals. The location of the hostel, although not in the city center, offered beautiful views of the Saône river and easy access to nice walks along the river banks. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I had a positive experience at Alter'Hostel and would recommend it to others.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in Lyon for a few days and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff at Alter'Hostel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They paid attention to small details like providing curtains and lights for each bed, as well as a separate area in the shower for changing. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the metro station. The hostel itself was clean and well-maintained, with a fully furnished kitchen and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

    I would be happy to recommend this hostel.

They even remembered everyone's names, which made me feel welcomed and valued. the hostel had a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, with lots of places to relax in the evening and regular events for residents to enjoy.

    There were several aspects of my stay that I did not enjoy. the information provided on the website was misleading.

    The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to assist me with all my needs. Additionally, I appreciated their commitment to sustainability, such as refilling water bottles and separating rubbish for composting. The hostel also had a great location, offering beautiful views of the river and easy access to bars and walking paths.

    There were a few issues that I encountered. the lack of a lock on the female room door was concerning for security.
