Lovely hotel, with friendly and helpful staff and a great vibe. Facilities are good and the restaurant has a good menu and a great terrace. Enjoyed our stay, recommended!

Cleanliness could be improved: the sheets were clean but the room itself was dirty/dusty. The same about common area/kitchen. The only clean space was the highkey restaurant. If you have heavy baggage better dont opt for this hostel as it would be difficult to carry it uphill. Pros: good location, comfyatress, the girl at reception was friendly, you can leave your luggage for free. Overall for a hostel: great price performamvr ratio.

Great hotel on a hill

Hotel was clean and welcoming! Lots to do/eat on the ground floor. Room was a bit dark, but very comfortable. Hotel was close to everything, but located on a steep hill, so be prepared.

Family's holiday

The Hostel is very comfortable Nice and modern with a lovely bar on the ground floor. The only negative point is the position,up on the hill,so it's not very easy to reach if you are coming with luggages or buggies and young kids. Overall is a good price for the expensive Lyon.

The room and bathroom were clean. Very quirky, would have been more comfortable with more storage, comfortable flooring and the very high ceiling was strange. Wouldn’t have liked to use the bunks.

Comfy but noisy

Lovely hostel/hotel with warm and welcoming staff. The room was clean and tidy and the beds a were comfy. Only minus with our stay was the fact that we stayed on the second floor just above the bar where very loud music was played every night until midnight. Which made our room very noisy until the music was turned off.

Great value for money

I had a great 6 day stay at Pilo. The pods are a great way to have a bit of privacy and feel like you're more in your own space, though don't be fooled – it's still fundamentally a hostel, but loads better if you find having to interact with people a bit awkward. The attached coffee shop/bar/restaurant is great. I was quite unwell one night which was a nightmare in a shared room, probably equally if not moreso for the other people in the room but the Pilo staff were so helpful. I think my only real niggle is that whilst the bedding is perfectly serviceable and the beds comfy enough (and, fundamentally, you'd be a fool to expect luxury high thread count linen at these prices) it would be much nicer with relatively little outlay with some better pillows (also, it's in the name!)
Kieran, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The good: The staff was super friendly and helpful, the dormitory rooms are decently comfortable and provide all you need (light, usb charging, storage cabinet), the lunch/dinner options are decent (enjoyed the Salade Lyonnaise), and the location is not bad at all, specially considering you can just walk a couple minutes down to the "mairie du 1er" to take the C13 bus that's direct to the Part Dieu train station from where you can easily go to the airport with the shuttle tramway. The average: Don't pay for the breakfast and use the shared kitchen instead. The choice is very limited and (to my taste at least) not particularly good. I ended up just drinking apple juice, some mandarines and a slice of bread because the "quiche" was compact as a brick, the croissants were so soggy you could make knots with them. The bad: In the first night one of the guests (with apparently Tourette syndrom) spent many hours talking out loud making it completely impossible to sleep, that was solved by asking to move to another dormitory for the next night.

Ok hotel- lots of details to improve

The location of the hotel is very nice, sadly there are not many transport closeby and is very step (lots of stairs) to get to the hotel, to considered for elderly people or in disable situation. The hotel in general has a nice concept, the personal is very kind and is easy to get to the rooms. On improving points the cleaningness, I stayed for three nights but never cleaned the room, the breakfast is needing urgently more options and space, in rush hour is too crowded, not a lot of options, for the price seems a little expensive. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom was not so nice, the door was very difficult to access and the shower is very uncomfortable to bath in.
