Slo Lyon les Pentes

First time staying here and overall, I'm really pleased! The bedding is super comfortable, and the dorms are spacious with a peaceful atmosphere—everyone was respectful of others' rest. The bathrooms are clean, showers have consistent hot water, and there's a hairdryer available, which is a nice touch. The only minor issue is that the pancake machine in the breakfast area is awkwardly placed, making it a bit tricky to use. But honestly, this doesn't take away from the great value and vibe of the place. It's well-located for exploring Lyon, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a cozy, budget-friendly stay.
