Slo Hostel Lyon Les Pentes

Slo Hostel Lyon Les Pentes is a hostel at 21 Rue Alsace Lorraine in Lyon's 1st arrondissement, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It sits at the foot of the Croix-Rousse slopes, known locally as Les Pentes, close to Place des Terreaux, the Hôtel de Ville and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, with the Opéra de Lyon nearby. The quarter was historically home to the city's silk workers, and its steep stairways and traboules, covered passageways between buildings, are among Lyon's most characteristic sights. Hôtel de Ville - Louis Pradel and Croix-Paquet metro stops are close, and Vieux Lyon and Place Bellecour can be reached on foot in around 15 to 20 minutes. The hostel offers dormitory beds and private double rooms, which suits solo travellers, groups of friends and budget couples. Wifi and a shared kitchen or common area are provided, which encourages meeting other travellers and keeps costs down, since guests can prepare simple meals. Rates generally range from about €25 to €80 per night, depending on whether a dorm bed or a private room is chosen and on the season. Dining nearby includes cheap cafés, bakeries and bouchons in the Terreaux area, while the Croix-Rousse market on Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse offers local produce several mornings a week. Spa and pool facilities are not part of the offer. The service style is informal and social, with staff typically able to advise on traboule routes, street art and free walking tours. The hostel suits younger and budget-conscious visitors who want a central, characterful base on Lyon's hillside.
