Yasi Hostel

Yasi Hostel is a hostel on Rue Baraban in the Part-Dieu district of Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, in France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The street is close to Lyon Part-Dieu railway station and the Part-Dieu shopping centre, and near the Place Guichard and Saxe-Gambetta area, so the hostel works well as a budget base for rail travellers heading to Paris, Marseille or the Alps. Metro, tram and bus lines serve the district, and the Presqu'île and Vieux Lyon are around 10 to 15 minutes away by public transport. The neighbourhood is modern and practical, with business towers beside older residential blocks, and offers inexpensive restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets. The hostel provides dormitory beds and private double rooms, together with wifi, a shared kitchen or common area, and a mix of private rooms and dorms. These shared facilities make it easy to prepare cheap meals, meet other travellers and plan the day. Rates generally range from about €25 to €80 per night, depending on room type and season. Dining options nearby include casual Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants, while the Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse market and the traditional bouchons of the Presqu'île are a short ride away. Spa and pool facilities are not part of the offer. The service style is informal and friendly, aimed at backpackers, students and budget visitors, and staff can usually suggest day trips to Annecy, Beaune or the Beaujolais vineyards. As with most hostels, shared dormitories can be noisy, so light sleepers may prefer a private double room, and a padlock for lockers is a sensible item to bring.
