Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Pilo. It has a very friendly atmosphere, and the staff are very helpful. All the staff are dedicated to high standards. The hotel is new and is a pleasant place to stay.

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.

Stayed in a 4 bed shared room. Bathroom was very clean, staff was very nice and it was pretty quiet for sleeping.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

Said, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Should be called "The Wallets of People" given the price. Five euros for towels and padlocks also extortionate. I took it because most other places were booked out but would go again.

2/10 Poor

Na verdade o estabelecimento é um Hostel com preço de hotel. Café da manhã com muito pouca variedade, quarto sem estrutura alguma, carpete sujo, com manchas. banheiro com limo, e apesar se minha estadia ser de 4 dias, não houve serviço de limpeza. Se eu quisesse, teria que pagar a parte. É possível ouvir o barulho do quarto de cima. Atendimento nada simpático. Nāo recomendo.

O atendente da noite foi muito gentil, explicou todas as condições do hostel, a cozinha comunitária é extremamente limpa e bem equipada.
Joao Gabriel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

J’y ai passé deux nuits. Le personnel est très gentil et le petit-déjeuner propose l’essentiel, avec notamment une bonne salade de fruits frais. Seul bémol : le bip de l’ascenseur que j’entendais depuis ma chambre, et surtout les pas de la personne située à l’étage au-dessus (boum boum boum) qui ont un peu gâché la tranquillité. À noter aussi : l’hôtel se mérite, car il faut grimper la montée des Carmélites pour y accéder ;)
Frédéric, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Svært god beliggenhet, med nærhet til de beste spisestedene og den beste atmosfæren i byen
Fredrik Lien, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sympathique

Chambre propre avec une vue côté terrasse où il y a le bar. Un peu bruyant. personnel sympathique. Petit déjeuné correct mais pas beaucoup de choix. Pas de télévision dans la chambre. L’accès à l’hôtel n’est pas idéal pour les personnes à mobilité réduite ou âgée si l’on vient en bus car il y a une grande montée pour accéder à l’hôtel depuis l’arrêt mairie.
