I stayed in a room on the 9th floor and got an amazing view of Lyon from my window. The hotel is situated in Vénissieux just outside the city boundaries of Lyon and tramline T4 has a stop just outside the hotel. Metro D also has a stop nearby. The tram allows quick access to Lyon's extended public transport network and travels directly to Part Dieu train station as well. Eklo Hotel itself was lovely. Staff are fluent in French and English and they were nice and helpful. Breakfast was always plentiful and delicious. There is also a Carrefour just across the boulevard in case you need to buy supplies or food.

Honestly can't think of anything. I would stay here again without hesitation if I ever spend time in Lyon again.

A new, trendy, clean, and comfortable hotel option in Lyon. I enjoyed my stay! There's a shared kitchen and common area, and the restaurant on site was quite good. I was initially worried about the location, however, the hotel is well-served by both the Tram which stops right in front of the property and the metro that is a 10-minute walk away. The short commute to the city center was manageable. The price for the breakfast buffet (8€) is fair, and proved useful given that I didn't find many options for breakfast near the hotel. There's also a grocery store right across the street.

The room was small, but as I was traveling alone and I spent most of my time in the city center, I did not mind.

Employees are helpful in every way. The location of the hotel is simply great because transportation is very convenient. Also, the hotel was clean and comfortable. I am sure I will choose Eklo on every next visit!

Great hotel, staff lovely and helpful, good facilities including bar-restaurant and chill areas. Room was comfortable if a little utilitarian but perfect for a good night's sleep and to freshen up during a short stay. Location was a little further out of the city, but conveniently located next to a huge Carrefour supermarket, fast food restaurants and tram that takes your directly into the heart of Lyon. Metro was also nearby but a 10minute walk away. Room service was great if a little too attentive. Was running late and they kept trying to service the room even though I was not ready! Otherwise, clean, with fresh linen and toiletries replaced daily. Found my personal belongings carefully placed on the desk as after they tidied and cleaned the room. Very respectful.

The area itself was a little rough. Not suitable for foreign tourists especially if you're not street wise. I encountered a fight break out with machetes on the street next to the hotel on the way to the metro. Always be vigilant when travelling to and from the hotel. Turns out Venessieux has historically been an area of deprivation and it still shows sadly.

Nice new hotel, which has a hostel type vibe. Double rooms are small but provides the necessary functions of a room. Level 1 is a good hangout space and. I recommend using that as a social, eating space. Many people bought food and drink at the supermarket across the road and prepared and ate it on level 1. Family rooms excellent with the in-built bunk beds and kids loved the foozeball table on level 1.

Breakfast was basic and often ran out of food and drink and not enough staff during this busy time. The location is a ways out, however 10 minute walk to the metro which can get you into Lyon within 15 minutes. Fairly pricey, however it was during a Rugby World Cup period where all accommodation in Lyon was at a premium.

The hotel is close to everything, very good price for a very comfortable stay, Venissieux isn’t the best place of Lyon puis luckily it is in the outskirts and very close to the T4 tram.

Staff upon arrival and departure were impeccable, some staff I met in between could have been a bit more smiley, I couldn’t find the blue button to open the door one morning and the person at the desk looked at me in a way (rolled eyes), but overall I can’t complain, during the night of the Saturday I stayed at 3:14, someone was knocking on a door very loudly and didn’t sleep, as there is no phone in the room I couldn’t call reception, and as I don’t have a French phone number the call would have cost me.

Nice new hotel with funky rooms. The family room was great with the built in bunks for the kids. There is a great communal space on level 1. Recommend going to the supermarket across the road and purchasing food and drink to have on the balcony.

The location is a distance from the city, so keep this in mind when booking. There are trams and a metro line which takes you to the central city area but the metro station is a good 15 minute walk to get too.

room clean. staff friendly, wifi, location there is tram juste next to the hotel , i had a dinner at the restaurant was nice , staff helpful

booked a taxi for early morning at 5:00 am , then didn't come, i was waiting 20 minutes, one member of staff called another one then he coming after 10 minutes , but i did get my train on time,

The staff was super nice ! The room was clean, calm. The breakfast cheap and good !

It's really far from the city, and I traveled on french holiday so no transportation to go to the city center, that was the worst part , to walk until the city center :( but this is not your fault ...... If you can propose a shuttle or taxi service it would rock !

Convenient location on the outskirts of Lyon, serviceable for our stay to watch the rugby. Modern facilities. Big supermarket across the road.

One staff member looking after checking in and the bar, took a long time to get a beer. Rooms are small but OK for one night. Has a hostel feel.
