Away Hostel & Bar in Review
Hold your horses for a few more minutes and have a quick watch of the official video for this brand new 5 star hostel.
It paints a beautiful picture of the place.
For even more reasons why Away Hostel & Bar is a 5 star hostel in Lyon, France keep scrolling.
1. Locally sourced, Homemade Food
Luckily for you, we’re going to jump straight in and mention the on-site coffee shop.
Because what better way to start the day than with a frothy, barista made latte?!
Alongside hot beverages, this cafe offers a selection of wonderful food throughout the day.
All meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – are made with local ingredients and homemade on the premises.
This includes homemade pastries. Oh, my.
So forget those nasty additives!
Looking to spend all day out and about? Why not grab a sandwich or ask for a lunch box to take with you.
Also! The bathrooms have been stocked up with little extras like soap, shampoo, and hairdryers. So no need to buy and create more waste.
2. Spacious Chic Design
Wait until you see the size of the spaces at Away Hostel & Coffee Shop! Seriously, there is enough room in the dorm rooms to swing three cats at once.
Disclaimer: We absolutely do not encourage the swinging of cats. Ever.
That also goes for shared spaces and private rooms: there is no stuffy feeling in whichever space you decide to hang out in. Beautiful wooden floors, big windows and tall ceilings create an environment that’s good for all sorts of activities.
Whether that’s having a chat, reading a book, sipping a coffee or catching up with work. We love the little details such as living plants, bean bags and a splash of color on the walls.
Wondering about prices? Check Hostelz.com selection of the best hostels in Lyon. They compare hostel prices and ratings, too. Super handy tool for booking hostels.
3. Have a Unique Sleep
It would be rude not to give a special mention of the dorm beds set up at Away Hostel.
Depending on which room you choose, depends on what type of bed you end up in.
Just quickly then, there are mixed dorms with 4, 6, 8 and 10-beds. Not forgetting the female-only option also on offer.
As you can see, the beds have been custom-made, and we haven’t come across the same design anywhere else in the world.
They include all the little extras such as plugs, reading lamp and ready-made bed.
Though you won’t see a privacy curtain in sight. Why not?
Well, since none of the beds face each other, it’s not really necessary!
Besides, some bigger dorm rooms have wooden encasing around the bed, which makes it super cozy.
Extra: enjoy a free padlock loan for a small €5 refundable deposit.
Other equally wonderful room options include:
- Double private (standard & superior)
- Quad room w/ bathroom
- Private 8-bed dorm (great for groups)
Psst! Private rooms come with a Nespresso machine. Go on, treat yourself.
4. Yoga Brunch, Cocktails, and Play Dates
Did that get your attention?
Like we said; this is a fantastic hostel choice for social butterflies that love to get involved without spending energy on organizing.
That’s because fun activities are organized for you, every day of the week! After all, you are on holiday.
By the way, the coffee shop isn’t the only thing to get excited for.
There is also a hostel bar, named Groom, rustling up delicious cocktails and a nightly Happy Hour.
Other exciting things to get involved in include
- Movie nights on Wednesdays
- ‘Shop my Closet’ – 2nd hand clothes sale, DJ & brunch
- Free city walking tours
- Party @ Groom Bar (next door)
I mean, what more is there that could possibly create an ideal atmosphere for meeting new people?
Of course there is also the coffee shop, communal space and games space as a means of getting social.
The choice is yours!
