Definitely not the best attempt of regeneration of a so-called "bad" area of Lyon. Nearby bars like the othersidebridge are the typical example of French strenght... This hostel will only reinforce all the bad stereotypes foreigners have about them: rude, condescending, arrogant (lacking of knowlegde and experience). The hostel is located above a well run bar/cafe, but the most shocking thing was the contrast between the local attending the bar and potential question about the room allocation system. When asking a female QC staff member why there is a high proportion of P.O.C in a single room while the other locations not, and downstairs is big contrast, no direct answer and always turning around the bush, management was also disdainful. Answer was: just a coincidence. A coincidence? so why can you hear that staff from far away making jokes about other third world countries. Consumers, there are rights in France: and this was quite obvious when the male receptionist realized i was acquainted with the city and local national... he went straight to professional behaviour.
