Boucherie Trolliet Hotel Dieu sur Lyon

It's a good place, I go there regularly, especially in the morning. However, it happens far too often that there's no hand soap in the men's changing rooms; that's unacceptable in a place like this.

The climb-up ratings are already a bit borderline, but here they're even worse; the route openings are decent.

The staff is great, the food is very good, and we love the place for chilling on the sofas before or after a session, whether with friends or alone. However, I'm seriously considering not renewing my climbing passes. I've been climbing casually for three years, about two or three times a month, and I know it's not regular enough to progress and reach a good level. However, I enjoyed doing my easy yellow and green routes, and sometimes trying more accessible blues. Always with no other ambition than to get some exercise and have fun alongside my other activities. But for the past year, I don't know what's happening with the difficulty level on the easier routes, but I feel like the difficulty has really gone up a notch! And when I look at Social Boulder, the difference is insane. It's clear that many routes I thought were improbable for yellow have had new holds added in the following days. Nevertheless, I'm struggling on far too many routes (something that doesn't happen to me in other gyms; I'm plateauing, but I'm not regressing!). If the difficulty were at least challenging, with hard but not intimidating moves... well, no. When is a beginner going to stand up on one leg from a 40-degree wall with no handholds? It doesn't happen! Only people who are already good climbers will find it easy. Please, think about progression, teaching methods, and safety. As it stands, if it's going to cost 17 bucks, you might as well go to gyms that handle beginner levels better.

Nice boulders to climb, even if it's a bit crowded in this relatively small gym. I'm taking off one star because the gym is sweltering in the summer and it's very difficult to climb there, even with the fans.

Great welcome, simple and top-notch operation, fantastic fans even in the heatwave, reasonably priced food and a really good atmosphere between the staff and the climbers!

We did a quick session in Lyon: +: Spacious, well-ventilated, and bright gym. Some of the routes are great. -: The route selection really lacks variety (not many boulder problems without coordination or run and jump), the volumes are greasy/slippery, and above all, there are too many gaps between the colors (the purples are only good for warming up, and the reds are just too hard). It's a shame because otherwise, everything is just perfect.

We had a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting! Superb welcome!! We'll definitely be back. I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area...a unique place...and the food was delicious. Thank you.

Lovely staff and a great local climbing gym. I've been coming several times a week for over a year now, and the welcome is always excellent. The bistro area is good and plentiful, and everything is homemade by the chef. The prices are very reasonable; the daily special is €14 and is more than enough. The bar is also great, with a wide selection of local drinks and snacks prepared by the kitchen. The entrance fee isn't excessive, especially with the climbing passes, which offer a student discount that can be combined with happy hour. However, be aware that the skill level required for the first few boulder problems is much higher than in many other climbing gyms. It's not all perfect, though. The evening sessions are very popular, and it can get so crowded that climbing becomes difficult. And it can get very hot upstairs in the summer because the roof isn't insulated, and although there are plenty of fans and an air circulation system, it's not enough.

I climbed (great) and lost my water bottle (defeat)

A lovely way to enjoy a lunch break. A carefully prepared dish of the day, bursting with flavor. Worth discovering.
