CDoug,

Perhaps you might find a place in this list from Hostelworld. http://www.hostelworld.com/findabed.php/ChosenCity.Lyon/ChosenCountry.France. Cool & Bed, 32 quai Arloing, looks good.

Bon Voyage and Buen Camino,

Margaret

We stayed at "Hotel Premier Classe", 75 Boulevard Marius Vivier Merle, this time last year. Small rooms with bunk beds, own bathroom, clean & well managed, reasonably cheap & included breakfast. It backs onto railway line but train noise was not a problem. Less than 5 minutes walk from railway station which is on same street. OK for one or two nights.

You don't have to reserve a seat. Buy your ticket at Lyon Part Dieu station. Refunds depend on the fare structure-the cheaper tickets can't be refunded after departure. However, there are a number of trains during the day so you shouldn't worry about missing one. You will have to change trains at St Etienne Chateaucreux where you may have to go to another platform. There is not too long between trains, so you can't dawdle.
The scenery between St Etienne & le Puy is beautiful.
have a good trip.
