It is at a prime location. However the toilet has a strong odor and the hair dryer is a joke because it constantly shuts off after overheating.

I stayed in a double room for 3 nights and thought the place was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is a little tired in places but a great location for transport hubs and exploring the city. Good value for money.

The hotel is a modest three star hotel and, at least in the case of my room, has small rooms. However the room was compact and designed to make maximum use of the available space. Everything was immaculate and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is modest but tasteful. In short it offers excellent value for a hotel of this level.

Fantastic Hotel!

We had a fantastic stay at the Hotel Du Simplon! It was in a great location close to everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable and tastefully decorated, and we felt very safe and secure. Staff members were helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay again next time we’re in Lyon!

Very charming with excellent views

Very charming hotel, with a nod to the classic hospitality of Italy in the 50’s and 60’s. Get the fountain view for sure, and have breakfast upstairs on the terrace. The staff was great, helpful and informative.

We appreciated the warm greeting from Clotilde. The hotel is near the tram (roughly two blocks away) and the metro. The breakfast buffet is filling and costs e16.00/person. There are patisseries nearby and the U Express grocery store if you’d rather not have breakfast at the hotel. Please don’t complain about the size of the rooms! This is Europe and a charming hotel. If you want it super-sized, then go to the States. We had a lovely stay, in a quiet neighborhood and felt like one of the locals.
