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.

its clean enough but the upper bunk bed I think its too dangerous even for my 10 yo. The guardrails is too low as the mattress is too thick. The family room decor is a bit dated compare to the other rooms I can see in photo but clean enough.

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.

We booked a superior room for the bath tub on the Hotels. Com picture. They gave us a little static upon check in about not having to provide it for us, despite me spending $16 more for it. Then the elevator is not working and we have to carry luggage 3 floors… not a professional property. No coffee maker either. Unusual for 2024.

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.

Convenient and clean for family

We loved our visit to Hotel du Simplon. The hotel is a few blocks from fantastic restaurants and a shopping district. It is also a block from running/biking paths along the river. We loved exploring Lyon from the convenience of Hotel du Simplon. The room was perfect for our family of four - bunk beds and a queen. Everything was clean. The staff was knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. Wonderful hotel. Lots of convenient and safe garage parking available three blocks from hotel.

It was comfortable, older style with some internal upgrades. Unfortunately we needed parking and the price was increased to 35 euros per night (about $56 Australian), which is a lot, so we saved a bit by skipping the 16 euro per person breakfast and ate elsewhere for a lot less.
