AC works well. Location is excellent, close to all forms of transportation as well as neighborhood restaurants. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The building is a bit older but well-kept. All in all, I am glad I stayed at Du Simplon.

Good choice for an inexpensive hotel in Lyon. Good location. Simple clean and tidy rooms, courteous staff. No fridge in room and the bathroom while clean and tidy was 1970s vintage with shower in bath. You get what you pay for and I would recommend. Family rooms also a good option.

Overall the Hotel du Simplon is charming, comfortable and quiet. However, it was missing a few of the little touches that one usually expects with a hotel - coffee & tea in the rooms, ditto for glasses, tissues etc. I'd stay again, but I'd probably look at other options first.

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.

Room was clean and conformable. A little bit small. Area is good and many services around. Parking is 2 blocks away, and, although t is not distant, it demands to drive back to hotel to return the key. Bathroom is outdated, and the shower is at wrist level (not above the head).
