My wife and I stayed here four nights in October 2011, and loved it. We had breakfast the first day, but not after that as it's not really good value. The staff were awesome during our stay, indulging us by speaking English as our French is terrible. They also gave us a corkscrew and some wine glasses after we purchased... More

This Hotel is conveniently located near Parrache station which makes getting to and fro the airport and other metro stations very convenient. It means that it is sort of on the edge of the central area and away from the old (and more touristy) part of the city, but if you like to walk around cities when you visit, then... More

I was on a business trip in Lyon and had some time for sightseeing. So I booked this hotel close to Perrach station. Very friendly staff and a very personaldecorated interior. Yes, the rooms are small (especially for customers from the US, who are not used to small hotel rooms in Europe), but they are meticulously clean, well decorated, ahve... More

We spent a weekend in a superior room, no 9, and were very satisfied. Comfortable (twin)beds and pillows, big room for being France, renovated bathroom. A desk, TV, free and fast wi fi, that was fixed over night when it stopped working. Extremely nice and helpful staff, including the owner herself with whom we had a nice chat before leaving.... More

We enjoyed our stay in Hotel du Simplon very much. The hotel was located close to the train station--just a short walk from the Saone and a lovely historic part of town. Our room was small and sufficient, though it wasn't the cleanest place we stayed. However, what made Hotel du Simplon for us was the staff. They were extremely... More

We stayed in this little hotel for 2 evenings and really have no negative remarks about it. * The hotel staff was very friendly and available 24/7 * The room was small (but how much time do you spend in it anyways) but very clean and newly decorated. * The location is good as you can easily explore the whole...

After reading some negative reviews with regard to the size and quality of some rooms, I booked a double room asking for a big and quiet one. Room 49 was lovely: good size, windows to the quieter side of the building, end of hall so no noise from other guests, Reception told me that this was their biggest room and... More

I picked this hotel due to the decent price and the fairly positive reviews. I went in with an open mid and wasn't disappointed! This is a gem of a hotel, right next to a lovely park and a mainline station with connections round Lyon and beyond (including the airport with one change). There are loads of restarants and cafes...

Nice things start at the reception desk - well trained and polite staff, speaks English and all major languages. Lobby is big for such a small place and looks personable. Books of old prints scattered throughout. Room was good size, recently and tastefully decorated , Flat screen TV with a 1 or 2 English language channels (big deal in France)... More
