Before we go on to what made it a bad experience, let me tell you a few good things about the hotel - 1) It is a centrally located hotel; 2) The hotel is located close to the tramway, so travelling around the city is no problem 3) Some hotel staff are courteous; 4) The lobby is tastefully decorated.

We wanted to try a 2 or 3 star hotel to see what the difference was. Having seen 2 star hotels in the states we were hesitant but the Europeans we met use them all the time. Now I understand why. You may not get all the amenities, but the staff at du Simplon could not have been more pleasant... More

We stayed at Hotel du Simplon for 5 nights. The room was clean and comfortable (if a little warm for our taste) and seems to have been recently refurbished. The WiFi was a little bit unpredictable, but it was free! Some comments about the small size of rooms seem unreasonable to us, French hotel rooms are rarely large and we’ve... More

Service on arrival was first class, staff were very helpful and welcoming, receptionist recommended a fantastic restaurant to eat and is was fab. The room was great,clean and comfortable. The only annoying thing in most of these hotels is no kettle!! Oh and small but that is France you learn to accept it.

We stayed here in May 2011 and really enjoyed it. We got a great deal, and the price included breakfast every day. It's right in the main district and a short walk from the Perrache train station and close to metro, etc. The rooms are small, but we stayed in Lyon for a week and only used it as a... More

This is a basic hotel in an old building. Rooms are small but clean. My bathroom was recently totally renovated and was great. This is of course a two star hotel, do not expect great luxury over here, but for its category it is perfectly fit. It is located at <5 minutes from Perache, with easy tram, metro and train... More

We chose this hotel partly because it had been recommended in the Lonely Planet guide, and partly out of convenience, as it is very close to Perrache train station. The building itself is old and quirky, with very pretty common areas. Our room was a standard double, and although it was quite small, it was perfectly sufficient for our needs... More

The hotel is steps from the Perrache train station and close to many good restaurants. The staff are very friendly. The common areas of the hotel are warm and charming. The rooms themselves are small and simple, though clean. Breakfast is continental but also fairly priced. There are several good restaurants within a 15 minute walk and Brasserie Georges is... More
