The hotel is very well located and the rooms extremely clean. We will book it again for our next stay in the beautiful city of Lyon!
Frederic, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Well located and excellent service. Property was simple but satisfied our needs.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Fred, 4-night trip

Great stay, great staff
What a wonderful little place in Lyon! The front desk was so very kind - all kinds of little extras that made us feel welcome and added immensely to our stay. KUDOS TO THE STAFF!

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.

The walls to the next room were very thin. Upon arrival at Perrache station one meets a tent camp positioned under the bridge close to the metro entrance.
Kvist, 3-night trip

France road trip
Great location, good vibe in the neighborhood easy to walk to restaurants
Brent, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Giovanni, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and very helpful staff. Parking garage was key.
James, 2-night trip

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!
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and pleasant hotel in a very convenient location. The down sides were that there was noisy building work being done across the road first thing in the mornings and the air con didn’t work which resulted in a very hot and stuffy room to sleep in
Ben, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
