We stayed 4 nights at Hotel du Simplon towards the end of August 2009. We had booked by email, and had confirmation, a 'Comfort' room with a bath. On our arrival late in the evening we were given a room(32) with no bath but shower only. The lady in reception spoke even less English that my minimal French and we... more

We stayed in Lyon for 3 nights on our way around France and were really glad we chose Hotel Simplon, our welcome was friendly and helpful. The room small but beautifully decorated and equipped with digital/internet tv. We didn't have far to carry luggage from nearby Perrache station and it is close to metro to get to other rail station... more

Spent 3 nights at hotel du Simplon and was very pleased. Staff was very helpful and nice - a big thing in a French hotel. The hotel itself is cosy, rooms are ok, though small but I suppose there aren't many who would stay in a hotel all day. The location of the hotel is great. It is 5 min... more

If you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay in Lyon this is the place to stay. Our room was spotless and had a great bed. Yes, the bathroom is small but serves it serves its purpose very well. Don't be fool by the low pirces of the room. This place is worth a lot more. more

The hotel is within a short walk of Perrache train station, so getting there from the airport is very straightforward. Reception efficient, rooms clean but compact, shower pressure excellent even on the 3rd floor and the hot water was hot and the cold water cold. No aircon, but windows open fully and there are shutters to keep the sun out.... more

I stayed in Hotel du Simplon only one night with a group of teenagers in tow. My single room was adorable, beautiful and just the right size for one person. Everything was immaculately clean. As for the other rooms (I saw about five of them) - all were decorated differently, all were unique but mine was still the best. (It's... more

It is located near to the Perrache train station. Although at 800 meters from the old village center, where most of the Boucons are, the street is not as beautifull and more like an comercial street. I stayed in a double bed room, it was small but clean, with clean bedshits. Toilet is new and shower is good. more

My friend and I stayed at the Hotel du Simplon for two nights. It is a great location if you are coming in via Gare de Lyon-Perrache...whatever you do, DON'T GET A TAXI from this train station, it's a rip off! We weren't sure where the hotel was and didn't have a map so we got in a taxi (fare... more

there is little doubt that this hotel is centrally located on a road full of beautiful antique and interior decoration shops. the very friendly staff are also not a common sighting in France, hotel staff are usually courteous but this hotel team takes it a step further. what is really worth a mention though is the effort of the hotel... more
