My friend and I stayed in a twin room for one night in Lyon. Since we had limited time in Lyon, being so close to the tram/metro station was a big plus. Our room was on the first floor facing the street, so traffic noise was constant throughout the night (bring earplugs). The room itself was clean and very basic... More

We stayed at this hotel in late November/December 2011. It is conveniently located near Gare Parrache, just off Place Carnot with its Christmas Market in full swing. The staff at Hotel du Simplon was very welcoming and obliging. Rooms were a typical size for a small French hotel, but very clean and comfortable. I was surprised to see one review... More

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...
