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.

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.

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.

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!

6/10 Good

The toilet was in the shower. The bathroom was like a cruise ship—the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel and the toilet was half in the shower. This is not an exaggeration. The hairdryer was outside of the bathroom, attached to the wall. No room even for that. A metal panel fell from the ceiling—missing really injuring me by 30 seconds. Some of the staff were great, but others not so much. The location was 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

8/10 Very good

Overall the Hotel du Simplon is charming, comfortable and quiet. However, it was missing a few of the little touches that one usually expects with a hotel - coffee & tea in the rooms, ditto for glasses, tissues etc. I'd stay again, but I'd probably look at other options first.

Room was clean and conformable. A little bit small. Area is good and many services around. Parking is 2 blocks away, and, although t is not distant, it demands to drive back to hotel to return the key. Bathroom is outdated, and the shower is at wrist level (not above the head).

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.
