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.

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

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 Bathroom is outdated, and the shower is at wrist level (not above the head).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 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.

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!
