If you like a cosy and more traditional atmosphere/architecture, a park nearby and a handy location close to public transport options this is your value for money option. I especially appreciated the possibility to get an electric kettle / water cooker upon request. The only minus is that the city noices can’t be avoided in downtown Lyon, thus a room higher up and earplugs are recommended.

Bonjour, Il était mentionné que l’hôtel était équipé d’un parking hors arrivé sur place celui-ci était uniquement sur réservation. Rien de mentionné sur votre site. Nous avons payé pour une chambre avec vue sur la ville et ce n’était pas le cas. Nous sommes vraiment déçu d’avoir lu et payé sur votre site des prestations auxquelles nous n’avons pas eu droit…. J’attend un retour de votre part. Merci d’avance

Bonjour Madame, Nous vous remercions de votre retour sur votre séjour à l'Hôtel du Simplon. En effet, nous recommandons fortement à notre clientèle de réserver le parking à l'avance : nous n'avons évidemment pas autant d'emplacements de stationnement que de chambres, étant un hôtel en plein centre ville de Lyon. Réserver un emplacement vous en garantit la disponibilité sur simple confirmation de notre part. Notre site fait bien mention de cela, peut-être pas le site sur lequel vous avez effectué votre réservation en revanche. Pourtant, sur la page de notre établissement sur Expedia, figure bien la mention "Les demandes spéciales, qui ne peuvent pas être garanties, sont soumises à disponibilité à l'arrivée et peuvent entraîner des frais supplémentaires.". Par ailleurs, il n'existe pas d'option payante pour avoir une vue sur la ville dans notre hôtel : et pour cause, nous n'avons que trois étages et sommes situés en plein centre-ville. Etes-vous certaine que vous parlez bien de l'Hôtel du Simplon dans votre commentaire? Nous n'avions par ailleurs reçu aucune demande particulière de votre part avant votre séjour. Nous restons à votre écoute pour tout éclaircissement sur ce séjour. Cordialement

A very pleasant hotel close to the Old City

Very friendly staff and excellent atmosphere. The rooms are small but tidy and well-arranged. The breakfast, not included in the price of the room, is quite good. Excellent location: a short walk over the Saône River to the Renaissance quarter of Lyon.

Simple et pas trop chère. Un peu vieillot mais personnel accueillant.

séjour découverte en famille

l'hotel a bien répondu à nos attentes:il est très bien situé en plein centre de LYON (à coté de tous commerces). Dans la chambre familiale, les 2 lits d'appoints prennent toute la place dans la chambre et peu confortable pour des enfants de 13 et 17 ans.
