We stayed at this hotel on the way to the South of France. It is just of the Place Carnot in a quiet street. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the rooms, although quite small, were clean and comfortable. There is no air con and the weather was very hot but, on request, the staff quickly found us... more

I stayed here for three nights. I stayed in a single room with a double bed. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from the Perrache station. There is a laundry place nearby and several good restaurants are within walking distance. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. more

Room was very cheap and conveniently located near the train station but still close to the centre of Lyon. Requested a quiet room and got it. The room was quite large with a bath tube. Comfortable bed, so it was good value for money. Staff was very helpful and recommended great non-touristy places. more

Hotel du Simplon has an excellent location, about a block away from Lyon Perrache train station. We arrived in another train station and took the cheap/regular/easy to use Lyon Metro from our station to Perrache and used this metro stop to get around the city during the weekend. We easily walked to Place Bellecour, and it was a bit of... more

We stayed at Le Simplon recently and have nothing but praise for the hotel and staff. Having had to change our plans, we arrived a day early; as Le Simplon was full, the receptionist phoned around the area and found us another hotel for that night. Our eventual stay at Le Simplon was excellent, especially considering the great value. Lovely... more

The hotel is very central, just next to the Lyon Perrache train station and 5 minutes away from Place de Bellecour (by walk). Rooms are clean but a bit small. The people working there are very nice and the breakfast (orange juice + coffee + croissant + bread & jam) is included in the price. The hotel has just been... more

We stayed at the Hotel du Simplon for 2 nights on the 5th and 6th January. The front office staff are cheery and pleasant and we received a warm welcome but a young girl who could speak English. The room was spacious and homely and very clean. Breakfast was basic: bread, croissant and juice. The hotel is a short walk... more

The hotel has the basic necessities, there's nothing spectacular about it. One plus point is that it is very close to the Lyon Perrache metro station. We had some difficulty locating it the first time, but it was pretty simple from then on. more

uThis small, charming hotel is a find in the bustling city of Lyon because of its super-convenient location next to the Gare de Perrache and its incredible service. The owner, whose name is a variety of cherry, has a lovely collection of cherry-motif items displayed around the public areas, and her sunny, helpful demeanor made us feel as warmly welcome... more
