The hotel is clean. The location is perfect, walking distance to all touristic attractions. The air condition works so loudly and the room is really smaller than photos.

Great location for exploring. Friendly staff.

Great location for exploring on foot. Very friendly, helpful staff. Lots of good bars, cafes, restaurants, and shopping in the immediate vicinity. A little construction noise ftom outside in the mornings. Good value.

10/10 Exceptional

AC works well. Location is excellent, close to all forms of transportation as well as neighborhood restaurants. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The building is a bit older but well-kept. All in all, I am glad I stayed at Du Simplon.
Ali, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good choice for an inexpensive hotel in Lyon. Good location. Simple clean and tidy rooms, courteous staff. No fridge in room and the bathroom while clean and tidy was 1970s vintage with shower in bath. You get what you pay for and I would recommend. Family rooms also a good option.
James, 2-night trip

The hotel is very well located and the rooms extremely clean. We will book it again for our next stay in the beautiful city of Lyon!

It is at a prime location. However the toilet has a strong odor and the hair dryer is a joke because it constantly shuts off after overheating.
