Hotel is well located with quiet and clean rooms and very friendly staff. I was in a double room and it was small but comfortable for one. I think the smaller room would have been a struggle. Breakfast was good. Only downside was that the mattress was quite lumpy. Overall, a solid 3 star hotel.

Loved the vibe-very clean but not fussy, eco but not militant, classy but not over the top. My room was efficient and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was copious and delicious.

The hotel was a good surprise. We had a cozy room but it was enough to host our family with 2 small kids. The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The hotel location is very convenient, close to the Perrache train station (walkable) and with plenty of restaurants close by. We had a very comfortable stay.

8/10 Very good

Hotel Simplon is conveniently located near the Perrache metro stop on the "peninsula," between the rivers. We found it a great location--to walk to the old town and to restaurants/cafes, much of it via a pedestrian zone, 'Rue Victor Hugo'. Hotel staff members were friendly and v. helpful, esp. a young man (Adrien?) at the desk when we arrived in the afternoon on June 8, who gave crystal clear walking and metro directions (esp. to the airport). He also found us a room with a slightly larger shower which made a big difference. While an older hotel with only fours floors and a tiny lift, it was well-maintained and clean. Our room was small; the bed was comfortable, and there were no noise issues. [We did not see smoke detectors/sprinklers in our rooms, and meant to inquire, but forgot.] The terrific staff made the difference between a good stay and a very good one!
