Du Simplon

"Great staff. Nice rooms with new bathrooms. Well placed close to Old town. Well priced. Breakfast available."

"I booked this hotel as it was close to Perrache bus and railway station which worked out perfectly. Its very quaint, lovely staff and for what I paid satisfactory. My room was a tad small and the bathroom more like a broom cupboard but as I was in and out a lot, it still suited my needs. The bed linen was of good quality however and everything was very clean. I think that 2 nights is enough, but for convenience I was happy."

"Check-out wasn't until midday. I had the do not disturb sign on my door; yet staff (I can assume it was housekeeping) tried to unlock my door at 1030am before I yelled that I'm in here.. ridiculous and felt like absolutely no privacy. There is no lock on the inside of the door / even a door lock chain, so anyone with a key can simply open up the door. Safety was just also a concern at this point too. I booked a single room as it was just for one night I required. Rather bad rust in the bathroom (pictured). The bathroom is smaller than Harry Potter's closet, the shower is more like a wet room and not very practical if you were staying longer than one night. If you are a light sleeper good luck because every single noise travels through from the road noise outside to the noise from people walking, chatting and clunking things in the hallway. It is as loud to think that they are making all this noise in the room itself. I'm not even a light sleeper and this noise disturbed me. My room was on the 2nd floor. Even for one night I wouldn't book this hotel again. Do yourself a favour and book somewhere better."
