We stayed at the Hotel du Simplon on two different occasions during the World Cup. While we took a two day break, the hotel was kind enough to store our extra luggage until we returned. Our rooms were not huge, just big enough for the two of us. If you need a large room, this hotel is not for you. However if you want to stay at a hotel with fantastic customer service; that feels like a house, then this is your place. The owner is very proud of his two hotels in Lyon. They have been in his family for a long time. The rooms are small but clean and efficient. There is breakfast onsite for 12€, which has everything you need and is much more convenient than searching for breakfast elsewhere. The front desk is 24 hours, which means you turn in your key when you leave and retrieve it when you come back. No losing this key! We really enjoyed this hotel and would return if we come back to Lyon.
