Hotonnes Holidays from £569

I loved the atmosphere the hotel provides to its guests: cosy and welcoming. The view was spectacular, the food delicious and the service of the staff in general was over our expectations. Special thanks for the reception team for a warm welcome, particularly to Heyet. ❤️

Don’t know the name of the young woman at the reception desk the weekend evenings of 4/27-28 but she is treasure for the hotel. May she be rewarded greatly.

Overall the Hotel du Simplon is charming, comfortable and quiet. However, it was missing a few of the little touches that one usually expects with a hotel - coffee & tea in the rooms, ditto for glasses, tissues etc. I'd stay again, but I'd probably look at other options first.

Our room, the common areas, staff, and breakfast buffet all very nice. The odd location of lights around the bathroom was, however, annoying.

Hotel was lovely and ideally located, right on the metro. Breakfast was over-priced so we only splurged once in our 3 nights. Many cafe's within stepping distance from the hotel, even in the rain. And believe me, there is rain! Limited parking available, although the public parking garage is close by and convenient. We only needed the car to attend a wedding, so really you wouldn't need a car at all to just explore the city, since the train system is so amazing. Rooms are small, but very comfortable - not much walking space around your bed if you have lots of luggage. Impossibly small safe, couldn't even hold a macbook. Shower is strong. Rooms are a bit noisy if you have a street-facing room. The front desk is very friendly and helpful for dinner suggestions. We had two really great dinners just blocks from the hotel: Le Poêlon d'Or was a 5* and Le Comptoir d'Ainay was a notch less, since it seemed pricey for no reason, but tasty. We did very well on our limited French. Very safe and lively location for a hotel.

There was no facilities or general needs in the room. No shampoo, conditioner, jug to boil water, tea bags, milk. Only one coffee pod supplied per person per day.
