The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly and speak English. Excellent parking space. Only a 10 to 15 min. walk from the city center. Beautiful surroundings near the hotel. Nice, clean room and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended for a city trip.

6/10 Good

The property was clean and tidy and has a nice bar area with a lovely and helpful bar lady called Aurelian. The rooms were comfy but rather poorly lit - impossible to read a book in bed. On arrival we were given two double rooms but had booked two twins. This took about 50 minutes to resolve and the reception staff did not apologise but seemed to think they had done us a favour! They were generally rather offhand. On our second night one was working in the bar area taking up a table and having a very loud online conversation.

There is no priority for the hotel guests to have dinner. Had to stay in a row for more than 30/40 min. Food was not tasty. Served cold…

Very satisfied

Very good value for money, with all one needs, including air conditioning, comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, and a safe. In an excellent position as well.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel that was BETTER than the photos? Neither had I... until I stayed here. It's stunning inside and out. Large,spacious bedroom with a comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast. Fab area to explore Lille a pied.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location with clean and welcoming rooms

The hotel is conveniently located. It is very close to the historic Citadel, now a large park with a zoo and amusement park, and fantastic for walks and runs. The hotel is a short walk to the centre of Lille and about a 20 mins leisurely walk from the Eurostar station. The hotel has been modernised. The rooms are clean and welcoming and very quiet. The bar served a good range of alocollic and non-alcoholic cocktails and drinks. Breakfast was included in our booking and there was a good variety. We found the staff friendly.

8/10 Very good

Nice atmosphere, great location 10 min. walkcentre. And parking when you are on time. We had a twin room quite spacious on the 3rd floor. Only when opening windows for fresh air at night music comes up the atrium. And note: bathtub was very high getting in for a shower. Hotel should mention this by booking! We had no problem but older people...And there is a safety handel missing in the bath to hold when you get out it is bit unsafe.

4/10 Fair

A neglected two star for the price of four.

The hotel opened 33 years ago and it shows. It’s like time had stopped. Everything is tired and rundown, the floor carpet in the worst condition I have ever seen, the whole architecture concept old fashioned to say the least. All for the price of a four star that the hotel still claims to be. Just avoid it until they renovate it (construction to start next year, they told me). For info: parking overnight costs 21 euros (which we were not properly informed about at arrival).
