My husband and I stayed here on route back to London after being stranded in Barcelona by the no fly mess in the UK. It was booked by my in-laws.

This is a terrible hotel and I honestly cannot believe some of the other reviews. It is in a very dodgy area and it isn't close to the train station. You have to walk past open building sites and and under a motorway flypass to get into lille. There was plenty of suspicious characters on route as well. We practically sprinted from the metro station to the hotel in the evening to get back (we stayed out as long as possible so we would spend the least amount of time possible in the room)

The room was probably the worst I have ever stayed in (and I include my backpacking days in this). Very small and damp. Bizarre heating. Filthy bedding and rotting carpet. The bathroom was little more then a closet. We had people trying to get into our room 'by accident' and there was no way to bolt the door from within. We were told check out was at 11 but at 9 the clearer was trying to barge in. Thankfully, feeling incredibly unsafe, I put our locked suitcase by the door or else she would have got in.

The young fellow on reception was friendly enough. I can't comment on the food - would have rather gone hungry then try it. 8 euros seemed excessive for breakfast esp when you can get into lille and get some pastries there for a fraction of the price.

The area the hotel is in isn't particularly nice and felt quite dodgy. In order to get near the centre of Lille (Euralille) one has to walk 10 mins past big building sites. The room was small and very hot (no AC). My husband and I got badly bitten by mosquitoes the whole night long, so you might want to bring a repellent. The hotel felt slightly run down. Breakfast was ordinary. The employee who checked us in at night was all right but the staff there in the morning weren't particularly friendly. I mainly booked this hotel because parking was free but if I went back to Lille and didn't have the car I would definitively stay somewhere else.

Great little hotel, friendly management, not too far from the station

Clean and comfortable. Good off road parking and secure parking extra if you need it. A little out of town across a busy road for access to Lille so Not recommended for sight seeing.
