We went for the weekend. The hotel is what you would expect from a Ibiss and it suited our needs. The photo shown is not the Tourcoing Ibiss so be warned of that & right out side the entrance is a rather large building site that looks if it will be ongoing untill the end of 2010.

spent 3 nights here. clean and comfortable. building work not a problem as was a weekend. hotel restaraunt and bar a little more expensive than places outside.Breakfast was good and plentiful. Nice little bistro/restaraunt nearby called the horseshoe(can,t remember french name for it). Would have no problem staying here again

Had a the great time on the Travelsphere trip to the WW1 Battlefields trip to France/Belgium - 12th to the 15th of June. The trip was very-well organised and the guide David Reeding was excellent. We stayed in the Ibis at Tourcoing - a 2-star hotel much like every other Ibis.

There was a massive building site outside as the centre of Tourcoing is being improved, but there was no noise as we there over a weekend. The location is fine with shops and bars/restaurants within a 5-minute walk.

The rooms are small with not much hanging space and are very very warm - but oppressive for me. They are clean and adequate for a short stay though. You get TV but only the BBC World News channel is in English - other channels are French and Italian.

The breakfast is great - very good Continental style, but eating in the restaurant there is only really recommended for your first night there. If its your only night then go out and explore Tourcoing, We went to the Horse Shoe restaurant off an unpromising looking side street behind the second square (shopping district) and it was excellent.

The hotel restaurant is extremely warm too, and the service is not great (as per the other reviews which go into more detail).

All in all - ok, but definitely 2-star.

I have just returned from a 3 night stay over the August Bank Holiday. There are still lots of roadworks and alternations taking place which we will be great when finished. As we stayed over the weekend it was quiet but started up on the Monday as we left.

The twin room was not a bad size, the bed and pillows were ok and the shower was excellent.

No tea making facilties here so took our own kettle for a 'cup of tea'
The breakfast was a good selection including juice, tea, coffee, pancakes, yoghurts,fruit, crossiants, cake, cereals, bread, cheese and ham. The area at night is very quiet and we only found 4 restaurants of which 2 we ate in being 'The Islander' and the Chinese' The hotel does have a restaurant but we decided to eat out. The hotel is Ok for a short stay as the nightlife is nil, unless you visit Lille.
