As a family with 2 rooms we loved this hotel was worried after reading poor reviews but we were happy with everything. Rooms good and beds were very comfortable, breakfast was plentiful, and staff were pleasant and helpful. Maybe a little faded in the rooms a little chipped paint etc not totally modern but not enough for us to worry about. I guess it depends on your expectations of hotels but we were more than happy with this hotel. Was not too far to town centre and Christmas market a 10 minute walk maybe but nice and quiet surroundings. Had parking for our two cars but may have not had so much room if arriving late as could not reserve spaces. First visit to Lille as usually go to German Christmas market but we really liked the town. All in all a very good trip.

Chambre spacieuse et correcte dans l'ensemble, malgré quelques taches sur la moquette. Très belle literie aussi. Le petit déjeuner était excellent, servi dans un très beau cadre, et le personnel vraiment au petit soin. En revanche, nous avons été déçu des personnes présentes à l'accueil. Lors de notre arrivée, il nous a été annoncé que nous n'aurions pas de lit bébé - j'avais précisé que nous venions avec un enfant de 2 ans, mais j'avais omis de mettre en commentaire que nous avions besoin d'un adapté. La jeune femme m'a simplement dit que sans commentaire, pas de lit, et n'a pas cherché à nous aider à résoudre le problème. Le lendemain matin au départ, discours un peu bizarre concernant la taxe de séjour. Rien de grave, mais léger manque d'efficacité dans le paiement. En bref, une prestation dont nous sommes satisfaits dans l'ensemble mais un accueil qui mériterait un peu plus de chaleur et de bienveillance. Heureusement, les dames du petit déjeuner sont, elles, très sympathiques.

For a 4-star hotel, I would say it was very dissatisfactory. The carpets have stains, and the toilet is very old and needs a serious renovation. The shower space was clean but it does not have a shower head (yes I am not joking). There was a broken hand held water spray that leaked water from everywhere. I asked them to fix or replace it and add a showerhead but they told me “it is impossible” (can you believe?). The built in iron was not working properly. However, the breakfast staff are very nice and wonderful. The Comfort Suite room is spacious and the layout is nice.

Le souci est la différence de standing extérieur et la réalité. Chambre des années 90 sans prises pour les téléphones , pas de chaînes satellite ou canal, pas de fenêtre , bruits venant du patio, Check out décevant (pourquoi faire payer la taxe de séjour à la fin?), petit déjeuner correct mais œufs et haricots froids
