spent one night here at end August 09 on way to south of france with some trepidation as an agent had booked it for us and I only checked the trip advisor comments afterwards! However, we dad a lovely big quiet double room (had asked for quiet). It was a hot night but we were fine without air conditioning. OK... more

We returned to this hotel for a second three-day break and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was large and airy despite there being no air-conditioning; the bed was comfortable and the bathroom roomy and well-appointed. Service was exemplary and the breakfast in particular was first-rate. The location is ideal for us as it is five minutes' walk from... more

First of all- NO AIR CONDITIONING? Are you kidding me? And since my windows did not openall the way, I could not get a breeze. The rooms are mediocre. It did not feel clean - it felt old and run down. The Quay across the way had teenagers drinking and breaking glass late at night so that was not so... more

Stayed here for one night as I had a business meeting in Lille. I was lucky with my room (306 - see previous reviews!) which was clean, spacious with comfy bed -so no complaints from me. I could imagine it getting hot in the summer, but the weather was cool when I was there. Had a good dinner in the... more

We visited by car coming by ferry from Dover. The drive from Calais was about an hour. This is a little difficult to navigate without sat nav but the hotel is in the heart of the Central Business District of Lille and is located across from the canal / river which passes it. It is a really historic hotel, in... more

After reading some of the reports on this hotel I really wonder what some people expect of a hotel. I travelled with my wife ,Brother and his partner and we all had a very pleasant 3 night stay at the hotel. We alll thought that the hotel looked great and as some people have mentioned the rooms are a litte... more

This hotel looks absolutely lovely on the website. Be warned: the rooms are not anything special. Only the common areas are beautiful. This is primarily a business hotel. But the worst part of every thing was that there is no air conditioning. I repeat there is no air-conditioning. We were caught in a heat wave and they put us on... more

We loved "the rooms", as we had to change the original room to an air-conditioned one, after a stiffling night. Saturday night is very noisy, as the locals use it as their late night hang out. Staff very friendly, except one receptionist - who does not use the local transport - who proceeded to give us all the wrong information... more

We stayed for two nights at midsummer, recommended by a Lille resident. The building is well-situated, alongside a quay and stopped-up section of canal and 5-10 minutes from the centre of the old town (and Vieux Lille is now stuffed full of designer boutiques, furniture and art shops). As we passed through Reception into the old cloisters, we thought we'd... more
