Cleanliness
5
Multiple reviews report rooms not cleaned for days, dirty floors (notably under beds) and inconsistent housekeeping — significant negative impact on cleanliness.
Service
8.6
Mixed but generally positive: several guests praise helpful, friendly reception staff and professional welcome; however there is a serious isolated complaint about a rude receptionist who refused breakfast.
Location
9.8
Consistently praised for proximity to the stadium, metro and being convenient for concerts; safe and quiet neighbourhood and easy access to parking.
Room Quality
7
Rooms described as somewhat small and a bit old/dated with signs of wear; specific issues include poor water pressure and layout quirks (e.g., sink placement).
Amenities
8
Good practical amenities like private parking and bike rental noted, but lacking some in-room facilities (no fridge, no safe, no AC in many rooms) which lowers amenity score.
Value for Money
8
Several guests mention good value and reasonable price for location, though a few felt it was a waste of money due to the condition and service lapses.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast is often described as varied and good (local yogurts, plentiful choices), but there are also reports of poor/unavailable breakfast and at least one incident where a guest was denied service.
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall positive mainly due to excellent location and generally friendly staff, tempered by recurring cleanliness problems and occasional service failures that reduce the stay experience.

Value for money accomodation in a quiet area away from the crazy city centre during La Braderie
Pros:

Hotel was chosen based on price and convenience of travelling into the centre of Lille by public transport.
Room was an excellent size and had 3 single beds, one of which in a separate room.
Free car parking and access to the metro by a 5 minute walk.
Hotel has it's own bar and restaurant

Cons:

Nothing really unexpected. Hotel is a little isolated being on the iniversity campus and as such there are no shops / bars / restaurants nearby but this was expected after reading other reviews and checking it's location

De locatie was top vlakbij de metro waar je binnen 10 min in het centrum van Lille bent voor nog geen 2 euro
Pros:

De locatie, het personeel was erg aardig en behulpzaam zeker de dame aan de receptie

Cons:

De kamer was sober en gedateerd, de douche was in het bad zodat je niet rechtop kon staan, er was geen airco. Op de kamer, geen koelkastje en geen koffiezet apparaat, het bed was erg smal en zakte een beetje door

Pros:

Un accueil de chacun des employés impeccable, à l’écoute.
Rapport qualité /prix vraiment bien
