Pros:

Good location. Room a bit on the small side, but very clean bathroom. Good choice at breakfast, but you have to make your own eggs. Friendly and helpful staff. Only stayed a night.

Mooie locatie en goede kamer. Jammer van de lage waterdruk
Pros:

De ligging en de uitstraling

Cons:

De waterdruk is laag en dat zorgt ervoor dat de regendouche alleen drupepelt

Voor een paar dagen in Lille is dit hotel een echte aanrader met een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

Prachtig gebouw, mooie kamer en gelegen op een ideale locatie. Vriendelijk personeel en een goed ontbijt.

Ondanks minder correcte prijs-kwaliteitverhouding, prima hotel met wel echt een fantastische ligging.
Pros:

De ligging was perfect! Het oude centrum lag vlak om de hoek. Gezellige terrasjes en lekkere restaurantjes in overvloed en op loopafstand. Het grote winkelcentrum lag ook op slechts 7min wandelen. Parking vlak voor de deur en voor een zeer schappelijke prijs, wij betaalden €15 voor 24u. Moderne tv waarop je kon streamen via chromecast. Ontbijt was prima.

Cons:

Onze kamer was erg klein en had een vreemde indeling. Airco koelde niet heel erg goed en de badkamer was echt super klein. Net genoeg plek voor 1 persoon. De douche was ook niet super proper. Voor een nachtje was dit uiteindelijk wel te doen. De ligging maakte veel goed. Prijs-kwaliteit vind ik niet helemaal correct. (Zou eerder 3 ipv 4 sterren geven.)

Great location but a few shortcomings for a four-star hotel
Pros:

Excellent location, large room, excellent bathroom lighting

Cons:

While the lighting in the bathroom itself was excellent, you could not dry your hair there but had to use a gloomy mirror in the hallway. Lackadaisical room cleaning with something always missing: slippers, Towel, coffee capsules etc. Staff seemed unhappy about our simple request to have the extra bed made back into a sofa which we weren’t going to heave ourselves. Just one lift so always a wait.
