Matig
Pros:

Locatie

Cons:

Ontbijt, te duur voor wat er aangeboden wordt. Rommelig, wachten op nieuwe aanvoer brood, onhandig opgesteld buffet.
Temperatuur op de kamer, te warm, verwarming uitgezet, tevergeefs, ging vanzelf weer aan.

I did enjoy my stay. The hotel also felt very safe to be in.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and easy to do. The location was great. Easy to get to all the sights etc

Cons:

Some staff were friendly others not so. When travelling alone it makes all the difference to see a happy welcoming face !

Agréable séjour au cœur de Lille
Pros:

La chasse d'eau de la Chambre était défectueuse, avec un bruit répétitif. Le petit déjeuner était très bien avec de multiples variétés de pains. Il manque un vrai chocolat au lait pas fait en machine. Emplacement idéal. Personnel très sympathique.

Cons:

La salle de bain version cabine.

We had a pleasant stay in Lille and would stay at the Mercure Hotel again.
Pros:

Great location just a stones throw from the Grande Place. Amazing breakfast. Upgrade to a suite was very good value.

Cons:

Paintwork looking a little tired in places. Noise from service floor was a little annoying early in morning.
