Best Hotels near Lancel(LILLE), Lille

Stayed one night (driving through Lille) with the family. We reserved a ‘Family Room’ and got two adjacent rooms (connected through an inside door), hence had two bathrooms, TVs, the whole lot. The hotel looks recently renovated (or built), it is very well located in the city center of Loos, plenty of places to eat nearby, a beautiful park, and a Carrefour (in case you need some groceries). The hotel has all measures for dealing with COVID-19 and the breakfast was served to ensure guests are not on top of each other and the food. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and will pass by again.

If you want to actually go to Lille, DO NOT BOOK HERE, you’ll never make it!! We booked this hotel in May 2022, for two trips in September and October 2023 for the rugby World Cup, well in advance and getting good prices. It was after that we realised what a shambolic, fraudulent, rogue trader outfit this hotel actually is. They first cancelled our October booking claiming they no longer owned the apartments anymore (?). We had a booking for five, they offered two single rooms as an alternative…..?! *********** did little to help, and we were left spend over £1000 more to get alternative accommodation which, quite obviously, was limited and now very expensive. Once is frustrating….. surely they wouldn’t do it again…. They’ve now cancelled our September booking, claiming renovation work that won’t be complete. Who is renovating their hotel in the middle of the World Cup…. So they’ve cancelled the reservation, and *********** have provided a one bed studio outside of Lille as a ‘suitable’ alternative….. for five adults 🤦🏼! Incompetent, fraudulent, thieves. Do not book, they’ll overbook and cancel you, leaving you to pick up the tab.

We chose this hotel on cost, but it turned out to be very well-located, an easy 10-minute walk from either Lille station and the city centre (Grand Place), and even closer to the old town. The hotel is clean and functional, with all the basics: comfy bed, tiny but well appointed ensuite shower-room, small desk and surprisingly comfortable chair, blackout blind on the window... Breakfast was the usual cold buffet items: cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, breads, croissants, preserves, plus juices and hot drinks. All high quality except the whole apples (there was fruit salad too), which were dull and several were bruised - both mornings. Wifi was good both in our 4th floor room and in the breakfast room. Staff were rather dour, and not quite on it clearing breakfast detritus, for example, but that was fairly minor issue for us. But it was the location which made it special - just round the corner from Rue du Gand, a pretty cobbled street full of eating establishments and gateway to both the old town and the main centre.

The location is very good, just beside the train station in Fran, less than 5 minutes walk. It takes more than 10 minutes to walk to the European railway station. It is less than 10 minutes from the hotel to the old city centre. Carrefour, Chinese restaurants and western restaurants are on the doorstep. Eating is more convenient. The hotel is old and relatively clean, but the rooms are small and the European hotels are like this.

Very well Inconvenient there is no parking except paying or places to be able to park around the hotel

We spent our holiday in the junior suite. We were lucky to be there in lovely weather so we could enjoy the luxury of the spacious terrace. The room was large too, and well equipped. All the amenities were present except ironing facilities. The minibar was replenished daily and all the contents of it were really free. The only disappointing discomfort was that the minibar was definitely not cool enough. Especially as we were there during a heat wave. The room temperature was OK thanks to the powerful but silent airco. Street noise did not enter the room, nor sounds from the adjacent room. We had comfortable nights in Why hotel. The bedding was excellent. So was the cleaning. We appreciated the offer of greening up, which meant that we kept our towels during our stay in order to improve ecological footprint. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was varied and ample. The location of the hotel was close to the Place Rihour and the beautiful Grand Place of Lille. Public transport was nearby, cheap and efficient. We had rented a parking place of the hotel in a secured parking garage close to the hotel, but we did most of our trips by metro for instance to Roubaix and Tourcoing. We had one of our best holiday experiences in Why hotel. Whole heartedly recommended!

Good location. Close to the train station, but Lille was not big. But the environment is really bad. I was sleepy. I was woken up several times in the middle of the night. First, the smoke alarm was called a few times in the middle of the night, and the second was the sound insulation effect was poor. I don’t know who went drunk in the corridor in the middle of the night and the sound was loud. .

The location of this hotel is great. You are literally just round the corner from Le Grande Place and only about 9 minutes’ walk from the Euralille station. The place is clean and rather small. Breakfast is included in the price, which is a bonus. Breakfast is a typical continental style with ham, cheeses, pastries, eggs, etc. it was perfectly fine. Six of us stayed here in six rooms over the weekend and found it a great base from which to explore the city. It was also a reasonable price and the staff were friendly and spoke English. There were two downsides (nowhere is perfect). Firstly, the heating in my room was very erratic. When we arrived it was 1C outside and my room was cold. I turned up the electronic control to 24C but it did absolutely nothing at all. Next morning at breakfast I reported this. 10 mins later I was told it had been checked and was working perfectly. I was curious. When I got back to my room I found the heating was still not working. The room was cold and even turning the thermostat to 28C produced no warm air from the grille whatsoever (even after waiting 20 mins). I therefore turned the thermostat down to 19C and went out for the day. When I got back I could see that somebody had turned the thermostat up to 27C and the room was exceptionally warm. I turned it down to 19C. The temperature dropped, and dropped until the room was quite cold again. Nothing I did could turn that heating back on. So I gave up. The second downside? The toilet paper in the bathroom was ridiculously small. Each square being a little over the size of a postage stamp. Come on Ibis. Install some proper toilet paper like people use at home. Apart from these two downsides, I would stay here again. My colleagues, who didn’t have problems with their heating, but who also commented on the toilet paper, would agree.

The hotel is so professionally run, excellent value for money and has real charm. The location is exceptional for exploring Lille - all on your doorstep- and excellent access to trains. It is busy, in a good way, everything works and all the staff know exactly what they are doing. Some reviewers have commented on the lift which we thought was charming, like everything else in this place it does exactly what is needed with no fuss. Friendly, helpful staff in an authentic well run establishment.
