Hotels near Natural History Museum, Lille

We have been travelling around Europe for a few weeks. For the last 2 nights we have been staying at the moxy in lille.. . Fantastic hotel. Very funky decor. From check in to check out the staff were excellent. Very helpful and friendly.. great rooms. Very comfortable bed, lovely shower, love the express breakfast it's a great idea.. great location easy walk to many restaurants and bars.. if you are visiting lille this is a great place to stay..

A centuries-old church-renovated hotel, the collision of classical culture and modern culture, gardens, churches, pianos, murals, elegant and chic environment, gives a heavy feeling. Because the setting of the room is a bit complicated, the front desk will be very intimate to bring guests to the room.

The Holiday Inn was located in a quiet area, fairly central to the centre, with most of the shops, train stations, and some museums nearby. I enjoyed my stay, as the hotel staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was very clean, although small. I will definitely choose to stay there again, and have decided to visit again before the end of the year because I had such a pleasant experience.

On arrival I asked a guy whose comprehension of English was bad.A day later the room was changed as Air Conditioning didn’t work and neither the television. Breakfast was excellent. I returned later to collect post after I checked out to encounter a guest having same issues I had. Don’t allow a room that everything isn’t working in change it immediately. Room change excellent double and not single though same guy turned air conditioning off again as ‘cool’ was interpreted as I was cold!! I wouldn’t return though the guy who changed my room was very nice, understanding and I think I was VERY lucky. I don’t think the room change could have happened without his excellent command of English.

I stayed here for business for 3 months. It a clean and friendly hotel. It is very central therefore easy to walk anywhere in Lille from it. The staff are so friendly and are always keen to help. I always felt it as an oasis of calm .. despite any chaos outside .. rugby World Cup & braderie.. I would walk in the doors to calm & peace. The gym was basic but adequate for my needs and again I enjoyed the calm of it. I would recommend it whole heartedly and will miss it.

We were assigned an accessible junior suite though we didn't request an accessible room.. The bathroom was half finished and the wiring was not completed with the switches for the separate toilet and bath located in the doorway. There were signs pasted on the door to the toilet and the door to the shower stating that the hotel offered its apologies for the inconvenience! There was a workman's support pole found under the sinks which had to be removed by the technician when we complained. There was not a single hook, clothes stand, towel rack or rail anywhere in the bathroom, toilet or room. The hotel staff explained that they would send a technician a second time to drill hooks in the bathroom, we didn't bother since we were staying only 2 nights and didn't want the dust. The shower glass in the shower stall could not contain water within the stall and the floor became wet after we showered. Location wise the hotel is perfect and the staff were polite. Breakfast was a mix of hot cooked food and the usual cold cuts, cheeses, breads, yoghurt, fruits and juices. The breakfast room changes to a bar at night which serves affordable and nice cocktails.

This is a ”classic” hotel but you get a fully equipped kitchenette in the room which is great if you want to have breakfast in or cook something easy and fast. The location between the two train stations is spectacular. The huge Westfield shopping center is just behind the corner with an incredible Carrefour in there. It has been a great staying, the ladies at my check-in have been very very helpful as I had issues with my cards for the payment. I cannot say the same for a guy who worked there in the evening who was completely not interested in my humble request of a bottle opener which oddly enough was not provided in the kitchenette. I am sure if asked, the hotel is going to come up with some safety story or just some fake bla-bla just because they don't want to admit you cannot bring your bottle in the room but you should rather buy the wine from them. Another thing they could improve is the cleanliness of the toilet, bathroom and room floor. Don't get me wrong: they were not visibly dirty. But one could feel they had been ”wiped” carelessly, just to make you believe they are clean. And one could sense the room floor had not been washed with hot water and properly. Same thing for the bath tub. I could just visualize before my eyes the lazy cleaning staff not caring less about the precision of their work. But in a whole I absolutely give the property a thumb up and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the beauty and charm of Lille and northern France!

Rooms hot and poorly ventilated. We We’re pleased it wasn’t summer! The bed was comfortable and linen clean and fresh. Bathroom was ok, but so small I could barely fit into it. Little room between sink and door. One smallish towel was provided per person and one of our towels had a hole in it. The toilet seat was awful. Neither the lid or the seat would stay up. Really awkward for males. Not even plastic glasses were provided in the room, so you couldn’t have a drink of water. Bar was ok but very expensive. Restaurant is a shipping container in the back yard. No doubt very cool and all that but its facilities were meagre. We ordered 2 pizzas and were warned it could be a 50 minute wait. We decided that was just about acceptable. However it took 1.5 hours to deliver our order! It might be funky and all that but it was very, very slow. In fact really poor. Staff friendly, with good English spoken throughout. Parking plentiful and it felt secure. The hotel is too far from the city centre to be convenient. We walked in twice and whilst quite a pleasant walk it is about 40 minutes. There were no shops or restaurants within easy walking distance. It wasn’t exactly cheap but OK. Overall average.

The location was very convenient for train travelling. I arrived next door at Lille Europe and continued the next day to Lille Flandres station. Walked to both. The hotel is also working a very nice walk to city centre. Very safe and lively walk. The Westfield shopping mall is nearby so shopping is made easy. Large mini suite. My son travelled with me so we had the small bed made out, but still had plenty of room. Only thing are that the bathroom and toilet room seem prefabricated and are kind of wonky (though very functional. My son felt they felt as if we were in a train bathroom. All and all, very nice. *we did not eat at the cafeteria (it is not a restaurant, really).

We stayed at this hotel twice: in December 2022 and in February 2024. The location might not be the most obvious (however, it takes about 8 minutes of leisurely walk to both metro stations in between which the hotel is located). The location on its own is a little bit outside of the city centre, however, you get from this hotel to the city centre rather quickly. There's a shopping centre next door, which takes half of the distance to the nearest metro station. The hotel is relatively new (I think when we were there in 2022 it just opened), therefore most things are still in a very decent shape. Both times when we stayed at this hotel, we observed that it was sparkling clean. The size of the rooms is also large by French standards, and the rooms are fairly well-equipped. The only 2 pieces of criticism that we could offer would be to replace paper cups with porcelain cups in the room (if possible) and ensure that the soap is replenished (we got a refill bottle at reception, but it would've been so much less hassle if the hotel would've put it in advance). The WiFi works well. We didn't try any breakfast at this hotel, as on both occasions we had planned brunches with friends, however. judging by the price and the looks of it as we were passing by, it would be a good value.
