Should be better

this 4 stars hotel needs better maintenance. we checked in our room and found out that the refrigerator was not working,the toilet flush was malfunctioning,the carpet in the room was spotted.this was fixed the next day (exept the carpet that need to be changed). The location of the hotel is excellent especially for the Lille brocante. Concerning the service,we forgot somethung in the room and called the hotel to tell them to check the room,they said that they would check,they never got back to us

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure all of my needs were taken care of. The food at the hotel was also amazing - I couldn't get enough of the delicious meals they served. I will definitely be returning to this hotel in the future. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Adnan, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid. Misleading advertising.

No air con even though their website states ALL rooms have it. Airless room with no ventilation. 27° overnight. Asked for refund so we could move to another hotel. Refused. Moved on 2nd night into disabled room. Shower didn't work and on opening the curtains, the curtain rail fell down. Reading reviews generally, the air con is complained about alot but they are doing nothing to rectify this issue. 1st member of staff was useless and kept promising to come back to us with a solution but didn't bother. 2nd member of staff (Samuel) did what he could to help but ultimately there were no solutions in this awful hotel.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel that was BETTER than the photos? Neither had I... until I stayed here. It's stunning inside and out. Large,spacious bedroom with a comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast. Fab area to explore Lille a pied.

8/10 Very good

Convenient location

Perfectly situated to access dining, retail or outdoor areas. Having seating in the room made it more comfortable to relax between activities. Very spacious room. 1st and 2nd floor carpets and facade looked new and fresh, 3rd floor was dinghy looking with stained carpet and lighting on/off along corridor making it dark.

Lovely building. Some rooms a little dark. Not all rooms have air con.

4/10 Fair

A neglected two star for the price of four.

The hotel opened 33 years ago and it shows. It’s like time had stopped. Everything is tired and rundown, the floor carpet in the worst condition I have ever seen, the whole architecture concept old fashioned to say the least. All for the price of a four star that the hotel still claims to be. Just avoid it until they renovate it (construction to start next year, they told me). For info: parking overnight costs 21 euros (which we were not properly informed about at arrival).
Riccardo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible time in Lille

Firstly, my room had no air conditioning in August. I asked for a fan and was promised one, but it never arrived. My room was on the ground level facing a parking lot, so I could not leave the window open at night. As a result, my sleep was very limited. Secondly, the desk clerk gave a key to my room to some couple at 11pm one night, so they walked into my room when I wasn't dressed. Finally, the desk clerk promised to compensate me for my terrible experience and I never heard from the hotel.
Matt, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very poorly maintained rooms no manage my on site

I cannot understand the positive reviews for this hotel. I paid for an upgraded deluxe room which was around £60 more than rooms in the other 4 star properties in Lille. Sadly despite being moved by a very accommodating-but embarrassed receptionist the rooms were dated, poorly maintained and cleaned - two different beds are in my images. I had no choice due to logistics but to stay. No manager available all weekend. It then took a week to respond to my complaint. Eventually an offer of a refund but a week later Hotels.com have still not had this authorised by the hotel. I now know that the hotel is due a full refurb. It so needs it. The carpets in common areas, like the bedrooms, are all stained. Basic maintenance has not been carried out and to have chairs as battered as they were shows a very badly run hotel. As a business owner I know that some customers use reviews as a weapon which is why I have taken 2 weeks to post this review to see if the management could resolve it speedily. Sadly not! How can a large hotel never have a manager available for Expedia to resolve an issue?
