Grand Hotel Lille

Location. Fantastic just not happy that building work going on and can not sleep very good in morning

Well located friendly staff tiny room Woken every morning to banging as the floor below was being renervated they failed to tell me this so 8.30 was bang bang bang . Should have refunded.

I used this hotel as we (3 middle aged blokes) traveled to Lille for the Rugby World Cup. I suspect if you travel at any other time you will get it significantly cheaper than we managed to but it was still reasonably priced compared to other hotels. Firstly the location is great, a 5 minute walk from the Eurostar, a 2 minute walk to the train/metro line & 2 minute walk to the city center which is full of bars & cafes. Check in was very smooth the staff were very friendly (as they were throughout the stay) & spoke in good English which was useful as my GCSE French is a long forgotten memory. You get a proper key & this can be left at reception when leaving the hotel to explore. We were on the first floor so used the stairs but there was a lift option if you needed it. The room was plenty big enough, I read other reviews saying they were small ours was fine. A double bed & a single with a small desk, plenty of space to move around. The bathroom too was plenty big enough for a weekend stay. The beds are on the small side & it was cosy sharing the double but it does advertise what size beds they offer so it’s not a complaint. The pillows are thin & even with the extras available in the room are a little uncomfortable. The bathroom is fine, we had a shower in the bath, my only complaint is that there wasn’t anywhere to attach it to the wall so you had to hold it & shower, this meant the water would spray across the whole bathroom is your aim was slightly off, we used a lot of towels just to ensure the floor was flooded. We’re all pretty heavy sleepers so didn’t hear too much noise despite being in the front of the hotel but I think it could be an issue if you’re a lighter sleeper. The plumbing is quite loud & when the room above flushed or used the shower it did sound like it was about to come through the ceiling but we didn’t spend enough time in the room for it to be a concern. Overall I think this is a good friendly hotel for those traveling on a budget in a excellent location for you to go off & explore Lille.

I do not recommend this hotel. paid parking (twenty euros a day). this hotel is not good. the room are small , clogged showers . no fruit for breakfast. no diversity at breakfast. cleaning of the rooms is not done,

we came very early and needed to go around so the lady at the desk are very helpful who let us park earlier and kept our bags safely at the reception. Thank you for being so nice to us. when we came back the man at the reception probably saw us looking very tired and he let us go straight to the rooms and said we can settle the tax fee in the morning instead and helped us with the parking again. Thank you so much!

We stayed 2 nights at the Grand Hotel Lille, and can't really fault it! It's 12 minutes walk from Lille Europe station, and 5 minutes walk from Lille Flanders station. Anything you'd want to see in Lille is within easy walking distance, and the metro station at Lille Flanders is minutes away. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent (our rate included it, but you can add it for a fee). The room was very spacious. Simple in style, but more than adequate. My only negative would be the lack of pillows. Two very thin pillows on the large bed. Otherwise, all was great!
