Ibis Lille Centre Grand Palais

Ibis Lille Centre Grand Palais

Lille City Center Lille|0.93km from Natural History Museum
We stayed here one night when we needed rescuing last minute due to the train strike. Usual clean, comfortable Ibis hotel, always good for a short city break, however avoid room 105, the wifi was shocking (ibis generally have good wifi as I have stayed in a few) and I called it a little prison cell, as the only window was up by the ceiling less than a foot long, had I been staying more than one night I would have asked for a new room. Natural light was poor. But it was clean and comfortable, general Ibis standards and good for a short stay. It’s across the road from Westfield shopping centre, and an easier walk from the station if you cut through the shopping centre, google maps took us the long way around. It was a good 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town, nice Christmas markets, and no restaurants within easy walking distance, unless you like the food courts in Westfield. Staff were friendly. My gripe is the check in! We arrived at the same time as a massive coach party, who’s tour guide made all his approx. 50 guests congregate around the small check in area whilst he called out their names and handed out their keys! They have a huge seating area to the rear, I’m not sure why the tour guide didn’t move his 50 guests to that area as he shouted out each individuals name and handed them their keys. We had to weave through all these guests to do our check in over his hollering.

Moulins Lille|0.71km from Natural History Museum
The area which the hotel is located in is an interesting mixture of part run down and part brand new buildings. The nearest underground station is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel building itself is nice, especially the inside bit. Staff are friendly. (Comfort) room is small but well equipped, there’s even a coffee machine for your convenience. One evening there was a very putrid smell lingering on for a few hours, that wasn’t so nice. There was one big issue though. By check in they looked me dead in the eye and told me that there would be no housekeeping whatsoever. Niks. Nada. Nothing at all. Apparently that’s a directive from the French government (!?) because of COVID you see. Now I found nothing about said directive online and I have not experienced such thing in hotels as recently as last week; what I did find was that it is now Best Western’s very own policy these days. (So aforesaid excuse sounds very much like corporate bs to me.) Now I don’t know about you, but under the current circumstances I hoped they’d ramp up their cleaning policies instead of abandoning them completely. I hope they did find a way to clean the room after the previous guest before me, all they have to do is implement that process on a daily basis. If I wanted to take down garbage and make up the bed myself, I wouldn’t pay top dollar for a hotel room. Doctors and nurses must find a way to keep themselves and us safe in a much more exposed environment so a hotel should find a way too, especially because their business is depending on the cash we guests bring in.

Lille City Hotel

Lille City Center
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.

Great little find in central Lille. Good spaced and clean rooms with comfy beds. Staff were friendly and were very accommodating when we arrived early. Generous check out time and luggage store available.
Appart'City Confort Lille Grand Palais

I prepared a review after our stay in room 127, 15/8/22, but due to its content, I waited for a response from the hotel itself. While being promised that action will be taken, I am not entirely convinced so will leave it up to you to decide whether or not you want to stay here... My children and I were covered in approx 50 bed bug bites each. All down our arms and legs and on my daughter's face. We did not realise until later in the afternoon, but the psychological trauma of the thought of bed bugs crawling all over us while we slept has been terrible. Disgusting and made us feel sick. Our bites were painful and will take weeks to heal. In the height of summer, we had to cover up our arms and not tell anyone we had bed bugs bites because of the embarrassment that would cause us. I washed everything and ourselves as soon as we got home, and spent sleepless nights with a magnifying glass looking for bugs. I bought mattress encasements for our beds and sprayed insecticide, hoovered everything in all creases and folds on the mattresses and beds. Like a woman paranoid of bed bugs being brought home from France. The response from the hotel when I informed them was basically 1. well no one else has complained, 2. but they will attend to it and 3. bed bugs can appear in clean hotels so it is not a sign if uncleanliness. You decide if you want to stay here. I think any bad reviews are removed. The reviews I did manage to find are quite old, 2018 and 2019, which also mentioned bed bugs. Should have read those before I booked as it has obviously been a problem for the hotel for a while. Shame as the rooms were well laid out and it was quiet. But there is no care and attention to cleanliness apart from a quick change of sheets and towels. The sofa bed was broken too. We certainly will not be staying there again.
Hotel de La Paix
4/553 Reviews
Lille City Center
Location is good, near the Lille Flandres station. Also near a collapsed building, which is a little scary, but was not a problem during our stay. Hotel is beautiful & clean, although each room has a different layout, so quality may vary a bit. Concierge is very nice, but is not always guarding the front desk. Biggest problem is the hotel is infested with mosquitoes & has no air conditioning. My room also didn't have any outlets near the bed, making it difficult to plug in my phone or fans.
Ibis Lille Centre Gares
3.9/548 Reviews
Lille City Center
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.
Hotel Kanaï
4.1/559 Reviews
Lille City Center
A great stay at the Kanai Hotel, ideally located, where the reception is very human and warm: From the arrival, given our luggage and the duration of our stay, the manager offered us a room at the first floor, rather than at the 4th floor, initially planned. What we appreciated. Breakfast is perfect. And the team is really careful to the customers, with smile. Thanks to everyone!
