Top Business Hotels in Nord-Pas-de-Calais

The hotel is excellently located opposite the main train station where the Eurostar arrived. The area was very quiet and also within walking distance to pretty much everything we needed to see so we walked everywhere and never needed public transport. The lobby of the hotel is cosy and very welcoming and the people at reception were friendly and very accommodating. The room was nice and the beds very comfortable. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel so cannot comment on that but we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

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

The first thing we noticed was the friendly and helpful staff, which remained consistent throughout our stay. Every request was met with a helpful and positive response. The rooms look very modern in photos, and give a false impression that the hotel is very new. In fact, it is not new at all, as is evident from the ugly external doors of the rooms. However, the interiors of the rooms, including the bathrooms, have been refurbished very well. The only shortcomings are the very small double beds and the lack of power sockets on one side of the bed - whoever designed it presumably believes that only one person in a couple has a smartphone and smartwatch? The breakfast was one of the most disappointing in any hotel I’ve stayed in for a long time. At least it was included in the room price, as I would have been very unhappy if I had paid extra for it. There were two types of cheese, one or two types of meat and some croissants. As a comparison, the Holiday Inn in Calais has at least five times as much choice for breakfast. The location of the hotel is good, being quite central, but some other hotels are more central and closer to the more lively areas. If you have a car, then it's quite easy to find on-street parking spaces close to the Holiday Inn because it's not too central.

I must admit - seeing some less than stellar reviews, I came very close to canceling my reservation and going with another hotel. I am glad I did not. Honestly, I am not sure why there are complaints as if everyone is perfect. The hotel is great! Beds comfortable, showers clean, views beautiful. AC works nicely. Any time I asked for help - Ambre and Nicolas were super helpful. Whether changing my room due to proximity to the elevators, to just simple reservation help in the city - they did above and beyond. And every day greeted me with a polite smile. What else can one ask for? Meals - breakfast and dinner buffet is very nice, with wide variety of food. For those complaining, my recommendation - there is SO MANY DIFFERENT CHOICES! Do not concentrate on a few you did not like, concentrate on ones you did. After all, this is what buffets are about, right? CHOICES!. They even have Big Green Egg, and they smoke delicious meat on it, from sausages to salmon! Location - a great location, close to train station and walking distance to museums, park, old city. Room Cleaning - sometimes I would leave my ”Do Not Disturb” sign a bit longer. And they would still clean the room, and would not forget the turndown service - putting chocolate on a pillow, closing curtains. Loved it. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you guys! Will definitely come back. I hope I get my 917 :)

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.

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.
