Everything was straight forward, and all geared to people in transition. And it worked. It is not a cozy place.

What the pictures don’t show is that, the toilet is so tiny that I couldn’t stretch out my 2 hands while inside the toilet ( and by toilet I mean the wc, the washing basin and the shower room combined ). And this tiny toilet doent even have an extraction fan inside of it so Goodluck with any smell that could get into the room. The rooms don’t have a ventilation system so you can only open the window for fresh air to come in. When I was searching for a place, I remember considering this hotel vs travel lodge and decided to save about £8 or so by going for this as the sq ft of the rooms were the same. Well that was a huge mistake for the reasons above.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. We only booked at the last minute and we were able to request a ground floor room. There is a good selection of places to have an evening meal within walking distance from the hotel, but the area around the hotel is very quiet. Everywhere was very clean and well looked after.

OK short stop for rugby, not a long term stay, but ok for the one night

For what we needed this hotel was ideal. Rooms are small and compact but no complaints at all. Affordable, clean, tidy and beds were very comfy. Served its purpose as somewhere to drop off our stuff and then come back to get our heads down. Hotel staff were a pleasure to deal with and very friendly, helped us check in early and had details to hand for local transport and taxis. Retail park the Hotel is on is absolutely loaded too, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, fast food and boulangeries galore. We drove and from Dunkirk it was about a 45 min drive. To get in to Lille was simple and easy enough, 5-10 min walk to train station, 5 mins on train and then straight on to the Metro. (Taxi back at 1 in the morning was about 40 euros from smack bang the centre of Lille.) If in Lille again we'll definitely be back and will use again.

The image in my mind when you pay approx €250 for a night is a hotel room with a little luxury. What you get is a shoebox. The doors don’t shut or close properly, the bathroom is so small you have to step out backwards because ita too tight to turn around in. The lighting is ridiculous, better to use the torch on your mobile phone to see then rely on a wall light in the corner with the luminescence of a candle. It seemed clean enough, but no wonder the hotel had some availability for the rugby world cup, I should have checked other reviews before blindly booking this disaster.

We had to check in late and we’re able to do via an automated machine outside of the hotel door. It gave us no issue and we were able to get into our room quickly. The room was clean and simple, and had everything needed for a restful night.

Bed was a bit slumped in the middle, pillows were too small and soft
