There is no priority for the hotel guests to have dinner. Had to stay in a row for more than 30/40 min.
Food was not tasty. Served cold…
4.1
Excellent location, very nice place, non-existent service... no friendliness or interaction between the staff and the customers
4.1
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.

We booked 3 rooms for two nights, however after checking in, they only gave us one room with air-con, the other two has only a fan in it. It stated the hotel has air-con and we were really disappointed, especially it’s in the hot summer time. When we ask if they could change for us for rooms with air-con, they said they were fully booked and refused to change.
We finally decided to stay only one night and check out on the next morning.
This is your responsibility to state the real situation of your rooms, don’t just put air-con in hotel details if you are not able to provide it.
Generally this is an experience with disappointment.
4.1
No wonder Frauline Maria ditched the abbey for the villa! This convent turned hotel has a gorgeous entry way and restaurant/bar area. However, the room is dreary and dated. The area that surrounds the hotel is safe and has lots of brewery/restaurant/shopping options. It is a 15 minute walk to the train station, easy to navigate.
4.1
Stayed for the olympics.
Blaise.at the frony desk was very helpful.
Rooms needed some air conditioing
4.1
Hotel is very tired
We were in rooms not on the central courtyard shown in all the pictures.
There is no Air-con in the rooms or most of the hotel which was hard when it was 32 degrees.
The window blind was in pieces on the window cill
The tv kept retuning every 15 minutes so was unusable.
The bath plug was stuck so could not drain the shower
The shower screen leaked all across the bathroom floor
The shower head was old and didn’t work properly
I reported the above issues to reception when we checked out but no note of issues was recorded
The carpet room had a large numbers of holes in it and peeling wallpaper, it’s very tired Room 322
We booked two rooms but we were given room as far away from each other as was possible on different floors
The central bar/restaurant has no air-con so was almost unusable with the recent weather
This is not a 4 Star Hotel it’s a 3 Star at best that needs investment
Well placed in Lille but I’m embarrassed I chose it!
4.1
This is an “Ok” hotel, breakfast isn’t the best. Overall, just an average hotel.
4.1
The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly and speak English. Excellent parking space. Only a 10 to 15 min. walk from the city center. Beautiful surroundings near the hotel. Nice, clean room and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended for a city trip.

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.

Great location and service. A bit dated and toilet requires a bit more cleaning. Otherwise very good breakfast and ambience
4.1
Nice atmosphere, great location 10 min. walkcentre. And parking when you are on time.
We had a twin room quite spacious on the 3rd floor. Only when opening windows for fresh air at night music comes up the atrium. And note: bathtub was very high getting in for a shower. Hotel should mention this by booking! We had no problem but older people...And there is a safety handel missing in the bath to hold when you get out it is bit unsafe.
4.1

4.1
Super hotel, friendly & helpful staff. Excellent location
4.1
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).
4.1
The hotel was ideal for a stay in Lille
4.1
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?
4.1
The hotel is conveniently located. It is very close to the historic Citadel, now a large park with a zoo and amusement park, and fantastic for walks and runs.
The hotel is a short walk to the centre of Lille and about a 20 mins leisurely walk from the Eurostar station.
The hotel has been modernised. The rooms are clean and welcoming and very quiet. The bar served a good range of alocollic and non-alcoholic cocktails and drinks. Breakfast was included in our booking and there was a good variety.
We found the staff friendly.

Beautiful hotel, with interesting history. Mix of old with modern. Very happy employees made the stay pleasant to our family.

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.

In a ancient monastery. Nice hotel, good rooms, staff is almost non existent. When we asked for a glass of water in the lobby we were told we can find one in the bar or the toilet..
4.1
Stunning building.Good breakfast with good selection of choices.Restaurant impossible for vegetarians though!
4.1
We had a great stay at the hotel. The apartment suite was spacious for a family of four. The hotel was also conveniently based with a short walk to a lovely park and also to Lille’s city centre. The breakfast was amazing and we also had good weather. I would love to be back in the near future.
4.1
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.
4.1
Great location just on the edge of the old town so able to walk everywhere. Great restoration of an historic building, good sized rooms and very clean. Wonderful champagne bar.
4.1
We checked in to the very impressive hotel after a long drive from Lyon.
When i put the card into the electricity box in the wall nothing happened.
I took it out and put it in again and there was a loud bang and a long of sparks. I gound myself on the other side of the room im literal shock!
We went straight back to receptuon who gave us the key to another room straight away. When we got to the new room it was clear that the half a bottle of complimentary water hadn't been replaced from the previous guest and there were signs of poor workmanship in the bathroom, especially in thenside panel which was left open to access plumbing.
4.1
Great location, fabulous building
4.1
The location for Couvent de Mimines was excellent. Just across the street you were able to enter the Citadel and we often walked there to have a beer on the canal boat Archimedes. The lively street cafes were a short walk towards the center of town. The staff was very accommodating and helpful to us.
