We stayed here for one night after an overnight drive to the channel tunnel and a visit to the Commonwealth graves in Belgium. All we wanted was a warm welcome, a good meal, a comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast. The hotel did not let us down! There is ample secure parking at the back of the hotel and a decent bar area for tired travelers looking for a drink while they play cards!

“Very, very nice for an Ibis”

we stayed on our journey back to England, mid September. the price was 87 Euros including a very nice breakfast, as an Accor member.

Ideal hotel if you do not wish to go to the town. didn't eat in the restaurant, so can not comment.

“Modern with typical expensive French accommodation”

We were looking for an Accor hotel late in the day for a stop over that was not too far from Calais for our trip back to the UK the next day.

We were looking for an Accor hotel late in the day for a stop over that was not too far from Calais for our trip back to the UK the next day. Looking for in or around Lille , with good secure outdoor parking for our high top VW camper, that accepts pets, and has a restaurant. This was the only hotel that came up on our search. Very modern hotel , the lady who checked us in and out was lovely attempting her broken English which we were very grateful for. The dogs cost 10€ each we have two small Jack Russells. The room for a Thursday night in January was 137€ roughly for two people, this included breakfast whether you wanted it or not! We found the bar and restaurant to be very expensive 10€ for a large beer on tap, understand paying this in some cities for the surroundings but not in an Ibis Styles!! The staff were over stretched we found we were having to wait at the bar for drinks, the receptionist was having to come and serve drinks. Not good having to wait with the price they were charging! Beware the room walls are very thin we were in room 26 and next door we could hear the man what seemed like he was shouting in to his phone (after 11pm) we were tired full of food and needed sleep, so my partner popped to the reception to inform them, nothing was done so he went back thinking possibly the receptionist had not understood him. Finally there was a knock next door and the shouting stopped!! The restaurant had a good choice of food, we ordered from the 3 course menu, very good value for the quality of food we really enjoyed our meal. The breakfast was a help yourself buffet with ham cheese , bread, cakes, cereals, eggs, yoghurts tea coffee and juice. All of which were stale and had been out all morning! This was of low quality compared to the restaurant food and disappointing. Shower was fine good flow of water, the bed creaked when you moved and had a memory foam mattress topper which made us sweat as it wrapped around your body ( how many other people have sweated in it yak!!!) This hotel is for business men and women who are charging out to their work! It’s expensive for a 1 night stop over for a tourist.

“Disappointing lack of airconditioning.”

The building and facilities were good. The staff were excellent. The bar was open but dinner was down to two choices; Chicken or beef. The breakfast was fine, though not up to the usual Styles standards. Difficult times! Apparently only the smaller rooms on the top floor are airconditioned. We had a hot night on the first floor. We were offered a move but having unpacked and being tired, we declined. I wish we had!
