Novotel Lille Aeroport

“Novotel Lille Airport - ok, but look at other options”

stayed here 1 night during a WWII tour. Room was ok, and the breakfast/dinner buffet options were average. Could be that ordering off the menu would have been better but no English menus were available and we didn't have access to a translator to quickly make decisions (Google and Apple translate a… more

stayed here 1 night during a WWII tour. Room was ok, and the breakfast/dinner buffet options were average. Could be that ordering off the menu would have been better but no English menus were available and we didn't have access to a translator to quickly make decisions (Google and Apple translate are good but when you're trying to make a quick decision it's tough to go over the entire menu - could have been operator error too...). I would say the staff at the front-desk was very nice, but the staff at the restaurant seemed put out with trying to field questions from our group. They probably knew that 35 of us were going to be there on this tour, and all were Americans, so it may have been a good idea to have someone who could bridge the language-barrier gap, but that wasn't the case. Seemed like we got sideways looks when asking for unreasonable items like katsup and salt/pepper, but could have just been lost in translation. Not sure I'd stay here again if I were going through the area on my own.

“Smelly room, loved the breakfast”

On arrival there is plenty parking. We were warmly greeted. On arrival in our room the smell was so bad that we automatically turned around and left the room. It was a mixture of cigarette smoke and perhaps damp? It was swiftly resolved and our new room was better although it had a damp smell. I … more

On arrival there is plenty parking. We were warmly greeted. On arrival in our room the smell was so bad that we automatically turned around and left the room. It was a mixture of cigarette smoke and perhaps damp? It was swiftly resolved and our new room was better although it had a damp smell. I thought that the breakfast was brilliant. There is really something for everyone. It’s beautifully presented and tasted great. Checkout was a little strange as it took well over ten mins to check me out, although they did not explain why.

“Stayed one night in a quadruple room. Good location for attending a match at the stadium. Parking is free”

Small basic rooms. Location is okayish if you are going to the stadium or airport. Reception lady can’t speak English. Patrick at reception deserves to take 5 stars, he is helpful, fluent in English and knowledge and familiar with the area around the hotel.

“Okay for a night stopover”

Stayed here for a one night stop over on the way to Italy. The room was fine, all be it basic. The bathroom was lovely, newly refurbished but the separate toilet didn’t seem to have been. Plenty of parking. The pool was quite small, much smaller than we thought it looked from the pictures. Th… more

Stayed here for a one night stop over on the way to Italy. The room was fine, all be it basic. The bathroom was lovely, newly refurbished but the separate toilet didn’t seem to have been. Plenty of parking. The pool was quite small, much smaller than we thought it looked from the pictures. There was lots of outdoor space for children to run off some energy although maybe a small park would make a difference here. The room had a strange damp smell and there was multiple flies we had to chase out when we arrived. Also asked for some additional pillows and were told the limit was 4 per room so we didn’t have the most comfortable sleep. All in all, good for a one night stop over.
