B&B HOTEL Lille Centre Grand Palais in Lille

Perfect location for a short stay in Lille. Easy access to a few restaurants and a bus stop going into town. In walking distance of the Grand Palais and Zenith (why we chose this one). Kind and helpful reception desk employees. Rooms are not big but sufficient for a short stay. Parking garage in the building, which is nice too. We would return, especially if we needed to go to Grand Palais or Zenith!

very convenient

The room was spacious, good for a family, but the mattress creaked loudly when we turned over.

The room was great value for money with the staff being so hospitable and provided an amazing service, catering for our request of extra pillows and luggage storage (departure day) without hesitation.

Would happily stay here again!

Location-wise, we knew before we booked that there would be plenty of walking required to get into the old town. That was fine as we were on a sight seeing trip anyway. It's not an unpleasant area to walk through as you walk through the neighbouring parts which are mostly residential and part business.

In general the stay was okay and acceptable, but plenty of small niggles. I have stayed in 2 of these hotels from this chain in Germany and they were both of a higher standard.

The room was quite tired and dated with the hotel costing £300 for 3 nights.

There were mosquitos on the last two nights (slightly weird in November) and we both got badly bitten overnight. Not really the hotels fault, but some bug nets or zappers in the room would have been useful. Perhaps as the hotel is covered in plants and creepers for disguise, it attracts more insects.

It was 2 months since booking and the email confirmations (2) didn't mention we had paid for breakfast so we had to login to the website and search out our booking to confirm we definitely had it, after the reception desk person mentioned we did indeed have it paid for.

At breakfast, there was a toaster, but no sliced bread to toast! I had to cut up slices of the baguette which was too small for the toaster and then couldn't be retrieved safely without putting fingers or something to grab it like metal tongues into the toaster.

Very small bathroom in the room. Shower door didn't fit the gap. The gap was probably 10cm or more. It wasnt too bad if aiming the shower head slightly at the other wall away from the gap. Very little storage or room to hang towels. One toilet roll had been submerged in water. Good shower pressure, but shower head leaked after use, causing a dripping noise. Sink tap was awkwardly placed and hard to get hands under.

The light switch wiring in the room was totally bonkers. It was a room that sleeps 4 people; one double, two singles. The switches next the double bed were the "master" switches overriding and leaving the switches next to the two single beds (for their side lights) useless on their own. So someone sleeping in the double bed switching off the lights meant that whoever tries to get into one of the single beds after this has to do it in the dark or by torch light or the light of the bathroom light. I imagine they had a family of 4 in mind when they wired this up, but slightly annoying in other scenarios.

Nice staff, very friendly. Clean and comfortable room. 20 min walking from city center.

We stayed one night at B&B Hotel Lille and found the location very convenient — close enough to walk to the city centre. The room was compact but comfortable, with a cosy bed and thoughtful touches, ideal for a short stay.

Nice and clean hotel, very close to center, with cheap and secured parking.
