Hotels near Les Cariatides, Lille

It is a one-bedroom apartment (STUDIO), the couple have two children (six years old, three years old), the front desk refuses to check in, saying that the hotel regulations do not allow children to stay. I told each other: Before you make a reservation, carefully read your hotel policy, clearly saying that the children are welcome to stay, what is going on. The other party is very impatient. ”With a child, safety is a problem, in case of a fire.” After that, it is necessary to ask the manager and let us wait. Twenty minutes later, a person who claimed to be the person in charge came out and said that he can now stay. The attitude is very good, but there is no explanation or apology. The above is an objective description of the facts, for those who take the child to travel. Let's talk about the hotel again, the location is good, next to the train station and the large shopping mall, about ten minutes walk from the Charles de Gaulle Square, it is very convenient to eat around. However, the traffic around the people is very large, the personnel are very mixed, and it is necessary to pay special attention to safety. There are advantages and disadvantages for taking children to travel. Hotel health is not up to standard, cleaning is not clean, it is hard to imagine European standards. Hotel hardware facilities are also general. To the hotel ***agement who might have the chance to browse this comment, please double check your hotel policies on children before making it public. Simply saying we refuse you to check in because you have two kids with you seems very rude and inhu***e. Your staff cited the reason of SECURITY to refuse the check-in of children is very ridiculous, however, this is not the point. The point is that you should publicize it in advance, instead of annoucing ”all children are welcome”but when children come, you start to say ” no, you are not welcome”.

Book this hotel because we had a train at 6am and it was next to the station. We had an issue because we booked for 4 persons (2 adults and 2 kids). But at the hotel, they says we only booked for 2 adults and they asked us to pay additionnal fee for extra people. The issue was between the booking platform and the hotel. I don't know how but somehow the commnication between them was incorrect. And it was to the customer to pay again because of the mistake between them. And the hotel was telling us that we were cheating, trying to go with 4 people and paying for 2 which was wrong.

It's about 20 minutes walk from Lill Europe, but the road is bumpy, so it's not easy to drag the carrier. ... The male staff was very friendly when I went. The hostel was clean and nice. But the shower and toilet were a little lacking, and the water was slipping. The next morning, the female staff was so blunt. Good for a day or two trip.

Rooms hot and poorly ventilated. We We’re pleased it wasn’t summer! The bed was comfortable and linen clean and fresh. Bathroom was ok, but so small I could barely fit into it. Little room between sink and door. One smallish towel was provided per person and one of our towels had a hole in it. The toilet seat was awful. Neither the lid or the seat would stay up. Really awkward for males. Not even plastic glasses were provided in the room, so you couldn’t have a drink of water. Bar was ok but very expensive. Restaurant is a shipping container in the back yard. No doubt very cool and all that but its facilities were meagre. We ordered 2 pizzas and were warned it could be a 50 minute wait. We decided that was just about acceptable. However it took 1.5 hours to deliver our order! It might be funky and all that but it was very, very slow. In fact really poor. Staff friendly, with good English spoken throughout. Parking plentiful and it felt secure. The hotel is too far from the city centre to be convenient. We walked in twice and whilst quite a pleasant walk it is about 40 minutes. There were no shops or restaurants within easy walking distance. It wasn’t exactly cheap but OK. Overall average.

We stayed at this hotel twice: in December 2022 and in February 2024. The location might not be the most obvious (however, it takes about 8 minutes of leisurely walk to both metro stations in between which the hotel is located). The location on its own is a little bit outside of the city centre, however, you get from this hotel to the city centre rather quickly. There's a shopping centre next door, which takes half of the distance to the nearest metro station. The hotel is relatively new (I think when we were there in 2022 it just opened), therefore most things are still in a very decent shape. Both times when we stayed at this hotel, we observed that it was sparkling clean. The size of the rooms is also large by French standards, and the rooms are fairly well-equipped. The only 2 pieces of criticism that we could offer would be to replace paper cups with porcelain cups in the room (if possible) and ensure that the soap is replenished (we got a refill bottle at reception, but it would've been so much less hassle if the hotel would've put it in advance). The WiFi works well. We didn't try any breakfast at this hotel, as on both occasions we had planned brunches with friends, however. judging by the price and the looks of it as we were passing by, it would be a good value.

The hotel is pretty good. The price is very cheap and clean. However, transportation in this place is inconvenient, so it is no problem to drive there by yourself. The room is not big, but it is very suitable for a stopover during self-driving.

Hotel was actually quite nice, the rooms where spacious and it felt contemporary. However, the room was simply not clean. There was a lot of dust everywhere, the shower screen on the bath had scum and stains, all the silicone around the bath was yellow, there was a hair on my bed… just not clean. Also, the pillow was like a joke - a tiny this square pillow! When I entered the room and saw that I though they’d forgotten to put pillows on the bed, imagine! I called reception to ask for a different pillow and thankfully the receptionist was very kind and helpful, and she got me a much nicer one. The hotel staff was very nice (receptionists etc) but the cleanliness of the room really spoiled my stay. This is a 4* hotel, simply not acceptable.

We picked this hotel because we were going to the Champions League between Lille and Chelsea. The location was perfect. We were about 15/20 minutes walk away. We arrived and were upgraded to a studio which had a double bed and single bed in the main bedroom and a double sofa bed in the other room. It also had self catering facilities. The hotel has a very good bar, selling 3 different beers on tap, one being 8.5 % volume! It also had a good selection of spirits. Buffet breakfast is €11 each and was well worth the money. All the staff were helpful and friendly, especially the sweet man who worked in the kitchen providing a wonderful breakfast. So happy and kept everything topped up. All in all a lovely hotel which I would thoroughly recommend, especially if you are going to the Stade Pierre Mauroy for a game or going into Lille City Centre as there is a Metro station (Cite Scienfifique) which is only 15 minutes walk away.

The hotel is very friendly, but the hotel is very old, the stairs and wooden rampes are pourri, the rooms are correct but of another age, it was modern 20 years ago! When I read the post-shot comments, I saw that work was planned (February 2023 comment), but I think there is still nothing! The breakfast is correct but always with the big coffee pots ready, damage at the time when machines browse the coffee on demand Attention, the clock becomes low

Très suffisant pour un déplacement professionnel, et surtout très bon rapport qualité-prix. Pour un autre type de séjour, peut-être trop léger : décoration assez inexistante, juste le strict nécessaire. Je déplore tout de même l'absence d'un café/thé d'accueil avec la bouilloire électrique à disposition dans la chambre (seules deux doses hydroalcooliques vous attendent sur le bureau). Sinon la douche est pratique et une nouvelle fois sans esthétisme particulier. En points très positifs donc : l'emplacement immédiat gare, le calme (les trains ne s'entendent pas beaucoup), la sympathie ++ du personnel notamment au petit déjeuner (agréable de commencer la journée avec des sourires).
