“Very pleasant break”
Hotel was very suprising on our arrival, our room which was for two adults and one child, was spacious and comfortable. The bed was gigantic and extremly comfortable. The bar was very pleasant, but seem to be a occupied by conference people rather than hotel guests, still very nice. Hotel location was about a ten minute walk from town centre, this made the hotel very quiet and peacful of an evening. Would look forward to going back. Overall the hotel was extremly nice with pleasant staff.
“Beaucoup de classe à Lille”
Très beau décor. Bel emplacement . Parking facile ce qui est rare à Lille. Personnel efficace et très aimable. Excellents petits déjeuners. Salles de bains un peu vieillottes .... Quel plaisir que de se retrouver au milieu de cet ancien cloître.... Petit problème : améliorer la description de l' accès . Faire sur internet un plan d'accès facile. Hôtel à recommander dans cette ville merveilleuse à recommander également...
“Perfect for a chilled break”
Lovely hotel just a few minutes walk from town centre. In a lovely quiet part of town. Didn't eat in restaurant but menu looked good if a little expensive. Coffee and cognac in bar after night out in Lille were expensive but the bar has a great laid back feel so worth the cost. Would stay again, was impressed with both hotel and Lille.
“Unusual hotel very close to the City Centre”
A great hotel for a short break - really nice conversion of a former monastery with a great bar and excellent buffet breakfast. Within 10 minutes easy walk of the main square and even closer to the boutique shops of the old town. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.
“le meilleur de lille”
super-top
“Good service, great breakfast, interesting building restoration”
This hotel is a little out of the way, but since we arrived in the middle of the Braderie (the annual flea-market), we were very pleased with this pick. The restoration of the old convent building makes this an interesting place to stay, and the breakfast buffet was first-class. The friendliness and service from the staff was also top-notch. Internet charges are a bit steep. It is about a 15 minute cab ride from Lille Europe station or a long slog through the pedestrian areas of town.
“we loved Lille”
well located hotel,easy to walk to from euro star station.staff very friendly and helpful.glass covered court yard makes a beautiful restaurant/seated area.will definately stay at this hotel again.
“Consistently good”
Have stayed at the Couvent des Minimes on ten or more occasions over the last few years and the hotel never fails to please. Rooms are comfortable, service is friendly and efficient and breakfast buffet is excellent. Thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay within five minutes walk of Lille's old town and major shops.
“Très bonne hôtel de charme.”
nous avons très bien aimé, très accueillant; nous n'avions pas une superbe vue vers l'extérieure mais le décor intérieur nous a fait oublier ce détail; Très bon petit déjeuner mais pas assez aéré; peut-être cher pour ce que c'est;
“tres bon hotel”
chambre accueillante, site magnifique, 5 minutes à pied du centre, sejour très satisfaisant
