While it is a beautiful building the hotel itself does not live up to his potential. While there was nothing glaringly wrong with the hotel it was just not what you would expect from a high quality hotel.
The staff was not rude though they were not overly helpful. They took the bags to the room, though when we got to stairs, they said we needed to carry them. I do not mind taking my bags at all, though if you are going to take the bags to the room, then take them all the way. Otherwise do not pseudo-take the bags to the room.
The room was spacious and quiet, which we appreciated. The bed was very comfortable.
The decor of the room was simple, well kept though old.
We have stayed in this hotel twice and both time because there are not a lot of good hotels in Lille. It is a bit off from the center of the city though no much. Next time we will try another hotel.
We would recommend that you try the hotel, though each time we were left feeling a little disappointed.
