The hotel was opposite Lens train station so ideal for the RWC trip we had. The hotel didnt open after lunch until 2pm... on the details it said 1.30pm & on the door of the hotel 1pm. The lady was very welcoming once she arrived though. Very basic room & the bed wasn't very comfortable.... our sons single bed was comfy.p

Week-end à Lens

Nous avions une chambre supérieure correcte si on est pas exigeants. La propreté laisse un peu à désirer mais ça peut passer car elle est basique ... Les parties communes ont besoin d'être plus entretenues et rénovées. Néanmoins, le personnel a été sympa et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner est bien. Je précise qu'il ne restait que des chambres dans cet hôtel ce week-end là.

Juste convenable

Juste convenable pour le prix. Draps et serviettes propres. Par contre mauvaise literie sûrement tres ancienne. Valable en dépannage pour une nuit. Hôtel apparemment en travaux mais pas d'outils ou d'ouvriers visibles. Chambres refaites mais pas tout à fait. Couloirs idem avec au sol une tres vieille moquette rouge toute tachée qui malheureusement gâche tout. Juste un portant qui ne tient pas debout pour les vêtements. Par contre problème de pommeau de douche résolu en 10 mn par le personnel ultra réactif.

Honteux !

3ème étage sans ascenseur, chaleur étouffante, grosses mouches qui tourbillonnent, porte de salle de bain qui grince (super quand on se lève la nuit) moisissures dans la douche dont les portes ne ferment pas ( une vieille brosse à dents pleine de poussière traine entre la douche et le lavabo. Pas de volet et le rideau ne masque pas la lumière du jour. Cerise sur le gâteau : sous prétexte de match de foot, impossible d'avoir un petit déjeuner. 175€ pour 2 nuits horribles : c'est de l'arnaque. A éviter absolument
