Aparthotel Adagio Lille Centre Grand Place

We really didn’t get the high ratings this hotel has gotten by so many people. Its location is brilliant and staff is helpful. Breakfast is mediocre. No fresh orange juice, croissants seem kind of old, scrambled eggs were awful, etc. The rooms are ok. A bit noisy, but that’s probably everywhere. We chose the option of a queen size bed, we got two one person bed. Let us say you probably can’t go wrong with this hotel, but we would certainly not rate this over three stars.

While it’s an apartment hotel, it’s actually not that cheap at an average 150 Euro a night. The place looks nice, recently done up and central, bit that’s as far as it goes. Breakfast is truly the worst I have come across, comparable to a one star hotel. Being in France one would expect at the very least some nice pastries. Well, forget it. Choice is one tiny pain au chocolate or one tiny croissant, both of which mediocre (similar to the packaged ones you may find in Lidl). Hardly any choice at breakfast when it comes to savoury foods either. The absolute cheapest ham (actually reconstituted ham), juice from concentrate and really bad coffee. A yoghurt or two, fruit salad made only of basic fruit (apples and pears). If you stay here DO NOT PAY for breakfast and eat elsewhere. Rooms also functional/ cheap if nice looking. Really small towels (would not be big enough to dry yourself if taller than 1.70m). Everything feels is beind done as chealy as possible. Rooms aren’t cleaned daily and they even ask you to wash your dishes before you go. I am sorry, but all this isn’t acceptable at these prices. If it cost 70/80 Euros a night, this would be ok. My advice is, stay elsewhere for much cheaper if you are a budget traveller and if not, also stay elsewhere and spend a little more. But whatever you decide do not add breakfast to your stay as it’s utterly disappointing.

A very nice, quiet hotel with friendly staff. Bedrooms well away from road so no traffic noise; excellent beds and very quiet air conditioning. A wide selection of food for breakfast and coffee machine available all day. Good communal areas both inside and out including pool table, games, electric piano etc. A somewhat ambivalent attitude to smoking in the central courtyard (no smoking signs next to the ashtrays!). We stayed during the annual braderie when Lille turns into a giant second hand market for the weekend and cars are excluded. This doubled the cost of accommodation. The event was very well managed, a massive (may be >100,000 participants?) good natured street party for families, with an impressively efficient clear up operation on the Sunday, night moving mountains of rubbish and mussel shells overnight. The hotel is in walking distance of the main attractions, being on the edge of old Lille. The Palais des Beaux-Arts and Mussee de l'Hospice de Comtesse are unmissable and the park around the citadel a beautiful place to walk. Lots of great buildings and monuments to gaze at and many good bars and restaurants, all near to hotel.

This perfectly located and immaculately clean hotel was perfect for two friends on a city break. The little kitchenette - with dishwasher is great for pre-sightseeing breakfast and the whole hotel is spotless and the team very friendly. Very reasonably priced too and we’ll located for the old town and sightseeing. Highly recommended. No parking on sight but great underground car park is just three minutes walk.

pros: Great location, very spacious apartment, a lot of light in the room, nice ambience in the lobby and common areas, service ok but nothing super wow. cons: could be a bit cleaner (although it was clean), breakfast very limited doesn't worth paying (we didn't).
