HOLIDAY INN LILLE ^{* * * *}

Hotel confortable et calme mais qui nécessite vraiment un rafraîchissement que ce soit le bâtiment, les salles de bain, la piscine....tout est défraîchi et parait sale...le petit déjeuner est vraiment bien fournit est offre un grand choix que ce soit sale ou sucré.

L’hôtel est un peu vieillissant mais les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables. Le service est de qualité et l’accueil du personnel agréable. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et assez riche en choix. Je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de dîner cette fois ci mais j’avais déjà pu tester le restaurant dans une visite précédente qui était de qualité.

The exterior of the building looks dated but the interior looks newer. It has an outdoor pool and available activities for kids to play. The front staff spoke fluent english upon our arrival and were all friendly. As it was a bank holiday, the restaurant was not open, but there are available places to eat in walking or driving distance. Our room was clean and looked newly updated, it didnt have a bath as advertised (one the reasons we booked at Holiday Inn) it had plenty of towels available, if you wanted room cleaning and breakfast this was an additional charge when checking in.

We recently stayed at this hotel on the way down to Provence as part of our honeymoon. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the interior of the hotel was very clean and tidy as was our room which was dog friendly with baby cot provided for our toddler. Breakfast was ok but i kind of got the impression it was trying to cater for a lot of different types of clientele but not really really succeeding. The continental breakfast items, croissants, pastries, etc. were fine. The hot food selection was poor and unnecessary! The scrambled eggs were disgusting and the sausages and bacon were rock solid like they had been there for days! The exterior of the hotel looked scruffy and unloved, definitely in need of a lick of paint! My 2 year old daughter was disappointed to find that the kids playground pictured on the holiday inn website (and is still there) has been ripped out and no longer exists! As i say the service in the hotel was excellent, and if Holiday Inn were to spend a few euros fixing up the place to reflect the level of service, it would be perfect. The location is great being so close to the A25 and quite a few local amenities. Would stay here again if refurbished.

Very dirty place! Broken sofa-bed! Dirty bedding! Mould smell! Avoid at all cost!
