Hotel De La Paix, Lille (France) - Deals & Reviews

Room was spotless. Excellent location for sightseeing and shopping. Walking distance to all the main sights and shops including Euralille. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very quiet room.

Breakfast is poor value and the room didn't have tea/coffee making facilities.

The hotel is situated close to the old town and pedestrian area, so great for sightseeing. The Grand Place and Tourist Office are conveniently close. It is a 10 minute walk from Lille Flandres Station and not much further from Lille Europe, so walking is worth considering, as the taxis get caught up in a nightmare of traffic and one-way systems. Our room (No. 101) was comfortable, spacious and well furnished, including a fridge/mini-bar which was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and served in a pleasant room, though I would always prefer a pavement cafe to start the day.

No air conditioning in the room - though I believe there was in the public areas. We were in a heatwave at the time, so this was an issue. The road at the front of the hotel is unbelievably noisy, so opening the window caused more problems. Also, there is a real problem with mosquitoes; we were both badly bitten on the first night and bought a repellent spray - only to later find one already in the bathroom (either provided by the hotel or a previous occupant?) Even this didn't solve the problem entirely, so best to be prepared!

the location close to the station and quite in the centre of town ; the style of the hotel, which is not one in a dozen

The hotel is within walking distance of the Grande Place so really close to all the shops. I really liked the stairs and the olde worlde feel, whilst surrounded by modern comforts.

Warm welcome. Clean, comfortable and warm room. Location close to city centre and Grand Palais.

Mosquito bits whilst in room at night

The location was ideal for a Tourist - a good mix of fine restaurants nearby. Good front window outlook on quiet street.

Lovely decor, centrally located, polite staff

central and convenient, helpful staff, confortable

I've been staying at this hotel since 1991, and I like the way it has retained its character in spite of being considerably up-graded over the years. The bar is a good addition. I like the mesh on the windows - there is a problem with mosquitoes in Lille. Reception staff are always welcoming - a real Ch'ti welcome, not a plastic American smile.

Bed was too soft. No catch on the window to allow us to leave it slightly open for air.

The hotel was about a 3-4 minute walk from Lille Flandres train station and 2 mins away from the main square and Place Rihour. The prints all over the room and hotel walls were great. Reception and house-keeping were excellent. The room was spacious and the free wi-fi was a bonus. The receptionist kindly brought up an electric fan when asked (fair to say that otherwise, a move to an air-conditioned hotel elsewhere would have occurred).

The hairdryer was non-functional. Also there was no shower-curtain or screen around the bath-tub, so the bathroom floor ended up fairly wet.

Great ambience- all very friendly and helpful on the front desk. Liked the room - good size, good level of cleanliness, lots of windows,fresh air and light. Hotel in great position. Good value for money.

Comfortable room, spacious bathroom, good interior of hotel, good location (near to train, and to centre)

Would like more choice for breakfast, especially moesli, and fruit.

Surprisingly big room, rich breakfast

No curtain in the bathtub, espresso coffee is very bad.

Rooms clean and well furnished The slightly small rooms offset by big airy landings full of lovely paintings

Very clean staff very helpful ambiance of rooms themed after artists
