Hotels Near SKEMA Business School - Lille in Lille

Book this hotel because we had a train at 6am and it was next to the station. We had an issue because we booked for 4 persons (2 adults and 2 kids). But at the hotel, they says we only booked for 2 adults and they asked us to pay additionnal fee for extra people. The issue was between the booking platform and the hotel. I don't know how but somehow the commnication between them was incorrect. And it was to the customer to pay again because of the mistake between them. And the hotel was telling us that we were cheating, trying to go with 4 people and paying for 2 which was wrong.

This is our second time staying at a Formula One Hotel. We found the Lille Métropole to be clean, the area surrounding the hotel felt safe even at night and access into the centre of Lille was simple as the metro was only a 5 mins walk away from the hotel, we also found the staff to be friendly, the breakfast box to be good value and enjoyable and the free secure gated parking was an added benefit. We will definitely look to stay at this particular hotel again.

Before arriving I asked for a disability room, which I was informed they were all booked up, so asked for ground floor room Instead as my dad who I was travelling with struggles with steps. This was declined and we were given a room on the top floor (no lift at the hotel). Once up stairs we opened to door to what could only be described as the smell of stale cigarette smoke, that someone had lived there and smoked 50 a day in the room. The smell was horrific. With the Door and window left open, it helped but the smell was still there. The room is very basic, and the bathroom you can just about turn around in. The fan in the bathroom didn't work leaving it very stuffy, and thats before you turned the water on. There was no bath mat provided, resulting in the bathroom floor becoming very slippery ( not great for my dad who is already unsteady on his feet). The matteress on the double bed had multiple stains (from what I wouldn't want to guess). The light above the bunk bed didn't work. Upon waking up in our cigerette smelly room, went down to breakfast, which was extremely basic! There was only bread products available, 4 waiting for a 2slice toaster, which even after 4 minutes came out not toasted. There was no plates for any of the products meaning, if you wanted toast, you had to butter it on the tray or in a cereal bowl. Only reason we stayed here for the whole two nights booked was everywhere was booked up and staying for the rugby world cup, otherwise would have booked and gone else where.

The hotel offers free on site parking in their underground car park which was a huge bonus as we’d travelled with car via the euro tunnel. Lille is easily accesssible from the bus stop opposite for €2 each way, just catch the L5. The rooms are a good size, clean and quiet. Furnishings look quite new and rooms provide tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast is all very tasty; a small hot selection of scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon. The continental choices of breads and pastries were very fresh. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly, offering some assistance to us when needing advice on how to travel to Stade Pierre Maroy at night.

Stayed here for a one night stop over on the way to Italy. The room was fine, all be it basic. The bathroom was lovely, newly refurbished but the separate toilet didn’t seem to have been. Plenty of parking. The pool was quite small, much smaller than we thought it looked from the pictures. There was lots of outdoor space for children to run off some energy although maybe a small park would make a difference here. The room had a strange damp smell and there was multiple flies we had to chase out when we arrived. Also asked for some additional pillows and were told the limit was 4 per room so we didn’t have the most comfortable sleep. All in all, good for a one night stop over.

Great hotel, great welcome, not far from all amenities, very responsive

Very good one night stay. Comfy bed. Good shower. Clean room. Online check in meant I could park the car after a long journey and walk straight into my room. The only downside was the air conditioning only pumped out hot air and the WiFi connected but the page to log in would not load, so no WiFi for my stay.

We stopped for 1 night after watching Olympic basketball in Lille before heading to Paris. Great location off the road down to Paris but no noise from the road. Lovely hotel with outdoor pool, beautiful grounds, boules, ping pong, mini football pitch and kids area inside with a little library and table football. Restaurant looked and smelt great. Short 4 minute walk to a huge shopping centre with slides for kids. A big Auchun supermarket and climbing activities (extra charge). Other restaurants nearby and a petrol station. Would happily have stayed longer and return again. 2x electric charging points for cars, free cold water station which was very welcome, comfortable and quiet bed and room and WiFi throughout.

We stay here on regular basis since hotel opening and it was always in a suite, This time it was not available to book so we went for „business suite” thinking that apart from big conference table, everything will be the same. It has really akward layout - toilet is by the front door, then there is long walk to the bedroom where there is a bathroom - it is narrow and only with a shower, not bathtub - sorry I expect both in the suite, just like it is in the one we were staying before. There is a table with 8 chairs, seemingly for the business meetings but there are no sockets nearby at all, except by the kitchenette. Additionally wifi is very poor, My husband went on the important work call and has been disconnected. Phone signal is inconsistent - from E, to 3G to 4G at times. If hotel calls it business suite - it is misleading as it does not have basic business facilities. I would pass the comments by the checkout but receptionist did not ask me how my stay was. She just took the payment without saying much. Since we had this big table we thought we may just as well use it and order room service. You can only do it from 6 pm and 25 euros per burger is pricey but we went for it as there is nothing nearby. We end up bringing it to the suite ourselves. Food was of good quality. We also got 2 drinks for platinum member voucher. Mixed feelings this time.

I booked the IBIS in Bethune as I wanted a base to aim for driving from Calais before travelling down through France and what a pleasant surprise the IBIS turned out to be. I had a warm welcome on arrival and the hotel was clean and modern. The room was also modern and clean with a grey toned patterned carpet, a double bed and the usual table, chair, wardrobe, shower room which the IBIS have. It was the usual budget room but was clean and comfortable. There was a tasty breakfast which had a good choice of breakfast food and pastries. Great hotel and would be happy to stay there again.
