Not a typical hostel

A private room with private bathroom was booked over a few weekdays. We saw a "present" in the toilet and trash already in the bathroom trash upon arrival, but the rest of the room including floor was clean (It looked like someone sat on the bed though). The rest of the stay was great with peaceful evenings, good sleep, clean/fast elevator. The top floor of the building was quieter than a hotel even with lively bar area downstairs, so people who want noise can have noise, and also people who want quiet can have quiet. Breakfast was satisfying (not donuts) and replenished when needed. Location was within one mile of a major train station/bus depot, stores/supermarkets, parks/cathedrals, restaurants/bars. Staff happy to speak English. Stay was pleasant.

A good vibe in the bar area in the evening. Noise from bar area not noticeable in our rooms. Great staff, decent self catering facilities if required. We stayed in the villa room, my wife and I downstairs, 3 adult kids upstairs. The bathroom is ensuite with our room but not a problem, shared bathrooms for communal use are 30s walk from the room.. The worst thing for us was the cold: the central heating for the room and the living space wasn't working, not good for late January.

I liked the area which is a monument of France and the nearby park, I didn't like the fact of not being able to see the Roland Garros because they don't have a TV. Also Breakfast did not seem that appealing for the price. There was no clarity as to where the C10 could be found, the exits of the Gare are multiple. It would help if it was described as on the same pavement as the Lille Europa station.

Location was good right in the city center and across from a really good bakery. We had a single room and had to share the bathroom with the entire floor. There should have been more bathrooms per floor. Only one bathroom for the floor was not enough. Bathroom was ok but was plugged in the middle on the night when we went to go use it. Room was quite and comfortable. It is good if you are staying for 1 - 2 nights but it may not be good if staying any longer than that.
