Campanile Lille Sud - CHR

The Campanile in Lille Sud is as one would expect as I have used them a number of times when playing tournaments in France or on long drives. The one thing I sometimes forget is to try for a room on the ground floor as with large bags the outside steps up to the first floor rooms can be a little awkward. Its value for money and is clean with good staff and the little restaurant areas seem always to have easy meals if you don't feel like heading off. The location means you need to use the nearby metro to get into town, which is really easy, and its about a 15/20 minute walk to any local shops, etc and you are on the edge of an industrial area so there's no nice strolling in the immediate vicinity but its safe, secure and well run with comfortable rooms and good wifi.

Cozy and simple. Good for the value. Beds are clean and comfortable. Room service clean and change sheets and towels every day without asking.

We loved being so close to the motorway although the access to the hotel from our direction of travel is a bit scary, you have to cross a very busy junction and then get into the correct lane very quickly but thankfully it was quiet when we arrived. The room was better than most budget hotels. The receptionist was great, letting me prattle on in bad French but reverting to English with a smile when I got stumped!

Each staff from the arrival to the departure, helped in many ways to lessen our sadness as we came to attend a funeral. We remember the server who kindly brought breads to comfort us, that we thanked personally only at the end of our dinner when we realized it.

Good affordable accommodation. 15 min. with the bus from Lille Flandres Station. Looks more like a an apartment complex than an hotel. The room had all the basics I needed.
