CALM Appart' & Hostel

Very close to both train stations, walking distance. Easy to walk to the old town from the hotel.

First time i've stayed in a hostel environment since my student days. It was much improved and the sleeping arrangements are very good. Even though it is a bunk style there is plenty of room around each of the beds for any of you possessions you wish to keep near you. The curtains are good and give complete privacy with plenty of sockets for electrical appliances if you need to charge anything or just connect them. The lounge is practical and spacious and I met plenty of fellow travellers to go out for a drink with them. The place is ideally situated, being next to the main metro station, with the TGV station only 10 mins away for the trains and also long distance buses. There are also plenty of good restaurants practically next door - I particularly liked "Les 3 Brasseurs" - nice white beer and moules frittes. Seems there was a really nice take-away just selling fries in the square in front with really good size portions of really nice tasting fries. All in all I would recommend this place

A super new hotel/ appartment/ hostle facility right at the center of Lille. The place is very clean and well organized with all the necessary equipments : kitchen with microwave, stove, cooking utensils; washing and drying machine; toilet and bathroom are well kept. The bed is spaceous and comfortable. The security is at top level especially for the luggage storage. The staff are nice and hospitable. I arrived a bit later than their closing hour but they stayed to welcome me. The location is perfect : next to the metro station, the train and long distance bus station, near city center with a lot of choices for restaurants and near all tourist attractions.

The room was lovely and spacious, it looked as it did in the photos. There was a mini kitchen with a fairly big fridge. The sofa, desk and dining table were a nice touch. The location is superb - ten mins walk to all the major sights and fun areas of Lille. Also super close to the Eurostar and metro stations.

I would say that this hostel offers good value for money. I was specifically looking for a clean place near the city centre, and it met my expectations. I stayed in a large dormitory with 18 beds, most of which remained unoccupied during my stay, which was ideal. Contrary to other reviews suggesting that street noise made it difficult to sleep, I did not find it particularly disruptive. While it was somewhat noisy, this is to be expected in the city centre, especially with numerous restaurants, bars, and snack shops within 10 metres on both sides of the hostel. The two receptionists, both young and very helpful, were exceptionally friendly and kind. After checking out, I left my luggage earlier in the day and returned later after the conclusion of the conference I was attending. The young lady at the reception kindly allowed me to store my backpack alongside my other belongings. Additionally, the cleaning lady were diligent and maintained a high standard of cleanliness throughout the premises.
