    - Not much really, I guess the lift was inconsistent but not a very big deal as on first floor (although with a 6 month pregnant partner so could have been a pain otherwise! 😅) also could've done with two pillows each, as they were pretty flat.

    - Great, central location - Big room with large bed - Friendly staff - Allowed to store luggage before check in

    The outside of the hotel is a bit loud, and it can disturb your sleep as the room's windows are right on the street. The shower on the morning weren't perfectly clean.

    The price was really fair. I enjoyed the showers, and the bed was nice, and large enough to have all your stuff with you.

    Great hostel, location and facilities

    The girl at the check-in isn't friendly at all and is the only thing I didn't like about the hostel. Her attitude is very negative and she should handle guests in a better way. Also the 100 Euro deposit, this can be valid for private rooms, but not for hostel beds! I haven't seen this in a hostel in 15 years of traveling. Everything else was great.

    Love the cubes to sleep in a hostel, much better than the usual stacked beds A fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, microwave and kitchen utensils Free luggage storage EXCELLENT location, couldn't be better.

    The kitchen was essentially just an extra sink, a microwave and utensils. The coffee machine was pointless as no pods were provided, and the electric hobs didn’t work.

    Great location, good price, nice bed & shower with added bonus of a mini kitchen sink, plates, microwave & kettle. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.

    The ground floor smelled a bit weird, I think they had some issues with toilets.

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

    • Bed in 6-Bed Male Dormitory Room

    But being a basement without airco the windows were open and people outside were noisy for the best part of the night and morning. Only two toilets means a good wait time in the morning. The 100 euros deposit, I understand it but I haven't seen it in 20 years of hotels and hostels.

    Love the cubes to sleep in a hostel, much better than the usual stacked beds. Nice common area and plenty of showers. Quick reception and great to be able to enter with codes at night. Amazing location being so close to the train station...

    This could be the time of the year (August). There were many mosquitoes in the dormitory room and no repellents around. I was bitten all night. Perhaps I should have researched better re conditions in Lille.

    Staff were polite and helpful. Bathrooms were clean.

    It is not that I disliked it, but the fact that there were only three toilets for men (two in the basement and one near the reception) was somewhat surprising. In most of the hostels I have stayed at throughout Europe, there were typically more toilets available. However, given the structure of the building, there is likely little that can be done to improve this.

    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.

    It is the heart of the city centre yet it was not noisy in the night. Very practical and everything we needed was at the room. Very pleasant staffs were at the reception too.

    The kitchen is pretty small and can get easily crowded. Also other than the tap in the kitchen, there isn't anywhere to fill up your water which is a bit tricky.

    This hostel is right outside the train station, so ideal for a quick stop. I am also a fan of pod hostels, so the room situation was ideal. Quite spacious and secure lockers (bring your own locks). If you book through booking.com you also get your towel in the price! A nice and upscale hostel in a good location. Will store your bags in a conference room as well on request! Ventilated rooms are great in this heat as well.
