Hotels near Scotch & Soda in Lille

Stayed one night (driving through Lille) with the family. We reserved a ‘Family Room’ and got two adjacent rooms (connected through an inside door), hence had two bathrooms, TVs, the whole lot. The hotel looks recently renovated (or built), it is very well located in the city center of Loos, plenty of places to eat nearby, a beautiful park, and a Carrefour (in case you need some groceries). The hotel has all measures for dealing with COVID-19 and the breakfast was served to ensure guests are not on top of each other and the food. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and will pass by again.

Arrived Friday evening a very pleasant welcome from the receptionist who remembered that I made a special request for a room without a sloping roof. Our room was at the back of the hotel, it was small, although the bathroom was a reasonable size but rather dark, there was some noise from an adjacent bar but it didn’t really bother us.. it was very warm.. no air conditioning but you could open the window, however in doing so it allowed mosquitoes into the room so my husband and I ended up with a few bites, not very pleasant. When I mentioned this to the manager he was very unsympathetic and said it was due to the weather ! We were asked on arrival if we wanted our room cleaned during our stay (environmental ?) we said yes just the once, we were given extra towels, bins emptied, carpets vacuumed, some of the dirty towels were still left in the bathroom, coffee cups and glasses not washed, coffee and water bottle not replaced. There’s a good selection for breakfast and it’s in a great location, could be a lovely hotel with a little more attention to detail

We chose this hotel on cost, but it turned out to be very well-located, an easy 10-minute walk from either Lille station and the city centre (Grand Place), and even closer to the old town. The hotel is clean and functional, with all the basics: comfy bed, tiny but well appointed ensuite shower-room, small desk and surprisingly comfortable chair, blackout blind on the window... Breakfast was the usual cold buffet items: cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, breads, croissants, preserves, plus juices and hot drinks. All high quality except the whole apples (there was fruit salad too), which were dull and several were bruised - both mornings. Wifi was good both in our 4th floor room and in the breakfast room. Staff were rather dour, and not quite on it clearing breakfast detritus, for example, but that was fairly minor issue for us. But it was the location which made it special - just round the corner from Rue du Gand, a pretty cobbled street full of eating establishments and gateway to both the old town and the main centre.

If you want to actually go to Lille, DO NOT BOOK HERE, you’ll never make it!! We booked this hotel in May 2022, for two trips in September and October 2023 for the rugby World Cup, well in advance and getting good prices. It was after that we realised what a shambolic, fraudulent, rogue trader outfit this hotel actually is. They first cancelled our October booking claiming they no longer owned the apartments anymore (?). We had a booking for five, they offered two single rooms as an alternative…..?! *********** did little to help, and we were left spend over £1000 more to get alternative accommodation which, quite obviously, was limited and now very expensive. Once is frustrating….. surely they wouldn’t do it again…. They’ve now cancelled our September booking, claiming renovation work that won’t be complete. Who is renovating their hotel in the middle of the World Cup…. So they’ve cancelled the reservation, and *********** have provided a one bed studio outside of Lille as a ‘suitable’ alternative….. for five adults 🤦🏼! Incompetent, fraudulent, thieves. Do not book, they’ll overbook and cancel you, leaving you to pick up the tab.

Basic rooms, paper cups in room. Bed was comfortable and room was kept clean. On check out, we were told by receptionist Last Minute.com hadn't paid for our rooms. We had booked and paid in full in September 22!!;. Receptionist wouldn't take the reference I tried to show her. Had to have an online chat with Last Minute who confirmed they had paid. After an hour of going through the online chat and showing the receptionist this and showing her our booking confirmation from Last Minute did she say all was ok!!! No apology received!!! Our friends were very upset and distressed about this including my husband and I!!! Luckily, our Eurostar was booked for the evening, so we weren't in a rush and felt like we had to pay to get away on time!! Our dealings with Last Minute leading up to this holiday had not been good either!!! We love Lille and Eurostar and will return again BUT we will NOT be staying at this hotel or using Last Minute!

The location of this hotel is great. You are literally just round the corner from Le Grande Place and only about 9 minutes’ walk from the Euralille station. The place is clean and rather small. Breakfast is included in the price, which is a bonus. Breakfast is a typical continental style with ham, cheeses, pastries, eggs, etc. it was perfectly fine. Six of us stayed here in six rooms over the weekend and found it a great base from which to explore the city. It was also a reasonable price and the staff were friendly and spoke English. There were two downsides (nowhere is perfect). Firstly, the heating in my room was very erratic. When we arrived it was 1C outside and my room was cold. I turned up the electronic control to 24C but it did absolutely nothing at all. Next morning at breakfast I reported this. 10 mins later I was told it had been checked and was working perfectly. I was curious. When I got back to my room I found the heating was still not working. The room was cold and even turning the thermostat to 28C produced no warm air from the grille whatsoever (even after waiting 20 mins). I therefore turned the thermostat down to 19C and went out for the day. When I got back I could see that somebody had turned the thermostat up to 27C and the room was exceptionally warm. I turned it down to 19C. The temperature dropped, and dropped until the room was quite cold again. Nothing I did could turn that heating back on. So I gave up. The second downside? The toilet paper in the bathroom was ridiculously small. Each square being a little over the size of a postage stamp. Come on Ibis. Install some proper toilet paper like people use at home. Apart from these two downsides, I would stay here again. My colleagues, who didn’t have problems with their heating, but who also commented on the toilet paper, would agree.

I had stayed here previously and been very impressed so returned. Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms excellent/comfortable. Had a lovely meal in Ma Reine restaurant - also good cocktails served on the patio area. Wide selection and range for breakfast. Excellent value. Good location close to Eurostar and the Old Town.

Clean rooms , welcome staff , near metro 7 min walk , city centre of Lille not very far by metro or car and various restaurants nearby according to taste , fast food , pizza and bowling and cinema nearby free Wi-Fi , Quality ratio correct price

The hotel is so professionally run, excellent value for money and has real charm. The location is exceptional for exploring Lille - all on your doorstep- and excellent access to trains. It is busy, in a good way, everything works and all the staff know exactly what they are doing. Some reviewers have commented on the lift which we thought was charming, like everything else in this place it does exactly what is needed with no fuss. Friendly, helpful staff in an authentic well run establishment.

Very well Inconvenient there is no parking except paying or places to be able to park around the hotel
