The chef creates & prepares a 3 course menu each day, with fresh local ingredients. We stayed 2 nights and ate at the restaurant both evenings -- the food the first night was SO amazing we changed our plans to have dinner elsewhere the second night. His sauces were stunning -- everything was simple and elegant, prepared just-so, making great ingredients even better. the hotel was also very nice -- the rooms were completely renovated, quiet, nice bathroom. the grounds are old-style farmhouse.

So every time they seemed fit to turn it off, they would do that and we would wake up in a sweat. I would turn it back on, and they would turn it back off. I complained and bitched at them and they left it on, but of course, the next person on duty the next night kept on turning it off. Never again.

"modern" design with stainless steel washroom, hard wood floors, and IKEA looking furniture in the guest suites Complimentary breakfast especially good - streaky bacon, sausage, eggs (not to order) done buffet style with fruit, croissants/Danish, and a selection of cold-cuts and cheeses, all you can eat. Staff were young, friendly, and indulged some of our wishes - like watching Stanley Cup hockey in the lobby at 3:00am to 6:00am local time as it aired live in Canada. One of the group linked their computer to the TV and provided a feed for a group of not always quiet spectators (Calgary eliminated Vancouver the night I stayed up to watch, to much cheering). Negatives - - no room service. You can order snacks and drinks from the bar to take back to your room, but you have to carry it yourself. - Many items missing from rooms - no tissues, for example, no coffee/tea in the rooms - beds very small even by European standards. Double occupancy rooms had the beds touching; not at all what a North American would be familiar with. - chairs were very small, cramped, hard wooden chairs, so sitting at the free WiFi was a bit of a torture chamber, if you planned on using the desk for any length of time. - only a single ironing board and iron for the entire facility - one (slow) elevator for the entire facility - crazy stairwell with angular stairs would be a disaster in an actual emergency I didn't pay, as part of a tour, so I suppose the price may be the real attraction here for those budgeting. As a base of operations for touring in which you will probably just sleep there and little else, serviceable, but really not comfortable by any stretch. Staff ranged from helpful to indifferent (trying to order a pizza from the bar, some were successful a couple of times, while my last attempt resulted in them floundering around saying they would "look" but got busy with other customers and so I went out for a meal instead. Most egregious, I came back from a dinner and found myself locked out of my room, as my card key was deactivated. A letter was taped to the door which babbled something about people found smoking in their rooms would be fined 115Euros. My only vice is talking to strangers on the Internet and so I was incensed. I don't recall much of the conversation with the desk staff, but I was quite full of wine and probably did not do Canada any diplomatic favours. I do remember using unParliamentary language and the desk rectifying the situation quickly with a new card key and apology, though I still have no idea what would possess them to leave such a note in the first place, it being quite impossible to have any application to me. Staff did not seem to show any resentment after our regimental pipes and drums decided to host a ceilidh in the lobby and the police were summoned. But I admit I didn't speak at length with any of them about the matter. Had better, had worse.

This time I was lucky enough to receive an upgrade, and once again the experience was fantastic. The entire staff is professional and truly goes above and beyond to help. A special thank you to Thomas at the reception desk for his kindness and outstanding service. The hotel is clean, classy, full of historical character, and perfectly located in the center of Lille. It's hard to imagine a better place to stay in the city. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Bathroom was nice and room had a fridge. Room also was very hot. Other room was in the old hospice part and was a fantastic suite. That room had a massive bathroom, scale, fireplace, king bed, Old style chairs and a fancy cappucino coffee make and a ton of lotions, shampoos, razor and more. The other room had a basic coffee pot and a lower level of shampoos and lotions. Hotel has a nice bar with 10 euro wine and 20 euro mixed drinks. Breakfast area had a continental for about 12 euro and full for about 23. I recommend full with cheese, salmon, eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, beans, waffles, pancakes and lots of bread, cakes, muffins and selfserve fresh squeezed orange juice. You also get fruit and champagne included. 5 star breakfast. You must visit the chapel and library and museum of old hospice and banquet rooms. Stained glass windows and plenty of artwork. Has a spa and pool but didnt use. Convenient location.

The Mercure Lille is a great place to make your base for exploring Lille and the surrounding northern France towns. It is incredibly convenient to rail stations and an easy walking location for all kinds of exploring in and around Lille. The staff are also extremely helpful and kind. I had a computer stolen out of my bag on the train from Brussels and the stay helped me to walk through the process of filing a police report. Definitely worth a stay if you're a business traveler - as the lobby is a hub for virtual nomads and meetings.
