Staying at Hôtel du Moulin d'Or was decent in Lille. The staff were nice and even waited for us since our train got us in pretty late to Lille. They didn't speak English so communication was fully in French, but perhaps this adds to the experience. We communicated a bit via email regarding the reservations and they were prompt with responses.
We didn't have breakfast there since I figured there were so many cafes and bakeries to be checked out! This was a good choice since then we had chocolate croissants made fresh that morning from little stands nearby the hotel.
The location is also nice as it is right near the train station, Gare Lille Flanders. read more
