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...

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.

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

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

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.

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

apart from the 2 local french guys who seemed to think they owned the rest area since they lived there on a semi permanent bsis, absolutely nothing

The pods were quite spacious, confortable and private. Nice common areas, I was even able to do some remote work. The staff was also very friendly.

There was this strange mouldy smell in some areas, but everything was super clean.

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 area outside is noisy at night as it is close to the train/bus/metro station.

Location - excellent

Shower tray kept blocking. Informed reception bur appeared nothing done about it

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.

The bathroom was very basic. The shower had what looked like it should be a 'rainfall' attachment, except the overhead part had a cap screwed over the end of the pipe so your only two options were to use the (leaky) handheld nozzle or open the cap and essentially have an open pipe drop water on you. We did ask reception if we could get a new shower head but they didn't help us - there might have been a language barrier issue (despite me showing them the attached pic). On the plus side, there was a bath as well, so I just used that instead.

The location is fantastic - only a few minutes' walk from the city centre, two train stations and a big shopping centre. We felt safe walking around at night. We used it as a base to visit Christmas markets in Lille, Brussels and Ghent. The parking was quite tight for our car but was secure and very close to the hotel, and was great value. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was big so there was plenty of space for all three of us, and the kitchen area was handy and enabled us to make breakfast ourselves. Everything worked well and was clean. I'd definitely stay here if I went back to Lille.

The room wasn't quite as nice as the photos suggested. We had a nightmare getting there as the satnav tried to take us down roads with bollards that weren't accessible to us. Eventually we approached it from the north-east part of the ringroad (junction with the M670) which enabled us to avoid going through the city centre.

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 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.
