Novotel Lille Aéroport

On arrival there is plenty parking. We were warmly greeted. On arrival in our room the smell was so bad that we automatically turned around and left the room. It was a mixture of cigarette smoke and perhaps damp? It was swiftly resolved and our new room was better although it had a damp smell. I thought that the breakfast was brilliant. There is really something for everyone. It’s beautifully presented and tasted great. Checkout was a little strange as it took well over ten mins to check me out, although they did not explain why.

Small basic rooms. Location is okayish if you are going to the stadium or airport. Reception lady can’t speak English. Patrick at reception deserves to take 5 stars, he is helpful, fluent in English and knowledge and familiar with the area around the hotel.

Stayed here for a one night stop over on the way to Italy. The room was fine, all be it basic. The bathroom was lovely, newly refurbished but the separate toilet didn’t seem to have been. Plenty of parking. The pool was quite small, much smaller than we thought it looked from the pictures. There was lots of outdoor space for children to run off some energy although maybe a small park would make a difference here. The room had a strange damp smell and there was multiple flies we had to chase out when we arrived. Also asked for some additional pillows and were told the limit was 4 per room so we didn’t have the most comfortable sleep. All in all, good for a one night stop over.

Rooms are simple but clean and complete. Serves the purpose of being training location. Food (dinner) is different issue: slow, tasteless, quality of meat soso. Breakfast is fine, good choice. Good location in highway with ample car chargers. So, OK for an overnight stay. Do not set expectations high
