Friendly owners Laurent and Stephanie split the job – she’s at the helm in reception, while he mans the kitchen.

Nearby must-do’s include Douai, Musée Louvre-Lens, an excursion to Lille and and the charming squares of Arras.

Know what’s nice about being a bit off the beaten path? It’s quiet (‘cept for the chirping birds who clearly did not get the memo).

Warm, attractive accommodations within the Université de Lille's Science City and convenient to both the airport and the city centre.

Tranquil grounds include everything from outdoor pool to pétanque and ping pong (assuming you can get yourself out of the hammock).

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Just outside of Lille in a quiet part of town, offers convenient access to the city center.

Rooms balance cosy & comfortable with modern style.

Boldly designed in the popular interwar Art Deco style, and with a glass-encased bar to boot.

Venturing’s easy ‘cos you’re just off the A1 with easy access to the Lille Airport & Seclin SNCF station.

Free WiFi is always a nice-to-have.

Soundproofed rooms decorated in soft hues are outfitted with pillowtop beds for prime snoozing conditions.

Spacious rooms that are super-comfy. Past guests have raved about the oh-so-soothing showers.

Idyllically located only a few steps from the magnificent Grand Place and the restaurants, bars and concept stores of the historic centre.

Sweet location in the charming Flanders region – full of cultural exhibitions, flea markets and fab food.

You’re steps from the tram. Go forth and conquer, fueled by coffee and croissants from the breakfast buffet.

Right in the charming Old Town, a stone's throw from good eats & must-sees.

Train station’s quite literally on your doorstep; defo doable for even the most zealous of overpackers.

Just a 2-min walk from the station, and only 5 into the colourfully Baroque-charmed city centre.

Like Flemish Baroque style? We knew it! Go check out the homes and squares of nearby World Heritage Sites.

History? We'll take some. Béthune's historic town centre is a short drive.
