I first booked one night stay at the Campanile Lille-Euralille. The deal offered by Hotels.com was very good. When I got there I was happy to see the new and modern buildings, including the hotel's, in the nearby. The service was outstanding. In the breakfast, when I told the lady croissants were missing, she brought me fresh and warm ones in a basket to my table! My 14-year daughter told me that there she had the most comfortable sofa-bed of our 21 days trip. To reach the Vieux Lille and downtown I had to walk about 20 minutes. Nice place to visit. Next, I was planning to visit other nearby cities such as Dunkirk, Brugge and Ghent, about 80 km away from Lille. Considering how much we enjoyed the hotel and the service, we decided to stay for 3 extra nights. It should be noted that, it offers easy to access the highways for our day trips. There was easy and free parking just in front of the hotel. I definitely recommend it.
