Cap Gris-Nez Tours

Conveniently located for the train station with plenty of shops, eateries etc. nearby. Secure access from ground level, with stair access immediately to reception. Easy and welcome check in. Stairs to all floors. I don't mind a small room when I'm travelling, as I only sleep there. However, if you are a larger person or travelling as a pair you may find (at least the room I was in) to be at your limit. The shower is very tight for space and there is limited walking space between furniture. That said the bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

We switched from another hotel in Lille because it was 100 degrees outside and this one advertised air conditioning but cost a lot more. When we arrived to a small room with a tiny and dirty bathroom, we turned on the AC. After some time we realized it was not working. Communication as an English speaker was difficult with front desk. They would not move us to a lower floor or another ibis hotel nearby, and simply gave us a fan. Rooms were over 90 degrees so sleep was impossible and a fan did not help. There were no workers trying to fix AC and they refused to give us a partial refund. These were unsafe and unbearable conditions in the tiny rooms. False advertising should not be accepted and customers deserve a refund for having to go through this.

Very convenient road trip breaker, which backs onto an airfield, with sky diving and gliding actively entertaining us whilst enjoying our beer on the terrace. Our room was so quiet and dark due to efficient drapes, that we slept in and nearly missed breakfast, which would have been a shame as it was good. A couple of restaurants and KFC within a few yards, we chose the excellent Au Bureau…. good quality and value, having eaten there elsewhere in France. Would certainly stay again!
