Lille City Hotel
It was good hotel to stay over 3 nights for me, easy access to local attractions. The Passage to the entrance is disappointed cos the two shops between are empty and few people sit on floor outside the premise. No tea or coffee in room.

Hôtel Brueghel
Wonderful 4 night stay. Perfect location in old town to explore by foot. Very walkable city. Short walk from EuroLille and Flanders stations. No need for cabs/public transport. Plenty of restaurants and bars in all directions. Right next to beautiful church (so magnificent we thought it was the cathedral) ...
