Hôtel Carlton Lille

Excellent breakfast and great bar with a view. Located next to Opera and the old town with an amazing selection of restaurants.

The location is excellent on the Place d'Opera, and our room had a side view onto the Place. The bathroom was well appointed, although it was very small. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was a good size. We enjoyed a drink in the View Bar although the service was rather slow. Breakfast had a good choice with wonderful fresh orange juice. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We saw quite a few different people at the reception desk and every one was charming.

Fantastic location, wonderful building with spacious rooms. Staff absolutely fantastic - brilliant bar in the property. We had a small issue with the wrong champagne being left in room for us, and opened this without realising. After popping down to reception, the correct bottle was delivered with an apology! Faultless service, even if I’d been asked to pay for the bottle we opened incorrectly ( and would have happily done so) , the way it was dealt with by the reception staff with fantastic. Every member of staff we encountered for polite, professional and friendly.

We arrived in Lille by Eurostar and were able to easily walk to the Hotel Carlton, despite rather large and heavy suitcases. The hotel is very well situated for exploring Lille's Old Town on foot and there are lots of restaurants within very easy reach. The hotel is elegant and our room was a very good size. The bed was comfortable (though perhaps a little firmer than we like), there was a good bathoom with a very generously sized bath and an over-bath shower. The toilet was sited in a separate cubicle. The room also had a small minibar. The breakfast buffet was good and the staff were friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our (brief) stay.

The hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Lille, and appears classy, even with a touch of luxury. The building is probably quite old, the floors in the rooms seemed particularly old (uneven) but for me it only added to the charm of the place :) The rooms are very comfortable, everything is functional. The breakfast was a bit pricey, the quality of food was good but there wasn't too much of a choice.
