This was our first time visiting Lille and I wanted a hotel that was fairly central to the places that we would be visiting, would be suitable for my mother and sister, included breakfast and was not too expensive. The Holiday Inn Express Lille Centre by IHG was therefore absolutely perfect for our needs. The reception area is bright, clean and welcoming. All the members of staff that we encountered during our stay were kind, polite and very helpful. The rooms were well maintained with clean bathrooms, comfortable beds (fresh crisp white sheets, nicely weighted duvets), a window that could be opened for fresh air and there was sufficient storage for our two-night stay with a hanging rail, shelf, small pigeon-hole bedside table and luggage rack. Breakfast was a beautifully laid-out buffet with a wide selection of foods with something for everyone. We absolutely fell in love with Lille and I can't wait to return again soon with my husband and children this time. The Holiday Inn Express Lille Centre by IHG will be my first choice of accommodation.
