Mercure Lille Roubaix Grand Hotel

“Wonderful location, but some disappointments”

Nice hotel in a fabulous location. Very helpful and friendly staff. The darkest room I have ever stayed in. No overhead lighting at all, just bedside reading lights and a small floor lamp.

Nice hotel in a fabulous location. Very helpful and friendly staff. The darkest room I have ever stayed in. No overhead lighting at all, just bedside reading lights and a small floor lamp. Felt like a cave. The fitness room is a closet that contains a bike, an elliptical, a treadmill, and one single dumbbell that you can load up to 18 pounds! An insult to everyone that brings workout clothes on a trip. Likewise, the parking garage is minuscule--place for just seven small compact cars. Don't try to get anything bigger down there! Fortunately plenty of on-street parking available.

“Thought we were staying in Lille, not Roubaix!”

I'm expecting to be in Lille, but you're not as it's a satellite town 30 mins away. So the building was nice, and the restaurant downstairs was decent when open as not 7 days a week, so please check. We found the staff to be very helpful, which was in stark contrast to some reviews. Now, some key… lisää

I'm expecting to be in Lille, but you're not as it's a satellite town 30 mins away. So the building was nice, and the restaurant downstairs was decent when open as not 7 days a week, so please check. We found the staff to be very helpful, which was in stark contrast to some reviews. Now, some key considerations to factor they do have a small car park below hotel but not east to get in or out with a 40-degree slope and height restriction, The locality is anything but touristy, although the cafe next door is full of locals with quite an Arabic vibe. Lots of petty crime nearby, so be careful we witnessed a few issues during our stay. There are lots of fast food joints nearby, and a few mins walk is the metro statio , which does take you straight into Lille in 30 mins or so. We had an okay stay, but tbh if we could have, we would rather have stayed in Lille and thought that's where we booked.

“Good spot if you have to be in Roubaix”

The hotel is in a lovely old building with interior decor in keeping with the style. The staff are very helpful, but they are overstretched. The hotel is centrally located a short walk from the metro2 line and the SNCF train. I'd recommend the train, although less frequent the metro is overcrowded … lisää

The hotel is in a lovely old building with interior decor in keeping with the style. The staff are very helpful, but they are overstretched. The hotel is centrally located a short walk from the metro2 line and the SNCF train. I'd recommend the train, although less frequent the metro is overcrowded like nothing I've seen elsewhere, including Paris. The bed was comfortable, but there was only one pillow per person which made for a less comfortable sleep. The room was quiet and no street noise from outside could be heard. Roubaix has not a lot to offer as a town, and we struggled to find anywhere for dinner open in the evening as a lot seemed to close mid-week. The hotel has a restaurant but the menu is limited in choice so it didn't suit us, which was disappointing. If I needed to be in Roubaix for some particular reason I'd stay here again, but I wouldn't recommend it as a tourism stop.
