Alliance Lille - Couvent Des Minimes

Restaurant and bar very good. The hotel is a converted convent, really interesting. We loved the cloisters. I would book this hotel again because it is in a great position and is a lovely building

Really friendly staff, the waitress in charge of breakfast was especially helpful. We were able to ask for boiled eggs, rather than just have the scrambled eggs on offer. Tasty pastries at breakfast. Rooms are spacious. It's really impressive how they've converted the cloisters area. The bar is a nice place to sit in the evening, often with a live pianist. The mini Easter eggs at reception on Easter day were a nice little treat. White company toiletries in bathrooms. Easy location to walk to the old town or the grand place. It's nice to be by the Quay, a good place to sit in the sunshine.

This is a unique hotel right in the centre of Lille. As a former convention, the building is beautiful. I booked a superior twin room which was large and comfortable. The beds are comfy and bathroom had a good shower. It was particularly helpful that this Hotel has parking; a rare thing in a city hotel in the historic centre. The breakfast was good and had everything we wanted. Staff were very helpful and some spoke English which was useful as they could give us directions to the places we wanted to see.

The breakfast was very nice. It is worth paying for it and adding it to your room. They have a wonderful coffee maker that makes espresso, cappuccinos, etc. The facility is pretty, but the rooms are tired. The guest rooms and bathrooms need updating. The location is walking distance from the main Lille square and historic areas. It is just a little out of the way.

It’s in a good open location by the canal and just a short walk round the corner into the old town. The original Flemish style brickwork on the exterior and around the courtyard.
