Overall Ratings & Reviews Couvent des Minimes

Formidable hôtel.

Rooms need a bit of a

The property was clean and tidy and has a nice bar area with a lovely and helpful bar lady called Aurelian. The rooms were comfy but rather poorly lit - impossible to read a book in bed. On arrival we were given two double rooms but had booked two twins. This took about 50 minutes to resolve and the reception staff did not apologise but seemed to think they had done us a favour! They were generally rather offhand. On our second night one was working in the bar area taking up a table and having a very loud online conversation.

Couvent des Minimes always hits the spot. I never bother to even look at other hotels in Lille. Perfectly located; quiet; charming and helpful staff; beautiful building. Perfect!

We couldn’t sleep due to the room being too warm and checked out early

Excellent location, very nice place, non-existent service... no friendliness or interaction between the staff and the customers

Firstly, my room had no air conditioning in August. I asked for a fan and was promised one, but it never arrived. My room was on the ground level facing a parking lot, so I could not leave the window open at night. As a result, my sleep was very limited. Secondly, the desk clerk gave a key to my room to some couple at 11pm one night, so they walked into my room when I wasn't dressed. Finally, the desk clerk promised to compensate me for my terrible experience and I never heard from the hotel.

We booked 3 rooms for two nights, however after checking in, they only gave us one room with air-con, the other two has only a fan in it. It stated the hotel has air-con and we were really disappointed, especially it’s in the hot summer time. When we ask if they could change for us for rooms with air-con, they said they were fully booked and refused to change. We finally decided to stay only one night and check out on the next morning. This is your responsibility to state the real situation of your rooms, don’t just put air-con in hotel details if you are not able to provide it. Generally this is an experience with disappointment.

No wonder Frauline Maria ditched the abbey for the villa! This convent turned hotel has a gorgeous entry way and restaurant/bar area. However, the room is dreary and dated. The area that surrounds the hotel is safe and has lots of brewery/restaurant/shopping options. It is a 15 minute walk to the train station, easy to navigate.

Stayed for the olympics. Blaise.at the frony desk was very helpful. Rooms needed some air conditioing

Hotel is very tired We were in rooms not on the central courtyard shown in all the pictures. There is no Air-con in the rooms or most of the hotel which was hard when it was 32 degrees. The window blind was in pieces on the window cill The tv kept retuning every 15 minutes so was unusable. The bath plug was stuck so could not drain the shower The shower screen leaked all across the bathroom floor The shower head was old and didn’t work properly I reported the above issues to reception when we checked out but no note of issues was recorded The carpet room had a large numbers of holes in it and peeling wallpaper, it’s very tired Room 322 We booked two rooms but we were given room as far away from each other as was possible on different floors The central bar/restaurant has no air-con so was almost unusable with the recent weather This is not a 4 Star Hotel it’s a 3 Star at best that needs investment Well placed in Lille but I’m embarrassed I chose it!

This is an “Ok” hotel, breakfast isn’t the best. Overall, just an average hotel.

It’s a hotel

Great hotel in a perfect spot! The reception staff are really nice and helpful!

Prachtige accommodatie in de oude binnenstad

A first class experience. All staff was competent and courteous. I liked the location.

Beautifully restored historical building within walking distance of many sites and restaurants. Hôtel was very well maintained and staff were fantastic, very friendly, helpful and polite. Would very happily stay there again

The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure all of my needs were taken care of. The food at the hotel was also amazing - I couldn't get enough of the delicious meals they served. I will definitely be returning to this hotel in the future. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The room was a bit outdated, but an excellent experience: great breakfast buffet, and wonderful and friendly staff. I would stay there again without hesitating.

Very expensive dining
