6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Good:
Super close to both train stations which is convenient. Also close to the big shopping centre.
Colourful decor in rooms (however if you dislike full length wall mirrors on each side of your bed, you might not like this…)
Fridge facilities and safe in room
Free movies on tv
The restaurant and bar has DJs on the weekend if that’s your vibe (however noise can be heard in the rooms)
Bad:
Room was quite worn and unclean - there were hair trimmings by the sink, cigarette hole in the curtains and the shower was crusty. Toilet paper was also very cheap. Rainfall shower never fully heated up to the right temperature.
The bathroom amenities are really lacking - one bar of soap and an all-in-soap for hair and face.
I’m all for minimising environmental impact but this feels cheap and not useful (so wasted) rather than useful, quality products. Conditioner would be appreciated.
Despite connecting to the WiFi neither AirPlay or chromecast worked.
Breakfast is okay but you can get much better fare for the same price / cheaper at the local trendy cafes. Not a lot of variety for vegans or gluten free folks.
I’ve stayed in mama shelter hotels before (albeit a few years ago) but after this stay I think it will be the last time. The quality is no longer there and the standards feel more budget than boutique or playful - despite the price being on the higher end for hotels in Lille. You can get better for your money in Lille - I wish I had booked somewhere else for my trip.
