Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For a 4-star hotel, I would say it was very dissatisfactory. The carpets have stains, and the toilet is very old and needs a serious renovation. The shower space was clean but it does not have a shower head (yes I am not joking). There was a broken hand held water spray that leaked water from everywhere. I asked them to fix or replace it and add a showerhead but they told me “it is impossible” (can you believe?). The built in iron was not working properly. However, the breakfast staff are very nice and wonderful. The Comfort Suite room is spacious and the layout is nice.

Lovely staff and grounds. Shower was the highlight. Came for the air conditioning during the heatwave but the system was not adequate. Fold out couch was incredibly uncomfortable and squeaky, ended up putting the mattress on the floor.

Should be better

this 4 stars hotel needs better maintenance. we checked in our room and found out that the refrigerator was not working,the toilet flush was malfunctioning,the carpet in the room was spotted.this was fixed the next day (exept the carpet that need to be changed). The location of the hotel is excellent especially for the Lille brocante. Concerning the service,we forgot somethung in the room and called the hotel to tell them to check the room,they said that they would check,they never got back to us

Live like a nun for one night

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.

Nice atmosphere, great location 10 min. walkcentre. And parking when you are on time. We had a twin room quite spacious on the 3rd floor. Only when opening windows for fresh air at night music comes up the atrium. And note: bathtub was very high getting in for a shower. Hotel should mention this by booking! We had no problem but older people...And there is a safety handel missing in the bath to hold when you get out it is bit unsafe.
