Eklo Hotels Lille

The homemade pizza was lovely. The common space on the ground floor was probably the hotel's best feature.

I knew the location was out of central Lille but I was expecting at least the staff to have some maps or give instructions about how to get to the nearest metro or bus stop. I actually had to ask them to tell me how to move around. I spent five days there, the cleaning person did not show up once and then I saw on the notice at the door that I had to pay extra for them to come and change the towels or even take the rubbish. It was particularly hot this week in Lille so the rubbish in my room starting smelling after day 3.. Though the booking was for two people, we only got one towel the first day we arrived and one bottle of shower gel which was not renewed throughout our stay. The bathroom had no window and the room's only window was olong the outside corridor where people go passed to go to their own rooms. As there was non air-con in the room, i had to leave the window ajar at night, which made me feel unsafe. Also, the safety light was located right across the window, making sure my room was not even remotely dark at any point during the night. I had to choose between lowering the shades all the way to the bottom and roasting in the hot room or leaving the window open and having the light shine in my room.

Bathrooms are ok, the common areas and bar/restaurant is really nice.

Hostel is far from everything, bedroom was really small. There were bed bugs in my room (they changed me room for the night). I said to them next morning "don't forget about the bed bugs, please clean" they looked not worried about it. For 2-3 € more you can stay in other place better in every sense
