OKKO Hotels Lille Centre

Location is good a few streets from the main square. Hotel is not easy to find. the hotel name is a vertical sign and is next door to a sort of gym. Its a nice street. The sliding door opens and you take the lift to reception on the 2nd floor. You need the room door key for the lift to access the upper bedroom floors. the breakfast lounge area is open plan space with comfortable sofas and chairs. A cozy area has a log effect fire. A good vibe. Hotel decor and furnishings are modern. A water machine is on each floor. Breakfast is not large but had hot and cold food. A good mix of cold with fruit, ham etc. Coffee is from a machine. Loose tea with 3/4 types of tea. Tea & coffee, cake, nuts are available all day. Help yourself, a real bonus. Coffee machine in the bedroom. No tea. Shower and basin is separated from the bed by a trellis screen. Toiletries are in fixed bottles. The toilet is in a separate enclosed room. Bed was comfortable. TV has english speaking news channel.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at this hotel, thanks to the kind and attentive staff who went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed and pillows that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The shower’s water pressure was just right, making for a refreshing experience. The 24-hour lounge was a great convenience, allowing us to grab water and light snacks whenever we needed. After a day of exploring, it was the perfect place to unwind. The communal spaces were consistently clean and well-stocked with everything you might need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the delicious desserts. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

The room was fine for one, but would have been a squeeze for two. Everywhere very minimal, modern and spotlessly clean. Drinking fountains situated outside the lifts on each floor. Beds were very low, but comfortable with feather and down duvets/pillows. Easy to use air con/ heating. The lights did not require you to leave the key card in - always an annoyance. Plenty of hot water and towels. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Please note that there is a handy charging USB point on the front of the phone so you don't have to fiddle about with adaptors. The wardrobe is low so fine for shirts/blouses/trousers, but there is a multiple point hanger on the wall, which I used for dresses.The breakfast is extensive - including unusually, cooked scrambled eggs and bacon. There are nibbles available in the "club" all day which are free , as is the 'aparretivo' in the early evening. There is a very limited menu in the evening from 20.00 [8.00pm], but it is well cooked, and tasty. There is an extensive wine list in the bar, with fairly average prices 6/7euros for a glass, including a sparkling Vouvray. The hotel is well situated just off one of the main streets [ pedestrianised] ,Rue Bethune, within easy walking distance of both Palais Des Beaux Arts, and the picturesque Old Town.You are spoilt for choice as to where to eat, and there is an excellent gelateria / waffle/crepe outlet just on the corner.

OKKO is a cool, modern hotel close to the center of everything in Lille, but on a quiet street. The room was perfect for a solo traveler - not big, but very efficiently laid out (and with a very comfortable bed!) The OKKO is a short walk from the train station, but try to find the less crowded path, over fewer cobblestone pavers. The on-site restaurant was convenient and the food options delicious, great for days that you didn’t want to venture out to try to find a table at the vibrant restaurant scene in the Lille square. Staff very nice and helpful.

It’s very quiet and clean and no fuss. Don’t be put off by the odd entrance on street. Go up two floors to a tiny reception desk and then up a lift to your room. In future you can go from street to room and no one sees you. I liked the scandi decor. Great shower. Very clean. We were on 4th floor away from lift. Didn’t have breakfast or use any facilities. Location fine for walking / exploring but def not the nicest or most attractive area in Lille. Good coffee machine in room.
