The hotel was opposite Lens train station so ideal for the RWC trip we had. The hotel didnt open after lunch until 2pm... on the details it said 1.30pm & on the door of the hotel 1pm. The lady was very welcoming once she arrived though. Very basic room & the bed wasn't very comfortable.... our sons single bed was comfy.p

Travelled for work and booked 2 rooms - #1 the towels were moist/ wet and resting on the end of the bed. Guy at reception wasn't bothered. #2 smelled damp with mould in the bathroom. Both had unclean bedsheets, looked very grubby, curtains wouldn't fully close and not even a coffee in the morning.

Hotel is in the middle renovating
The hotel staff where nice and helpful but, I there was a bit of a language barrier. The room had been recently redone. There was nowhere to hang anything, not even a coat-hook by the door. there was a musty smell in the room as well.

Nightmare - avoid!
The door keypad is broken so a phone number for the night receptionist was provided, but they did not respond to repeated calls so I was locked out of the hotel at 1am! I had to spend half an hour finding another hotel. I left my details to discuss a refund but the hotel management did not contact me or return email. In addition, the room was dingy, the corridor smelled strongly of weed, sound travels very easily and the receptionists do not speak any English. Probably not a bad place to take a call girl. Otherwise atrocious.

Juste convenable
Juste convenable pour le prix. Draps et serviettes propres. Par contre mauvaise literie sûrement tres ancienne. Valable en dépannage pour une nuit. Hôtel apparemment en travaux mais pas d'outils ou d'ouvriers visibles. Chambres refaites mais pas tout à fait. Couloirs idem avec au sol une tres vieille moquette rouge toute tachée qui malheureusement gâche tout. Juste un portant qui ne tient pas debout pour les vêtements. Par contre problème de pommeau de douche résolu en 10 mn par le personnel ultra réactif.

Honteux !
3ème étage sans ascenseur, chaleur étouffante, grosses mouches qui tourbillonnent, porte de salle de bain qui grince (super quand on se lève la nuit) moisissures dans la douche dont les portes ne ferment pas ( une vieille brosse à dents pleine de poussière traine entre la douche et le lavabo. Pas de volet et le rideau ne masque pas la lumière du jour. Cerise sur le gâteau : sous prétexte de match de foot, impossible d'avoir un petit déjeuner. 175€ pour 2 nuits horribles : c'est de l'arnaque. A éviter absolument

Pas terrible 😟
En voyage en famille. Passé une seule nuit à l'aller et une au retour. Dans l’ensemble l’hôtel est assez propre. Le Personnel est sympathique et serviable mais très incompétente. Pas professionnelle du tout. Nous avions bien réservé plusieurs semaines en avance pour 5 personnes pourtant pour les deux occasions il manquait à notre arrivé : le linge pour le lit d'appoint, 3 sets de serviettes, papier WC et gel douche. Le Hôtel a été mal rénové par des bricoleurs. Il y a un mauvaise odeur d'égout dans les pièces communes et les distributeurs de boissons et confiseries étaient HS. Rien à voir avec l’hôtel même mais Lens est une ville moche sans intérêt. Je précise que je n’ai pas l’habitude de laisser des avis aussi négatif mais là je ne pouvais pas autrement. 😟
