Wonderful location - peaceful residential area with the benefit of being next to the citadel for lovely walks as well as just an 8 minute walk to the heart of the old town. Also a handsome building - and we loved the large fully openable windows, lovely floorboards and high ceilings of our room - it felt so spacious and airy. You can be very independent here - no reception desk and a key pad to get in and out - so it feels more like coming home to your apartment! The staff we met briefly were delightful.

Maybe there could be more coffee, tea and water in the room - there is a fab nespresso machine but only 2 capsules which wasn’t enough for us! And there aren’t any local shops to buy water so more bottles would have been much appreciated.

The property is in a fantastic location! Our room was elegant and had great air conditioning! The breakfast was a bit pricey, but the ingredients were very fresh and high quality, and the staff were extremely friendly and gracious. The bathroom was also elegantly appointed, with a great shower, plenty of towels, and other nice touches. The hosts offered us bottled water any time we encountered them, which is very nice, considering most places charge you for water after your first bottle. An extra bonus is that the tap water in Lille was great! We didn't really need the bottled water since the tap water was so good!

The breakfast was a set price at 15 euros, regardless of whether you had just a croissant and coffee, or the entire selection offered, which had Serano ham and 3 types of cheeses. I wish the property had a lift/elevator, though the booking was clear that there wasn't one. There is one initial set of steps when you enter the property, that doesn't have handrails on either side, which made carrying luggage up/down the steps feel very risky. However, if there was a staff member available, they always offered to carry the luggage.

Easy access on arrival via a door code. High-ceilinged, well-appointed and quiet room with well fitted, modern bathroom (shower); excellent pre-ordered breakfast looking out on to the canal and park. Delightful and helpful staff. A short and enjoyable quiet walk to the centre through a characterful residential neighborhood with good restaurants.

My husband would have liked secure parking, but in fact our car was safe in the open public car parking space a 5-minute walk away.

Location location location. 10 min walk from center and in front of big park. Self check-in (code). Good size bedroom. Interesting art. Good value for money. One additional pillow (2 would have been even better)

I asked prior to arriving for non-smoking room.i have written confirmation that it was ok. Unfortunately as we arrived, the window was open for aeration and it was evident someone had smoked. There was also the smell of the spray they put to cover the smoking smell. One of the curtains did not close properly so in the morning we got the sun in our eyes. When we mentioned the smoking the staff agreed and offered to give us breakfast and or the city tax as a gesture (which we appreciate).

Well positioned aparthotel (rooms without kitchen or reception). Very helpful and welcoming small team. Our room had a wonderful large window. Breakfast is very good value.

Open plan room meant only toilet had a door, shower was spreading water everywhere. Some fittings have seen better days - cracked sink and chipped coffee table.

Beautiful period building with very spacious rooms, high ceilings and large windows. We stayed three nights and our room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast room has a lovely view over the Citadel Park. We liked the location on the edge of the old town - as it was easy to walk into town but was lovely and quiet. The staff were kind and pleasant.

We would have liked fresh fruit at breakfast.

Situated in the historic centre of Lille, L'Esplanade is the Maison d'Art providing contemporary accommodation where our stylish room SCRIVE offered pleasing view of the city. This 17 century Dutch influenced Town House is the perfect place for the discerning traveller to stay and explore the delights this vibrant city Lille has to offer. In the local vicinity there can be found a myriad of bars, cafes and restaurants

What's not to like - Denis is the most perfect hospitable host. In honesty on our journey home we were planning our next visit - you just have to be there!!

The suite was absolutely beautiful and bed super comfy. Decor was gorgeous and the coffee in the room is always welcome, along with the extras in the mini bar. Breakfast was delicious with a whole basket of baked goods. The art pieces displayed everywhere were exquisite. The high ceilings and big windows allowing in a lot of light and beautiful views, gave a sense of space and quality

No place to work from wasn't great as my husband works from anywhere he travels to and no workspace and reachable plug point wasn't great. He then had to attend a zoom meeting and went into the breakfast area as that was the only other option and was then asked to keep it down which meant that the acoustics aren't upto standard

Great location opposite the canal walks which are a short walk to the centre of Lille. As we were driving we found it easy to park close to the hotel too.

Creatively well thought through interior design. A very deceptive building. You walk through the doors and it’s stunning. The retained features and large white walls beautifully display the art. Our room was wonderfully spacious, clean and light. We will be back!

)Very spacious rooms with tea and coffee and mini bar in your room. Lovely decor. Very high ceilings and original timber floorboards. Lots if modern art. Lovely en suite which looked brand new. Although the location was outside the old town, it was just a nice 15 minute stroll. The property is directly across the road from a large park (with a citadel in the middle). The hosts were very helpful. Ordering cabs and giving directions. Thank you!

We were very happy overall. If I had to mention something, the floorboards were rather squeaky. Having said that we didn't hear any noise from any of the other rooms. So a very minor point really.
