Villeneuve d＇Ascq Hotels with Bars

Stayed here as part of tour to watch the rugby at the nearby stadium. Fantastic location, just a 15-20 minute walk to stadium and 5-10 walk to local shopping centre with all the big stores including an Auchan, and also where the Metro station is located. Like elsewhere in France most places closed on a Sunday so the area is very quiet but only a 10 minute ride on the Metro and you are in the centre of Lille, with plenty of squares with great bars and cafes. The staff at the Ibis were lovely, friendly and very helpful, but had great sympathy for them on the Saturday evening as the bar was very crowded as people returned from the rugby match, wanting drinks and pizzas, I’m sure they would have appreciated more staff. We had a great pizza and watched the evening matches which were shown on the TV and large screen. I thought, from reading reviews, that breakfast may be disappointing but no, a lovely surprise, not busy and plenty of choice, choice of teas, fruit juices and coffee , pastries , some fruit and a small cold meat selection, and a small hot choice of bacon, sausages and scrambled egg, the egg was not very warm but just a very small complaint, thoroughly enjoyed everything! I would not hesitate to recommend this Ibis hotel, and a big thank you to the staff.
