I have stayed in this old building many times they used to have an excellent restaurant downstairs but this is long gone. For a superb meal try Au Turbotin which is only a few minutes walk away and has the most amazing menu, including drinks a minimum of 50 Euros each. The room was clean and comfortable but a little...

The earlier reviews say that the hotel is poor and put me off staying, but It has been modernised and improved. Very good rooms to the IBIS standard, helpful staff and, with the nearby resturant, everything to recommend it. More

The hotel has obviously been refitted since previous reviews. Clean, tidy and now all non-smoking. Small room (on the top floor) but good bed and shower. The location is ideal, just 5 mins walk from the Belfry, with good parking outside. Reasonable bar for an Ibis with willing staff to serve at all hours. We stayed for 3 nights as... More

We had difficulty in finding the way into the car park as the whole "place" in front of the hotel was being dug up and replaced, but we got there eventually. The car park in front of the hotel doesn't really have enough spaces, but we had no problem parking. The location is very convenient for the town centre. The... More

Rooms are typical Ibis but the public rooms are all the old stonework etc. Stayed there for the Rugby World Cup (near to Lens). Whilst Lens is rather indsutrial Douai was a wonderful picturesque historic surprise. The town hall is... More

We booked this for our first night of our 7 day tour of France on a motorbike. Being on the bike I wanted secure parking which I had been lead to believe it had - it did not but I was happy enough that the bike would be ok and it was. The top floor room we were given was... More

A liitle diffiulcut to find at night as it is a coverted 17th Centrury building, rooms a little tired and could do with a revamp/. Made up for it with reasonable drinks costs and it has a pool table, which occupied the kids. Helpful reception staff who also doubled up as barman during the evening. Very good choice at breakfast... More
