Auberge de Jeunesse

With a façade sporting the colours of Europe, Lille's youth hostel opened in 2015. The 55 spartan rooms have metal bunks, lockers and showers (with timer buttons), but only 12 have attached toilets. There's bike storage, a laundry and a self-catering kitchen. Wi-fi is available only in the lobby. It's 1.7km southeast of Gare Lille-Flandres.
