Grand Hôtel Lille

While this well-priced hotel isn't as grand as its name suggests, it has 34 spotless, modern rooms (superior rooms have kettles and safes), 24-hour reception, and a handy location just 50m from Gare Lille-Flandres and 200m from the old town. There's a lift in the building but stops are between floors so there are still a handful of steps.
