hotel for young family in December

We are thinking of going to Lille by Eurostar just before Xmas for 2 nights, and are after a recommendation for a hotel. We are a family of 4 - with children aged 6 and 4 and are primarily going for the Xmas market so would like to be wihin easy walking distance. We would prefer quite a nice standard of accommodation and also we would want to be in the same room so would need a suite or large family room ( interconnectiong rooms are not an option). Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Have a look at Tripadvisor reviews for SuiteHotel Lille Europe.





Close to Lille Europe and easy walking distance to Xmas market and city centre.





They have family rooms for £70 per night in December.

Just to back up the previous comment - the suitehotel have large 30sqm rooms and can do a double + 2 single beds. The rooms have slide across dividers to partition the room if needed.



cheers

sorry to jump on your thread but didn%26#39;t want to start a second so similar.





just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions - we too are travelling in december with a 4yr old and a 18m old.





We are staying 2 or 3 nights 13/14/15 dec and need parking (but that doesn%26#39;t have to be included in price) but the rate for suitehotel is £127 a night plus extras which is more than we want to pay really.





Just want a room that is clean not too fussed about anything else. On the 15th will be getting train down to DLP for the day so would like to be nearish to train station as will get back late with the kids.





thank you

hi there. where did you get the £127 a night quote from? Was that including the parking? Our room is costing us £70 a night(no parking or breakfast). We also saved £11 on total cost of our train/hotel by booking the hotel through Eurostar.




|||



i%26#39;ve tried loads of booking websites and thats the cheapest i%26#39;ve got it - maybe it%26#39;s those dates but we%26#39;re restricted to dd%26#39;s school holidays... what days are you going?





we%26#39;re driving thru the tunnel this time, did eurostar last year and it was a bit of a nightmare with buggy and luggage etc...




|||



the hotel%26#39;s own website quoted us around £76 and I would have booked on there had Eurostar not given us that little bit extra!. We%26#39;re going sat 18th Dec - day after school breaks up round here.

Well it looks like the suitehotel have stopped their weekend offerings in December, which has in effect increased their night rate to about £120 for Friday and Saturday nights and £127 for all other nights.





The 3 night weekend specials (Friday - Sunday) at about £54 a night are available till end November%26#39;ish and January.





Well that%26#39;s put the stop on our plans for a weekend in Lille in December, as the Hilton in London works out cheaper.





Whether eurostar can offer hotel inclusive deals at the old reduced rate, remains to be seen.





cheers

that%26#39;s a shame. I%26#39;m not sure what dates you decided on but I just had a quick look on the hotel website and if you were to go on sat 12th for 3 nights it would be £87 per night. Not quite as cheap as mine, but a lot less that £120!




|||



The rates seem to vary depending on whether you are staying friday, saturday, sunday and combinations there-off.





It%26#39;s a shame - as we were looking forward to our usual visit to lille.

Have a look at Hotel Continental.





They have a family room with two double beds at around £83 per night in December.
