Spacious bunk bed, personal storage for a backpack (not for suitcases). Didn't try bar but it was very busy. Ideally situated in the heart of Lille old town and paid parking until 7pm on the doorstep of hostel.
Great first experience of a hostel! I felt totally safe as a solo female traveller, the hostel was clean, modern and the staff were friendly. It was also in a lovely part of the town!
Check in was fine
The family villa is very specious and comfortable, the 2nd floor wood has some holes in it which made my kids afraid to walk on the floor.
Shower had very weak ventilation and therefore was smelly after short use

Nice location but beds too small and squeaky. Showers also very small and not very functional. The facility gets too noisy all over the night.
A private room with private bathroom was booked over a few weekdays. We saw a "present" in the toilet and trash already in the bathroom trash upon arrival, but the rest of the room including floor was clean (It looked like someone sat on the bed though). The rest of the stay was great with peaceful evenings, good sleep, clean/fast elevator. The top floor of the building was quieter than a hotel even with lively bar area downstairs, so people who want noise can have noise, and also people who want quiet can have quiet. Breakfast was satisfying (not donuts) and replenished when needed. Location was within one mile of a major train station/bus depot, stores/supermarkets, parks/cathedrals, restaurants/bars. Staff happy to speak English. Stay was pleasant.

A good vibe in the bar area in the evening. Noise from bar area not noticeable in our rooms. Great staff, decent self catering facilities if required. We stayed in the villa room, my wife and I downstairs, 3 adult kids upstairs. The bathroom is ensuite with our room but not a problem, shared bathrooms for communal use are 30s walk from the room.. The worst thing for us was the cold: the central heating for the room and the living space wasn't working, not good for late January.
I liked the area which is a monument of France and the nearby park, I didn't like the fact of not being able to see the Roland Garros because they don't have a TV.
Also Breakfast did not seem that appealing for the price.
There was no clarity as to where the C10 could be found, the exits of the Gare are multiple. It would help if it was described as on the same pavement as the Lille Europa station.

Le petit déjeuner n'est pas vraiment à la hauteur, le choix est très restreint surtout si on veut manger autre chose qu'un croissant. Le 2e jour, le pain etait dur, il datait de la veille, difficile à couper.
La vaisselle du matin n'est pas propre, des cuilleres sales sont mélangées dans un pot avec celles qui sont propres.
La chambre est propre mais très petite, le velux laisse passer l'air et son rideau obstruant ne tient que grâce à des bouts de scotch.
L'immeuble bouge au passage de vehicules dans la rue et fait trembler les portes. Le chauffage ne réchauffe pas la pièce. Il faut prévoir un pyjama.
Le personnel est gentil, on peut laisser les bagages en sécurité pour 2 € et c'est un vrai plus.
L'endroit était plutôt calme que ce soit le bruit extérieur ou intérieur.
