Living in Lille: tips and advice

If you haven’t found a room before starting your new life in Lille, don’t panic! Lille offers a lot of accommodation like cheap hotels and hostels, we may recommend you the Gastama – Backpacker hostel which is pretty nice and has good quality, situated in the Old Town at 109 rue de St André. As a student, we recommend you some nice and dynamic areas for student life. You have the “République Beaux-Arts” area, it is extremely practical for the students who have not a car because it is really central, you can access to the city center on foot. No more than 15 minutes! The rooms are pretty affordable. We recommend you the “Gambetta-Solférino” area and the “Quartier Vauban” area which are the most animated student areas in Lille and really nice if you like going out for a drink or dancing. The rooms are cheap and nice there.
