Recently opened in the former Belgian consulate, Central has just arrived in the heart of Lille. An innovative alcohol-free bar, stylish dormitories, free coworking spaces, a hidden terrace, and charming suites: this place ticks all the boxes. And yet, it’s still (almost) a secret.

A hostel with a palace vibe, in the heart of Lille

Forget right away the image of a dusty youth hostel from the '90s. Central Hostel is more like a beautifully renovated 20th-century hotel, where everything is gorgeous, super clean, and comfy. With 94 beds spread across suites, private rooms, and stylish dorms, this place has achieved the amazing feat of blending elegance and friendliness.
Proof of that: here, the blackout curtains do their job perfectly, the showers are worthy of a high-end hotel, and the decor is simply stunning. It's cozy, it's convenient, and you'll want to drop your bags here even if you’re not staying overnight.

The first 100% alcohol-free bar in Lille (and it’s delicious)

Who said you need alcohol to have a great time? Central Hostel is launching the city's first alcohol-free bar (with the support of the cellar Sanzalc), and honestly, we’re totally on board. Behind the counter, Gautier prepares a 0% Negroni, a de-alcoholized Spritz, or even "healthy party" shots.
So you can sip your mocktail in a beautiful setting while nibbling on a platter with mature cheese, well-sourced sausage, and spreads. Perfect for working during the day or simply enjoying the place with friends, all without ever having a hangover.

Free coworking, hidden terrace, events… Everything is planned!

Central is also a super convenient, free coworking spot (you just pay for your drinks), with outlets and unlimited Wi-Fi. The perfect combo to work peacefully with a view of a quiet courtyard, away from noise and cars.
And speaking of the terrace: it's just been finished! This summer, you can chill there with a cold beer, far from the crowds, in a super relaxed atmosphere. Central Hostel is also setting up a series of upcoming workshops (yoga, dance...) and even offers to privatize rooms (special mention to the pink Marie-Antoinette space for your bachelorette parties or afterworks).

In summary: an absolute favorite, must try immediately!
