Questions and answers – La Maison Fives
Three useful things to know before you arrive
Here are the three most useful things to know before arriving at La Maison Fives:
Self check-in from 3 pm
24 hours before you arrive, we send you all the essential information by message: the front-door code, your room number and the Wi-Fi details.
An easy-to-find entrance
The house is on the corner of rue Denis du Péage. Enter through the blue door with a keypad.
Parking near the house
Street parking is free from 7 pm to 9 am, and from Friday at 7 pm until Monday at 9 am.
If you are coming by car, booking the Zenpark car park, a 2-minute walk away, is often the easiest option. Parking in Lille can quickly become a hassle without a little planning, but Zenpark or some organisation makes it straightforward.
