Good position for ferry
Room was not as described or pictured. Curtains had holes in them. Bed the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. No television. Bathroom like a cubicle, shower over toilet.

Friendly. Adjoining room great for family.
Not the hotel's fault, but noisy at night with revellers in the street.

The rooms were both comfortable and clean.
The hot water was a little hit and miss as to whether it came on or not.

Basic but fine for the price, location ok, no breakfast but it’s cheap
The walls were paper thin, you could hear everything taking place on the floor and it was impossible to sleep due to the noise throughout the building - dog whining in the next door room, shouts, a couple who came home drunk and then argued before having sex. We didn’t sleep at all. It would be basic but fine if there was some kind of sound insulation but without that I wouldn’t stay here again.

reception guy friendly and speakers fluent English and the position of hotel is perfect ,next to Calais city center and train station, you won't find this price elsewhere around this area, so good if you're expected a one night stay here, highly recommend for passengers taking p&o ferrys Calais to Dover as a foot passenger, this is a good place for you to spend your night, and free shuttle bus to ferry terminal from 0802 to 1907 7days a week stops 2 step away from hotel door, remember the check-in of ferry stops 90min before departure.
the external door been locked and lights turned off on ground floor when I arrived, make me confused that the hotel has closed, you have to ring a doorbell to call someone to open the door for you, the room is in expected with this price, bathroom can be improved due to their size, cause problems to sitting on toilet, I have to sit in a weird position due to hashbasin, the wifi is extremely terrible, I have to reconnect it once and once to get internet, so I just use my own mobile data, with poor signal inroom, still no one in the reception desk when I'm going to check out, so I leave the key in reception desk.

Siad the manager met us on arrival and made us most welcome. He offered to drive us to a distant station early the next day as no busses were travelling. He was a wonderful host.

Close to ferry
Tiny room, remote for TV didn't work because battery cover was missing, no heating, tiny toilet/shower cubicle, no shower curtain, if I had showered, water would have drenched even the toilet. No one there when I came, door locked, number to call had a message in French, second number finally connected to someone in hotel. Loud. Not even a rubbish bin in room.

10 min by car to the Eurotunnel, cheap.
I regret not paying more to stay somewhere decent. This is probably one of the worst hotels I've stayed in. Bed isn't comfy, cushions are just all lumpy and the bathroom smelled so bad we had to hold our breath when we went in. No proper shower, a wet room meaning water goes everywhere, no shower curtain and no water pressure.

Location was convenient for the railway station and buses to the ferry. The room was basic but comfortable.
It was very noisy from the street. Also, I had no towels or soap and there was no-one in reception to find me any.

small and found some questionable things inside the suite.

The owner is genuine. He has recently completed a partial refurbishment during the covid period and taken over management. The bedrooms are newly decorated and all the bedding is new. The stairways remain as before but for me that is no problem - you don't sleep on the stairways! This is definitely now the most comfortable hotel to stay in around the 50 euro .
Nothing you can do about it, the hotel is on the Rue Royale which has many bars that stay open past midnight at weekends, do be aware before booking especially in Summer if you are a light sleeper and need the window open.

Great location but as this was centre of town a bit noisy. The owner/staff were very friendly and made me very welcome.
A bit dated and could be brought up to date a bit more. The noise level on the street was a bit much.

It's near the beach.
It's dirty and it smells. There are hairs all over the floor. There was also no heater.
