Calais Weekend
I go to Calais several times a year for a weekend of shopping, dining and sightseeing. Hotel Victoria is now our favourite place to stay. Good price but more especially for its good location. Easy parking nearby. Easy walking distance from the beach, but also close to the city centre restaurants. Some hotels can be noisy from traffic or bars but the Hotel Victoria is very quiet. Easy to reach from the Tunnel but especially convenient for the ferries.

Perfect for our needs
Stayed for one night after arriving on a late-night ferry. We wanted somewhere inexpensive, clean, reasonably comfortable, a short drive from the port and walkable to restaurants and bars. This place turned out perfectly. Check-in was quick and easy, the room itself was basic but it was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower water hot - all you really need for a pitstop before heading onwards.

Excellent value for the price
The Victoria is excellent value for the price which was £170 for the two of us for one twin-bedded room for three nights without breakfast. It's clean and reasonably comfortable and very centrally located. Bathroom was quite small. No breakfast room but guests can opt to have continental breakfast delivered to their rooms. We opted for a nearby café instead. I would definitely stay here again. It's not a luxury hotel but we weren't paying luxury hotel prices.

Room was clean and the lady greeting us was really nice. However, there was no air conditioner or even a fan. The TV had bad reception so sometimes didn't work and we were promised wifi which only came for a day. Other than that, it done the job.

Quick overnight in Calais. The main problem with this room is there are no outlets - at all - you cannot charge your devices. Needless to say, no WIFI either.

Bed was a little too small for 2. Staff was good people. Cleanliness was good. No way it's a 3.9 hotel. Overall rating is 2.5. or a solid 2. No free internet, but hotel is within walking distance of transportation and some major sightseeing areas. Some North Africans loitering several blocks away.

Brilliant place let down by pillows/ventilation
Excellent service, wonderful staff and amazing value. I got all the help I requested from both owners of the hotel and breakfast was promptly delivered by a cheerful and very pleasant woman. However, the pillows on my bed were uncomfortable and more like draught excluders! If there were larger and more comfortable pillows, I may have slept more easily. Also, my room was red hot and would have benefitted from a fan and/or air con. Opening the window on ground floor wasn't always an option, as it was a lively neighbourhood at all hours. It was a very pleasant and friendly neighbourhood though I must add. :) I took the ground floor room, as physical impairments would mean struggling to lift a case upstairs and I didn't want to have to worry about having to hassle people when I was ready to leave. The hotel itself is situated in an ideal location that allows access to many services, restaurants and even a supermarket round the corner. Would definitely return here if I'm ever in Calais again but probably bringing my own rectangular pillow just in case that situation hasn't improved.

Scary
More like a hostel than a hotel. The shower was about 24 x 24 inches and I kept hitting the water handle and turning it off as I showered cuz it was so small. Bad neighborhood. No phone. No internet. No plugs. TV was very small with 4 channels all in French and the volume wouldn't go above 10. Electric toilet was added to the room and when you flush it the whole floor shook. All in all, this hotel was very unsettling and I would not recommend it to anyone even for a one night stay. There was no service to speak of. After we checked in, the attendant handed us a key to the front door because he was leaving.

Good for overnight stop
Clean, comfortable hotel with better than expected shower. Window faced lighthouse but it didn't cause us any problems. Quiet neighbourhood but eating places nearby and short walk to beach. Shower and loo separated from bedroom by concertina plastic folding door that doesn't reach right to the floor. Hosts welcoming and pleasant. Cannot comment on breakfast in room as we went out to eat. Appears to be only French programmes available on TV. All in all a satisfactory stay if overnighting.

Very good for Ferry crosings
It was adquate, I think its situation is ideal being so close to the ferries. It is also convenient for town and shops/restaurants (walking distance) but the room layout left a lot to be desired, it was clean but the door to the toilet was no more than a plastic concertina sliding cover and the same applied to the seperate bathroom which didn;t leave much space for a bedroom or anywhere for clothes, even for an overnight stay. Breakfast although seved in your room as there was no dining area was very good.

Hotel Victoria in Calais, France
This hotel has clean and quiet rooms, with friendly owners and is close to the ferry terminal. It is also a short stroll to the main street for cafes and restaurants, and is ideal for a day or two stay.

I'm guessing most people who are spending the night in Calais are doing so as a stop off to go somewhere else. That was my case anyway, I wanted a bed after getting off the ferry from Dover and the hotel is ideally situated 3minutes (on the satnav) from off the ferry, and a very short walk to the town. Unlike the other reviewer on here we were given a groundfloor room away from the lighthouse so I can't speak about that. The hotel is best described as a Blackpool B&B in Calais. Budget and no frills, it does everything it needs to do. The bed was comfortable, breakfast was nice, and the lady who brought it was very friendly and cheerful. The main guy had patience to persevere with my French although whether this was for his amusement, out of respect or because he couldn't speak English, I don't know! In short, it's ok, nothing special but good for one night if you're on your way to somewhere else, and any money you can save before you get to your destination is extra spending money!!
