So lovely to stay in the property. Benoit was very kind and welcoming. Helpful introduction and information on the local area. Obviously, work is being done on the property but this caused no inconvenience. Loved the simplicity in the design, super comfortable beds and great location.

Not an hotel.
I don't think this place should be called a hotel. The "lobby" is a bare hallway, there are no staff, even though the reviews mention them, the whole building is being renovated and halls, stairs etc. are wooden and noisy. We thought we had booked a balcony room but didn't get one. There is a hand held shower only over the bath and apologetic notices everywhere about the work. Large bed, comfortable and clean. A very basic, very central stay with free parking outside, very close to restaurants and art museum. If your priority is a bargain then you will be happy. We were glad only one other couple seemed to be staying. Stiff climb to out 3rd floor room so not for everyone.

I didn't actually stay at the hotel. I booked 2 weeks in advance and the day before I was due to travel I was sent a text informing me that they would be closed on the night of my stay and that I should book somewhere else.

Ideal for a short stopover in Calais
Clean, comfortable, great location. Simple room but perfect for a short stay. Friendly, helpful owner. Be aware that the building is being renovated so the initial appearance might be off-putting. Don’t worry, though. It doesn’t detract from the stay.

Charming, character-full little hotel, under restoration by the owner. Spotlessly clean room, very good value, excellent location in the heart of Calais. Secure parking for a small extra fee. Just across the road from a pretty public park.

Great find
Upgraded to self contained apartment at no extra cost. Superb!!. Hotel undergoing renovation but still spotless and staff could not have been friendlier.. so convenient for ferries and town (5min walk) with whole host of restaurants. Free parking right opposite hotel. Definitely recommended and will stay there next time in Calais.Didnt have breakfast so can’t comment.

Friendly, comfortable, convenient.
Friendly welcome from Benoît, who is engaged in the long term project of singlehandedly upgrading the entire hotel. My room was certainly lovely, with a magnificent bath and a very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Good wifi, and power points where you need them! Nice location opposite the Parc Richelieu and easy parking. Everything within easy walking distance. Excellent value.

Small hotel run by Benoit on his own. Refurbishment work ongoing but this only affects the looks of the corridors. Rooms were fine and no noise problems at all. Would happily use again next time I need an overnight in Calais

A great place to stay in Calais.
A very nice private hotel, directly opposite the Richelieu Park in Calais. Juliette, the lady who appears to be managing the place, was very helpful indeed, recommending a couple of very good restaurants close by. In fact, one of the main streets is literally around the corner, and there were plenty of places to eat. An excellent all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast is provided. The hotel is being renovated at the moment, and so the public areas are rather spartan, but I'm sure it will be lovely once all the work is finished.

Quirky
My wife and I love this quirky place, each room differently decorated, we look forward to staying in a different one each time. It is in the process of a slow, quiet renovation as more rooms open up. Benoit, the host, is very polite and attentive and there is a reasonable spread for the cold breakfast. Centrally located with private parking at a small charge in an enclosed yard, or plenty of on-street parking immediately outside, with the park facing the hotel. 5mins walk from the train station and the same to the Place des Armes with cafes, bars and restaurants. 5mins drive from the ferry, and 10mins from the tunnel

Good location. Very comfortable bed. Hotel under renovation but this had no negative impact on the room. However, the nice TV had no reception. We were told its the area in town that had no reception. World Cup year and no reception in a Hotel in a city like Calais? Staying in Calais every year for the last decade and never had that problem.

Very nice and helpful host, great location, good rooms with character. Free parking in adjacent streets and you can also use private hotel parking for a fee. The hotel was undergoing refurbishment so it's a bit unfair to evaluate condition.

Great overnight stay.
Fantastic hospitality, hotel being renovated by owner so some parts not completed but more than compensated for by the staff. Location is great 5 minutes to restaurants and bars, 10 minutes from the ferry. Secure parking is a bonus and although close to centre there seemed to be little or no traffic noise at night and we had the window open all night. We will be back.
