Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is a real selling point for cross-Channel travel, especially for ferry journeys, with a restaurant that's a great convenience for tired travelers. However, the room had a strong unpleasant odor that made sleeping impossible, and the dining experience needed improvement with delays and lack of preparation apparent.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and fairly comfortable, but my room was situated right in front of the main door to the corridor, making it very noisy at times. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for my late ferry arrival, although the area of Calais seemed a bit run down. The dining options were adequate but not exceptional, and the pricing was reasonable overall.
The hotel is ideal for a short stay or overnight stop. The rooms, though a bit hot and airless at first, were adequate and equipped enough for our stay with pets. The service was terrific, especially in accommodating late arrivals and being helpful with various requests. The location was just what we needed, though a small mistake in dinner orders occurred. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise with excellent value for money. Overall, a convenient stop between Calais and the UK, though a bit pricey for some amenities.
My stay was a bit mixed. The room, although small and noisy with people coming and going, was clean and had essential amenities for a short stay. However, the smell of smoke in the middle of the night was disturbing. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, making the service efficient and welcoming. The hotel location, although ideal for the ferry terminal and recently refitted, was in a rough area. The dining experience was enjoyable but seemed unprepared at times. Overall, decent value for a one-night stay.
The hotel is conveniently located off the autoroute and on the road to the ferry, making it great for travelers by car. The rooms, though small, surprise with en suite bathrooms. The service, efficient but slightly cold, got us charged only for one breakfast even arriving after kitchen closing. The dining experience, while fresh and plentiful, struggled with running out of essentials briefly. The facilities overall were to the usual Ibis standard, providing good value for money.
The hotel has some practical reasons to consider staying again, despite the rooms smelly cigarette smoke and being a bit dated. The service was amazing, with lovely staff and a good bed for a stopover. The location, although a bit rough and draughty, serves well for ferry travelers. The dining experience was adequate with a buffet-style continental breakfast. Overall, a decent choice for a short stay.
