Avis : B&B Hotel Calais Centre St Pierre

bonne experience

Bon hôtel

Convenient for the ferries. Parking on site is difficult at busy times as there were a lot of big trucks taking up 3 parking lots each. Far from the city centre. The only eatery nearby is American fast food Memphis Cafe or McDonalds. No air conditioning in the room nor a kettle or fridge.

I picked this hotel as it is ideally located near the channel tunnel. Literally about 5 minutes drive. My only issue was when checking in. I was extremely tired from having driven 7 hours to be told that my booking had not been paid for! I had 100% paid and I had the receipt to show them but it took them about half an hour to finally see that trip.com had sent the money. By this time I was at crying point as so tired I just wanted to go to my room. Bearing in mind they were both speaking in French so I didn’t have a clue what they were saying either, it was really stressful. I messaged trip.com and they were extremely helpful and the issue was sorted a few minutes after that, so I wish I’d done that in the beginning but was not sure what the problem was at that point as could not understand them. There was also a couple behind me who had the same problem. Once I’d got over that, the hotel itself was absolutely fine. I went back down to reception and the lady was really helpful with giving me directions etc. I didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that but I got a hot chocolate out of their machine for a few euros and that was really nice. The room was quite small but that didn’t bother me as just a place to sleep for the night before my journey the next day. I would stay here again as convenient for Chanel tunnel.

The staff were welcoming, the location is excellent, and free parking is available. It's a great stopover for a short rest before heading to the port.

Well, done team B&B
