ibis Styles Calais Centre

The hotel is very well located in the very centre of Calais in walking distance of some very good restaurants, the best being Le Chanel. It is modern feeling with quite a young vibe. Although there were people of all ages staying there. The front desk wenre helpful and welcoming. We were on the third floor and the lift is good and very quiet. In fact, both our room and our friend's room were very quiet-well sound proofed. Breakfast was a revelation with a very friendly female staff member on duty for the first two mornings. There is an excellent buffet style breakfast with very good choice-excellent cheeses for example and fresh orange juice. It was a very reasonable place to stay. Calais is often overlooked but has worked really hard to create a busy identity and is an easy place to spend a few days. Free little bus in the town and easy access to the huge hypermarket-in summer the beaches are good. We always visit the Cheese and Wine shop which is linked to the Channel restaurant--very good wines and cheeses.

The women at the desk when I first got there were extremely helpful. I was having difficulty buying a ticket for the ferry the next morning online. They worked very hard on their computers to resolve the issue, but couldn’t. One of them simply suggested that I go down to the pier to try to purchase a ticket… It worked. Without the help of Isabelle, Eloise, or Lorene I might have been in big trouble. So thank you very much, ladies. And the breakfast is excellent.

We booked a family room, I loved that this comprised of two rooms without an adjoining door, which gave everyone a bit of space. The beds were comfy and the room had a spacious bathroom. We prebooked a parking space around the back and in was in a secure gated compound with access to the hotel. We had breakfast included and this was plentiful, with lots of choice for everyone. We had full stomachs when we checked out. The hotel is in a great location next to a bakery and close to several restaurants and bars. It is also close to the beach too. We stayed there as were travelling on the tunnel the next day, it is only 20mins to the tunnel.

Easy to reach from the port, with comfortable accommodation, effective sound proofing with the windows closed and blackout curtains. Bar is open until midnight for residents. Good selection for breakfast (pastries, cold meats, cheese, cereals, boiled eggs, pancakes, 3-4 types of bread.

Very good location in Calais. Nice modern hotel. Breakfast choice was good and prices were reasonable. Also staff on front desk were helpful even though there was a mix up with all our bookings.
