B&B Hotel Calais Terminal Cité de l'Europe 2

Hôtel propre normal

Faultless place expected the worst, but it was the best Newly refurbished room breakfast was faultless and minutes from channel tunnel. We will definitely stay here again with the most secure car park in france as the police stay in the 3 hotels in this courtyard

This place is a cheap bed for the night. That's it. The room is very basic. Lacking in furnishings of any kind. The ventilation makes the room a little chilly on leaving the shower. There wasn't any toilet paper in my room on arrival and no staff at reception to rectify. Fortunately, a bed for the night and a hot shower was all I was after.

Very basic; small room; way overpriced for what you get; but at least got a (somewhat) funny story out of it My first surprise coming here was when I went into the B & B hotel lobby and was told, "No sorry, this is the B & B 4-star, your hotel is next door." So then I went next door and was told "No sorry, this is the B & B 3-star, YOUR HOTEL IS OUT BACK BY THE PARKING". (all in French of course!) Yes, unknown to me, and probably unknown to many others, the so-called B&B hotel chain operates a 2-star, a 3-star and a 4-star hotel all on the same site! What a strange way to confuse customers! Is B&B Hotels trying to be all things to all people? So with that out of the way I trudged out back to my 2-star accomodation, only to find that it is almost identical with an Ibis-Budget. Not a room you would like to spend any time in. Small room with just the basics. Very disappointing for 75 euros! I was really expecting something a lot better. Also, why call your hotel a B&B if breakfast isn't included? This violates the whole concept of what a B&B is. Breakfast here is an extra item, but based on the general quality of the hotel, I didn't have much confidence it will be very good. I had to get downtown to the station by 10 am on a Sunday, and when the bus didn't turn up at 8am I decided I'd better not risk the next one turning up. I ended up trudging all the way to the centre, a good 2.5 miles by a non-pedestrianised way. It was fun though and It reminded me of hitchhiking around France 30 years ago. On the positive side, there are several nice eating choices a short walk away. The hotel is a 5 min walk to cite Europe with a very good food court. The Flunch serves French food cafeteria style at bargain prices. There is also a good burger place there. Still the words "YOUR HOTEL IS OUT BACK BY THE PARKING" will forever remain in my memory as sort of B&B hotels slogan.

This is a pretty standard Ibis Budget hotel which (in my room at least) has been refreshed fairly recently with a new paint job. Arrived late so checked in through a machine. Room clean and warm. Basic but all you need for a night. What was less impressive was the crowd of teens running up and down until 1am slamming doors and shouting. Once they had finished I had a good sleep. Plenty of parking, excellent location right by the Channel Tunnel. Didn’t have breakfast here and no interactions with staff.
