Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"Good position, our stay was spoilt by the insects." (108615102)
This is an old hotel where the glory has faded. We were most pleased to be able to receeive UK channels on the TV.
We were both bitten under the bedclothes during the night, either by bedbugs or fleas. It was not mosquitoes.

Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"I booked a double room but if you had actually been a couple or a tall person then I think you would have struggled with the size of the room and bed." (107921609)
Staff were mostly helpful
The non-smoking room had been smoked in - the bathroom was tiny - I'm short and my knees touched the wall when I sat on the toilet.

Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"great weekend" (107523202)
Very clean room extremely helpful receptionist good value for money and in a quieter part of Calais but within walking distance of centre
the exterior of the hotel probably needs to be improved-much better at night when lit up!

Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"Nice hotel, good stop off point for anybody on long journey into the country. Enetretainment = Bar, tv & snooker so possibly better suited to adults. Would still recommend to families if you are just loking for a place to sleep & have breakfast before getting on with your journey." (107112274)
Short drive to eurotunnel & cite europe. Very friendly staff, nice breakfast. Very clean hotel. Able to park opposite reception which gave impression car was secure. Noticed they had a small bar on my way in but unfortunately did not get to try it. Also had free wifi. Rooms seem well sound insulated (when windows clsoed) as I didn't hear any other hotel guests.
Was quite warm so had window open which let in a bit of street noise, nothing major as Mrs & kids went stright to sleep. 4 mosquitos in room & I only managed to track & swat 3

Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"This is the fourth Calais hotel I have stayed in, and is now my first choice" (107181998)
Central location yet surprisingly quiet (apart from the occassional train), easy parking, friendly and pleasent ambience to the building, UK TV channels on flat screen, clean.
The bathroom was challenging! There was a shower curtain but knowhere to hang the shower, and the toilet was pointing into a wall so we had to get used to sitting sideways. I have come to expect these problems in French hotels!

Very clean. Good TV. Good location. Nice bar.
Very small. Bath only, no shower. Light did not work in bathroom, and we were not offered another room instead - had to use a small flashlight. Noise at night from the street below meant disturbed sleep. No restaurant, but there is one nearby.

Metropol Hotel, Calais - Reviews & Ratings"I had a few less than positive reviews about the hotel, but the price and location were compelling. We normally stay in a one star hotel in Calais devoid of any charm. The Metropol was a complete contrast - loads of charm, and wonderfully comfortable rooms situated in a great location. The staff were warm and welcoming and this hotel will definitely be our first choice when booking a hotel in Calais in future." (97467072)
Our rooms had clearly recently been refurbished. They were warm, comfortable and very clean - exactly what we wanted!

The staff were very helpfull and most sincere, it was only a short walk to the centre without the need to reside there. I did travel by motorcycle and this was left outside with no problem. Would be happy to stay again.
