Hôtel Metropol

“Superb friendly hotel, all you need. Locked secure overnight garage. Clean with lovely breakfast.”

Great hotel only 10 mins from the eurotunnel and minutes from the train station. Ideal location. Family has been coming here for over 30 years for skiing stop overs and business trips. Very friendly, clean, peace and quiet.Ex value for money.

“Convenient Elegance & Great Value in Calais”

I loved this hotel--just around the corner from the train station. Couldn't see it until got to the end of the block across from many bus stops. The reception clerk was wonderful--I arrived early after a train ride from Chantilly & had booked the hotel for its value and short distance from the train station. Went for a walk to the fabulous Edwardian? City Hall just a few blocks away to see the Rodin's Burghers of Calais. The gardens were still full of flowers & lovely. I walked back through a very nice relaxing park after buying a super pastry at the shop across the street from the Marie. I then spent the evening relaxing & drinking Jupiter beer in a gorgeous bar area. The street as you approach the hotel seems a bit shabby, as are the hallways in the hotel--but it is clean & the bed is very comfortable. The room has a kettle, the bath a tub which I enjoyed; and a window that opens--wi-fi works great & the huge surprise is that the lobby area & bar are truly elegant...I hope to return...Oh, it is one of the few places left where it costs less to stay as a single than a couple!

“Unassuming at first, but a really great stay”

When you approach Calais from the southwest and pull up to the Metropol Hotel, it may look like it's not in a great area, it also has a very unassuming curb appeal. Don't let these impressions give you the wrong idea though. The location is great, with a short walk to the town hall in one direction and the Tour du Guet in the other, not to mention the train station. Inside is cozy and quiet. The lobby and bar are comfy chairs and dark wood accents. The suites are different in their styles but our room--a space plenty big for one adult, one child, and two seniors--was extremely welcoming: clean, comfortable, and accessible. We stayed here as an overnight before catching the ferry to Dover, and it was about a 12-minute cab ride to the terminal. Breakfast was an extra fee but served on property and delicious. The staff was amazing, always friendly and eager to help in French and English. We needed an extension cord and the proprietress was excited to go on a scavenger hunt to find us one. The only drawback was a weak wi-fi signal in our room, easily fixable with a repeater. Make no mistake; the Metropol Hotel isn't new, and its layout is a little quirky, but it's a great cross-section of location, price, and amenities.

“As a guest”

Lovely hotel. A bit dated but charming. But what a rip off breakfast. No hot food Abd UHT milk to boot. And when I asked if I could borrow a phone charger, the cheeky Bugga on reception said “make sure I get it back”!
