Title: Nice Hotel near Calais
Post by: Simon.Pieman on 14 October 2017, 05:42:58 pm
 Am riding up from Tours to Calais in November and then on to a ferry to UK. I can probably do that in one hit but if the wearther is rotten I'll probably get a hotel near Calais and cross the next morning. Can anyone reccomend a good one near enough to the port? I usually use the Ibis just out of town but fancy a different one this time preferably near a nice bar/restaurant. Secure parking of course.

Cheers. I've looked at some of those already on the Airbnb site. . Have you stayed in any of them?
Was hoping somone on here has found a particular place that they have used before.

I've stayed in montreuil-sur-mer at the best western there. That was ok. About 45 mins from Calais.

I organise the annual trip to Europe for myself and the lads (usually 10 to 15 of us) and every year I always spend hours looking at different hotels in Calais for the last night piss up before we come back to the mainland. I always end up booking us all into the Premier Classe hotel opposite the railway station in the centre of Calais. Its a bum basic cheap hotel but it is close to the bars and restaurants and we park the bikes in a nice car park which is tucked out of the way with plenty of space and is overlooked by the hotel rooms.
Not a particularly nice hotel, but we like it because its so handy for everything.

But saying all that, last year in January, I booked us all into a hotel with balconies and sea views, cheap too! Then I get an email from them in May saying that they have had to cancel all the rooms as they were shutting the hotel down, so I booked the Premier Classe again. The strange thing was, when we went to have a look, the hotel was open and holidaymakers were going in and out, the bar was open, people checking in, etc. I think what they had done is sold the rooms in January for €40 a room, then realised that they could get over twice that if they had the rooms available, so they cancelled ours and booked new people in at a higher rate. Bastards!
