About this stay
Place d'Armes is the oldest square in Calais and the one the Tour du Guet still watches over, which puts the Breeze at the historic centre of a town that lost most of its old fabric. Rooms are done with parquet floors, wardrobes, work desks, televisions, hairdryers and private bathrooms with a bath or shower. Downstairs there is a Mediterranean restaurant, a bar, a coffee house, a shared lounge and a sun terrace, plus a lift, a 24-hour front desk and kids' meals on the menu. Private parking and a parking garage are available, which is worth having on a square this central. What sells the address is what surrounds it: the Quartier des Pecheurs is a three-minute walk, the Phare de Calais stands 400 metres away, Calais Railway Station is under a kilometre and the beach is thirteen minutes on foot. Couples rate the location at 8.9, and the old fishermen's quarter behind the harbour is the part of Calais that best repays an evening walk.

Our take
The Breeze Hotel is a central Calais three-star I would choose for convenience: Place d'Armes, 400 metres from the Phare de Calais, a Mediterranean restaurant, a bar, a sun terrace, a lift, a 24-hour front desk and private parking. A guest score of 7.7 across about 710 reviews is decent rather than exceptional, so I would book it for position and facilities, not for design.
- ✓Walk into the Quartier des Pecheurs for dinner, it is three minutes away and the fishing quarter is where the town eats.
- ✓Climb up to the Tour du Guet side of Place d'Armes at dusk, the square is at its best once the day traffic clears.
- ✓Reserve the garage in advance in summer, Place d'Armes fills quickly and street space disappears in the crossing season.
Why we love it
- A position directly on Place d'Armes and its watchtower
- Parquet floors in the rooms, rare in this price bracket
- Three minutes on foot to the Quartier des Pecheurs
- A Mediterranean restaurant and coffee house on site
