About this stay
The address does the work here. Brit Hotel Calais sits on rue des Soupirants in the middle of the Pas-de-Calais port town, 850 metres from Calais-Ville station, 1.9 kilometres from the ferry terminal and 1.8 kilometres from the lighthouse that marks the Courgain Maritime quarter. Rooms are straightforward rather than decorative: flat-screen television, wardrobe, desk, private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, all reached by lift. Downstairs there is a bar, a shared lounge with television and a games room, and breakfast can be taken in the room. The front desk runs around the clock and the property is non-smoking throughout, with key card access, CCTV in the common areas and 24-hour security. Accessibility is unusually well covered for the Opal Coast, with wheelchair access, a toilet with grab rails and facilities for guests with reduced mobility. The beach along the Digue Gaston Berthe is 2.4 kilometres west.

Our take
I see Brit Hotel Calais as a practical stopover before or after a Channel crossing: the ferry terminal is 1.9 km away, the front desk works 24 hours and there are family rooms and a games room. It is wheelchair accessible with an adapted bathroom and a lift. Guests rate it 7.4 from 236 reviews, so treat it as a functional night rather than a destination.
- ✓Walk the 850 metres to Calais-Ville station the evening before an early train, the route is flat and lit through the centre.
- ✓Ask for breakfast in the room if you are catching a morning crossing, it is offered here and saves waiting for the dining room.
- ✓Book between June and September if you want the beach, it is 2.4 kilometres away and the Opal Coast wind decides the rest.
Why we love it
- A games room and shared lounge, rare at this price in Calais
- Wheelchair access and a toilet with grab rails on site
