About this stay
Calais keeps its museums in a tight cluster in Calais-Nord, and the Richelieu sits inside it, less than fifty metres from the Musee des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle. This is a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel, and the scale shows: breakfast served daily, a bar guests are invited into, a shared lounge with television, daily housekeeping and luggage storage. Rooms carry free WiFi, a flat-screen television, an electric kettle, linen, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with bath or shower and a hairdryer, and several have extra long beds over two metres. The balconies are the distinguishing feature, opening onto the park across the street rather than onto a boulevard, and the property adds a garden, a terrace and a sun terrace of its own. Private parking and a parking garage are available on site for an extra daily charge. The beach on the Digue Gaston Berthe is a quarter of an hour away on foot, and couples rate this location at 9.4, the highest score in Calais.
- Bed and breakfast with daily breakfast and a bar
- Park-view balconies and city-view rooms
- Garden, terrace and sun terrace
- Private parking and garage at extra cost
Our take
Hôtel Richelieu is a small Calais bed and breakfast I would pick for a quiet stay near the Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle: park-view balconies, extra-long beds, a garden, a sun terrace and daily breakfast. A guest score of 8.4 across about 860 reviews is good. Parking and the garage cost extra, and the beach is a fifteen-minute walk.
- ✓Ask explicitly for a park-facing balcony room, the balconies overlook the park and the interior rooms are a different proposition.
- ✓Book the on-site parking garage when you reserve, it costs extra per day and cannot be sorted out after a late crossing.
- ✓Visit the lace museum on a wet Opal Coast morning, it is fifty metres away and the Leavers looms run whatever the weather.
Why we love it
- Balconies looking straight onto the park opposite
- Fifty metres from the Musee des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle
- Extra long beds over two metres available
- A garden and sun terrace behind a town-centre address
