About this stay
Calais runs on port traffic, and the most valuable feature a hotel in the centre can offer is silence. Metropol Hotel soundproofs its rooms, which is unusual on this side of the Pas-de-Calais and the reason light sleepers end up here. The rooms are modern, with free WiFi, a flat-screen television with satellite channels and a private bathroom with a hairdryer, and there is room service. Downstairs the bar takes the form of an English-style pub, with leather armchairs, comfortable seating areas and a snooker table, and a buffet breakfast is prepared every morning. Pets are accepted and family rooms are available. The address on Quai du Rhin puts guests a two-minute walk from the train station, ten minutes on foot from the Calais Lace Museum and five from the Museum of Fine Arts, with restaurants, theatres and cafes in the surrounding streets. A private garage is available at an extra cost, which is worth taking on a quay this close to the water.
- Soundproofed rooms with satellite television
- Bar with snooker table and lounge seating
- Buffet breakfast served daily
- Private garage available at extra cost
Our take
I would choose Metropol Hotel for its position on Quai du Rhin in central Calais, two minutes on foot from the train station. Rooms are soundproofed, with free WiFi, a flat-screen television with satellite channels and a private bathroom with hairdryer, and a buffet breakfast is served daily. The English-style pub bar, with leather armchairs and a snooker table, gives the hotel character. A private garage costs extra. A 7.8 rating from nearly two thousand reviews is fair for a three-star.
- ✓Confirm the garage when you book, it is private and chargeable and Quai du Rhin has little space in the crossing season.
- ✓Spend an hour in the pub with the snooker table, it is the one hotel bar in Calais that locals treat as a bar.
- ✓Walk to the Calais Lace Museum in the morning, ten minutes away, before the Opal Coast weather turns in the afternoon.
Why we love it
- Soundproofed rooms in a working port town
- An English-style pub with leather armchairs and snooker
- A two-minute walk from Calais-Ville train station
- Ten minutes on foot from the Calais Lace Museum
