Metropol Hotel

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.
