    "Would stay at the Itap Hotel in Calais and not recomend this hotel to anyone" (107109005)

    The place was a dump, batteries for channel changer were held in with tape, low to no lighting in hall way, could not give adequate direction to hotel, coke machine did not work. I felt like I was staying in a war ship from World War II.

    Staff were very willing

    Food offered was not good valus for the money, and we felt that there was no option but to cancel our bookuing for the last night of our holiday.

    "Very good" (97021406)

    The hotel was clean, accessible and value for money. From the small interaction with the staff they were very friendly and willing to help

    Only slight problem with the room was slight damp in the two corners however we were unpreturbed by this as the hotel was such value for money

    "Generally adequate for a short stay and served our purpose very well. We intended to use it as a base only and spent very little time in the hotel. As visitor from the UK, tea making facilities in our room would have been nice, though not expected in France. All the staff were helpful and efficient." (97192455)

    Staff efficient, friendly and welcoming.

    Breakfast very basic, for 7eu each we decided that it was not good value and ate out for the second morning.

    "For a one-night stay for someone travelling by Eurotunnel, this was adequate. I would use the hotel again for this purpose but would not go so far as to recommend it to others." (97134086)

    It was very convenient for the Eurotunnal and the staff were very helpful.

    We asked for a non-smoking room but were given a smoking one - our clothes reeked afterwards, which is very unpleasant.

    Easy to find, close to the tunnel, ideal for the job in hand. And only a 20 minute walk into town.

    "The hotel was ideal for an overnight stay for travellers using the A16 autopista. However, the instructions for finding the hotel need to be updated. The wrong junction off the A16 was stated - apparantly the numbers have changed and also instructions were given to turn right at a set of traffic lights - these do not exist; it is now an island. The restaurant was well set out and the menu, whilst not being extensive was good and the service pleasant." (99914418)

    Clean and comfortable for an overnight stay

    No tea or coffee making facilities

    "For this price the accommodation was good value, so no complaints really except the above. I prefer the Campomile - they supply a kettle, tea/coffee which is excellent for late night arrivals and early departures, and generally a higher standard. I would book this again only if the Campomile was unavailable." (99293146)

    Easy access to Tunnel, easy to find,clean adequate rooms, quiet, secure parking

    The light switches in room were unreliable, the water took ages to heat up for a shower

    Mixer taps in bathroom. The fact that the Gendarmerie is using the hotel gives one a feeling of security

    Some rooms are very small

    "Hotel was everything that I expected. Food in restaurant was good." (99016909)

    Helpful and very friendly staff

    No smoking in building - not even chairs outside to smoke. No lampshades on side lights - probable fire hazzard as part of wooden backing had been scorched.

    from Blaenavon , GB on  June 1, 2007

    "Apart from lack of sleep, and a very breakfast, the hotel was as basic as we had expected, based upon hotels we have stayed at of a similar ilk." (99186676)

    Basic to our needs as an ovenight stop.

    Apart from the lack of choice breakfast, we were kept awake from 12 until 4am by VERY noisy kitchen(?) staff directly below us. This entirely defeated the objective of having a tiring journey of 400k back home the next day.

    "I stayed in a room on my own, I took three 15 year old boys with me (my grandson and two others), they had a room together and I was pleased to find a hotel at a reasonable price which offered three single beds. We also had breakfast at the hotel and this was perfectly adequate. Although breakfast was served between 7.00 and 9.30, the food was not taken away at 9.30 but was stocked up for those who may have been late. Very good service!" (99753822)

    "I like to stay somewhere familiar when travelling on my own. I like the staff at this hotel, the meal facilities and feel very comfortable and safe, staying there on my own. I'm quite sure that the TV remote, not working, was probably due to dead batteries and possibly not discovered, as like myself, I did not use it until very late. I also left in the early hours of the morning and the reception was still unmanned, as it quite normal at 0500hrs. This is a very clean and comfortable hotel and great value for money. It is also used by the Garnderme? on their stop overs. Makes one feel very safe. I will always book this hotel on my trips to France. Only less than 10 minutes from the Ferry Port and so close to the Motorway. Highly recommended. versight" (3305605181)

    I have stayed at this accommodation three times now and I like the familarity of the hotel.

    Other guests were noisy, returning at 0200 hrs in the morning. The remote control did not work on the TV but this was discovered after the reception was not manned.
