Single traveller, very safe, clean hotel
Stayed here before and chose this time because I was travelling alone. Feels very safe. Very easy to find. Car parking undercover is payable but safe and secure. Only downside this time was a noise like something inside the walls, could have been plumbing, don't know.

Dear Sir,How can you put a note of 1 out of 5 while your room was a suite of more than 45 m2 with two king size beds, chersterfield living room, wall-mounted flat screen, bathroom and shower, separate toilet, for a rate of 95,19 ! ! I think that given the current context with increases (gas, electricity, food, etc.) the room rate was not very expensive .Have a good day

We have check in hotel 11 pm but as soon as we go to room all lights gone we go asked reception to come check and he said our room have issues with lights so route and behaviour talk to us he refused change room and give money back or do something at least my children scares of darkness and in morning management of hotel just been so nasty and rude as well didn’t do nothing never ever again highly recommend don’t go to rubbish hotel like them just charge you for nothing the took money in hotel from me about tv £3.70 but no electric So nasty
Response from P.VDB on 9 Jan 2023
Dear Madam, Of course we do not thank you for your bad and partly wrong comment.Indeed, there was an electrical problem (only on the bedside lamps) the rest was working normally also the TV (included in the price of the room).You refused the change of room that was offered to you; you only wanted an additional discount when you already had a discount on the room at the time of booking.You were very rude to the hotel staff (middle finger!!!)Don't worry, we don't want customers like you either.

Great stay and well located.
Lovely old fashioned hotel, we had the suite which was huge and would be ideal for a family. Only suggestion would be to have a fridge in the room but otherwise a great stay. Well located being almost next door to the railway station and just a short walk into the main town.

1970's decor. Damp stains on the walls. Tired hotel, tired area, although not too far from restaurants etc. Staff pleasant enough but I wouldn't stay again, nor recommend it to others.

Seriously worthwhile
I've stayed in Calais a lot, but never previously at the Metropol. It is now firmly on my list and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Easy to park on the street outside. If that were full, there is the humongous free sncf car park opposite. Cheery welcome. Thoroughly comfortable room (in fact I overslept). Contrary to some older reviews, the bathroom was excellent and modern. Heating easy to adjust (and a good upvc window). Breakfast was good and the patron kindly rustled up some scrambled eggs for me. Location is mid way between old town and new town, which is v convenient - drinks are best at Le Chill in the old town; my preferred restaurant (well, estaminet) is Le Calice, towards the new town.

Charming!
This hotel is a real piece of 'original' France - but so well managed and kept spotless. It's a simple place but with a pleasant bar and a breakfast room. Breakfast itself is excellent. The hotel is also within walking distance of a host of bars and restaurants.I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Calais
