What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Calais-Centre by IHG is praised for its convenient location near the ferry/tunnel and harbour, friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms, though dated decor and occasional maintenance issues are noted.

Many mention sea or harbour views, but traffic and mechanical noise affect some rooms, and parking ranges from free on-street spaces to a limited paid garage that can be full during local events. Breakfast is frequently rated good, though some call it average or pricey, and evening meals are not always available. Overall, this is a practical stopover for travellers in transit.

Parking is mixed: many use free on-street spaces, while the paid garage is limited, can block cars, and may be unavailable during events. Bar service exists but atmosphere is modest, the restaurant is not always open, and the hotel is pet friendly.

The hotel advertising parking. However, this is not the case, parking is on the public street. We had a van full of camping / bikes equipment, so it was a worry all evening. The hotel was loud, you could hear the gentleman having a wee in the room above our heads, poor soundproofing. Lots of doors slamming through the evening. This hotel felt like the cheapest type of budget hotel, not what you would expect from a Holiday Inn.

We have stayed here many times and always found it to be a great location with easy parking. The upgraded rooms are excellent - could do with more towels if 4 people in room though! This time the team situation seemed a little odd? Not as welcoming and experienced as previous visits, a bit disorganised. The bar experience could also be improved as the lights are always off in the seating area so you don't know whether it is ok to sit or not! We will re-visit based on previous stays and location - there is a fantastic choice of restaurants nearby

Oreillers peu confortables, ménage à revoir (miettes sur les chaises de bureau), problème d’évacuation dans la douche. Un seul petit ascenseur pour un établissement avec beaucoup de chambres.

Good sized family room with 2 double beds. Very clean and smart. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Drinks available at the bar. We didn't have breakfast, but it is on offer, with kids eating free per paying adult. A short walk away was a selection of restaurants for dinner. There appeared to be a range to suit all budgets/tastes, but we went cheap and cheerful at Pizza Royal (which I'd recommend). The car ferry terminal was only a 5-10 minute drive away, so the hotel was great for our overnight stay. To note, secure parking is available at £12/night. However, plentiful, free on-road parking right outside the hotel. Area felt safe (as it can be) to leave our car outside. We would definitely use this hotel again.

Check in was swift and easy, the man on reception was cheerful and helpful. Room was comfy and clean but a little dated. My main complain is the shower, it was a lacklustre dribble and took considerable time to wash. Unfortunately it was nearly midnight and I was up early the next day otherwise I’d have complained sooner, on checkout I informed the lady on reception but she either didn’t understand me very well or didn’t care. Other than that pleasant stay.

Hotel is in a good location, but it has a huge issue. Rooms in the top floor suffer from a persistent loud humming, banging and vibration from the air conditioning system on the roof… all night! We stayed either end of our holiday and in both rooms we had the same problem. The old air conditioning system clearly needs replacing, if you are allocated rooms 506 or 507 ask to be moved immediately!

The room was large, clean and well appointed. However, there was a cupboard next to the room that seemed to house some sort of machinery, meaning that we were woken up each time the machinery was in use. The sound shook the room and went off about 8 times through the night.

We were unable to access the hotel because of a long planned event in Calais. No parking within at least a kilometer of the hotel. They could very easily have messaged us the day before to tell us about the event and advisors to arrive early, thus avoiding all the traffic. Extremely bad service from Holiday Inn and I will be seeking a refund
