"We stayed here when it was an Ibis and since then it has been up-dated with better bed/bath rooms. Ideal for eating out in the town centre, for the Saturday market and for a secure carp park - great when your car is laden with French wine! Good breakfasts as well."
"The hotel is easy to find and was super clean. The staff are SO very nice and went above and beyond to help us. I am happy we stayed here made our trip to France feel like home."
"Sorry to say the start to the stay was a nightmare. We arrived near the hotel but could not get to it as there were barriers blocking the road. We pulled up nearby and our wives went in to book and find the parking. This turns out to be underground on an adjacent street. Instructions took us to the next corner and round to the next street. Impossible due to road closures for a market. We spent the next hour trying to find an alternative route to the parking. The whole area was closed off....
"I need to put context to my score. The building is exquisite. You see tradition seeping through the walls and the way it was restructured into mini suites works incredibly well. The location is also exceptional.
The rest of services are limited but it’s a B&B so it’s totally expected.
But the dust…the dust…was everywhere. In the room in the staircase and in the entrance hall. The breakfast room instead was well cleaned. For a couple of days was fine but imagining to stay for longer would have...
"Excellent restaurant, clean room and great staff. This must be the best hotel in Boulogne. Location is ideal, opposite the beach and Nausicaa. Secure parking is available in dedicated garages. The building is old but well maintained."
"Had a lovely stay with my partner and nearly one year old baby.
Prior to arrival we had paid for parking and the "Baby kit". There was delayed communication about where to park, but it was resolved just in time before we reached Evancy. When we checked-in we immediately saw the "Baby kit" wasn't in the room so we had to go down to tell reception - luckily staff was on hand to sort it out quickly.
Once we settled in, the stay was great!
A note though, the Expedia listing for this property...
"Staff were lovely. A friendly welcome and a bottle of water each on check in. The bedroom was OK but nothing special. The en-suite was brand new and excellent. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room was disappointing. The bed was comfortable so had a good night’s sleep and a lovely hot shower in the morning. We did not have breakfast as we had to get off early to get the Eurotunnel train home. The old town in Boulogne-sur-mer was lovely. "
