Booked 2 nights as a weekend getaway for the family. Service was relaxed but efficient. Rooms were large but smaller once the 2 additional beds had been added (not immediately ready upon arrival), and made getting in/out a little interesting, especially with the fireplace at the bottom of one bed. The swimming pool could have been a few degrees warmer,... More

We spent one night in a superior room with a little balcony which overlooked both Nausicaa (the national sea experience centre) and the beach. The room was charming, nicely decorated, everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked the garage which was useful as our car was full of shopping.... More

I spent a night here as a break before driving across France. The superior room was essentially internal, which was a bit of a shame, but was spacious and very comfortable, nicely furnished with an excellent bathroom. I thought it very good value at euro 100. Breakfast was a reasonably good buffet and service of coffee was quick and efficient.... More

Our room was too small but, it was our dinner that upset us, the women Manager seemed to take a dislike to us and as a result service was very poor. Our main course was delivered before we had been given the wine list and had to be turned away. We will not re-visit this hotel. BEWARE... The French have... More

One night stay in both a Standard and Superior Room. Worth paying the extra for a Superior which had a bath and a mini balcony. No problem parking just behind the hotel and Boulogne is a really nice town to experience a 'bit of France' but a short drive from ferry/tunnel to UK. Would be ideal to break the journey... More

Despite Boulogne feeling quite tired since the catamarans stopped their UK crossing route, this hotel is a real gem. Fantastic tasting menu €250 for two person tasting menu with food, 20mins from eurotunnel in Coquelles. The spa, cold pool and jacuzzi are smallish but well delivered. Classical but well maintained. Expensive but worth it as a romantic treat.

I am sorry but I am not going to be able to give you an unbiased review. The reason being is that I really love staying at La Matelote on the grey, green and in some places grim dock front of Boulogne whenever I am visiting Nord pas de Calais. I was staying with a group who were spread around... More

This is a very charming hotel with a Michelin restaurant. We loved our room--it was quiet and spacious with a very comfortable bed and nice furnishings. The man at the reception desk, who also served as our bartender in the comfortable living room-like lounge, was extremely helpful with a more than adequate command of the English language. The location is... More
