B&B HOTEL Boulogne-sur-Mer Saint-Martin

Cheap and cheerful, this B&B HOTEL in Boulogne-sur-Mer is in a handy location — just a short drive to the Channel Tunnel, making it great for stopovers. I liked the idea of using a key code to access the room, meaning no need to see staff and you can arrive anytime. However, the process wasn’t as smooth as it should be. The code I was sent didn’t work, so I couldn’t check in via the machine or get my room number. When it works, I imagine it’s convenient, but when it doesn’t, it’s stressful — especially with no staff around to help. The room itself was very basic but fair for the price. The shower was surprisingly good, with great pressure and hot water, which was a nice plus. Cleanliness was a bit of a letdown — the room needed a vacuum, and the toilet would have benefited from a proper clean and some bleach. The biggest concern was the door. The key code system also meant the door didn’t lock properly from the inside, which was unsettling. With no staff onsite at the time, there was no way to get help. Overall, it did the job for a quick, cheap overnight stay, but the check-in process and room cleanliness could really use some attention.

Good location

Stayed 1 night no issue only thing was only had 1 pillow couple of pillows Would of being better.

Very pleased with our stay. The rooms were cosy and comfortable. The location is excellent as loads of restaurants walking distance including a McDonalds.

Simple motel in the process of being renovated/repainted. Nice room, good decor, quiet, good breakfast.

Enough space for 3 people, clean and had shower and toilet inside room.

Room 47 as expected, clean and comfortable enough. It was hot but unable to get fresh air as very noisy extraction above. Staff very pleasant and breakfast good value.

Excellent value and convient to autoroute. Better than expected breakfast for type of hotel and very reasonable. Very helpful staff.

WARNING - You may have problems checking in out of hours if you have local taxes still to pay!!! The hotel was clean and comfortable, and although a little on the small side, it was bigger than some we stayed in. We arrived just after reception had closed and tried checking in on the machine, however it would not let me. Luckily the reception staff were still around, and they were lovely, despite knowing little english. The problem was the outstanding local taxes. These couldn't be paid on the machine, so make sure you arrive before 8pm. To find the hotel turn off the roundabout towards McDonalds but follow the road next to it up the hill. You may find using the hospital address easier if using a sat nav, as the hospital enterance is just down from the hotel. In fact the hotel looks over the hospital heli pad on one side, and on a clear day on the other side, you can see the white cliffs of Dover. For food, you have McDonalds, an American style steak restaurant, and a chinese buffet within walking distance.

Very basic. Noisy overnight. Room cleanliness not great Staff at breakfast lovely and very helpful. Breakfast selection is good but the room is too small.

Perfectly adequate for a single overnight stay to get some sleep on a very long drive. Very close to the motorway (so convenient) and room was very quiet. Room was tired and could do with some cosmetic renovation - e.g. toilet door would not lock due to door being broken.

The toilet whilst clean was old and stained. Convenient location with local food outlets nearby. Staff friendly

This is fine for a one night stay. Rather an old building, grey and unattractive. Our room was small but clean and quiet. Bedding rather heavy.

The enteance, geounds and exterior could do with a tidy up, but nice beds, lots of hot water, 2 uk tv channels, plenty parking.

Hotel was easy to find, check in was straightforward and the room was clean and just way we wanted with the double and 2 singles, only thing missing was a kettle in the room to make a cup of tea but I went to reception to get one.

Carpet was sticky, breakfast had only the basics and was restricted to a tiny side plate only. No ham or cheese for continental

Entrance to hotel needs attention, not very welcoming. Bathrooms and carpets needs an upgrade. Beds are comfy, we slept well. Adequate breakfast

First impressions were that it looked like an old fashioned motel that many people had been murdered in. However room was clean, the kids loved their mezzanine level, and receptionist was very friendly. Too far out of town to walk anywhere but there was free parking in Boulogne so no problem to drive the 10 mins in. Breakfast was fine and overall the stay was fine. It could really just do with a smarten up outside so it looks less depressing when you first arrive.

Not like the photos - thought we had turned to the wrong hotel - very depressing building - not what you expect for a £100 hotel it’s no different to a £35 one - poor breakfast - slow checking they couldn’t find booking for ages - never again

Great location for channel tunnel, lots of places to eat nearby. Comfy spacious room. Easy to get to.
