Even for just 1 overnight stay en-route and at (as low as) £35.00 We will NOT use this hotel again. The lights in the room were not working. Electricity wiring looked a bit dodgy. Had to leave the window open because it felt unclean. It's on the noisy road with bars and pubs. Basically didn't sleep well. Shower was leaking. Overall rubbish.

Value for money
We had 3nights at Citadel, but we had 2nights in a double room and one night in a twin. Nice crisp white bed linen and towels. Twin room felt more spacious and as it had two windows. Nice accommodation for the price. Very central for Ferry port, and bars and restaurants. Very helpful staff.

I was scammed.
Hotel was locked up on arrival, it was pouring with rain. I tried the buttons no joy. I then noticed a piece of appear to call. Not mowing the local code I had to find that then call the number. Someone replied and said they would come. Someone did and we went inside. No booking on there system they said. Hotel full. Hotels.com no good they said. I was not happy. We have another hotel not far I you go there we have one room left. So in the pouring rain what else could I do. I was dire, filthy, old. No wifi, shower head broken off and a piece of cord for a shower. Bed was filthy. I eat tried to sleep, couldn't and left after 5am. Funny though that they said go to the room and I can pay when I come down, they they had taken payment by the time I came back so they found the booking. I was not pleased I was not in what I booked, as I had stayed there before with the BBC. This was a scam, total scam, never again will I be booking this way.

Decent out of the Calais Budget hotels.
I returned here, after trying out all the local lowest price hotels, that's 25-35 euro. I'd rate them in this order Belazur & Citadel - yes Beffroi, Pacific - no not unless others are booked out Marie Tudor - no don't even think about it. Citadel room, I've stayed in 3 of the 9, are fine for cleanliness. Hard to work out how to use the TVs, the water in the showers can be variable, but rooms renovated, warm, not damp smelly like Pacific and Marie Tudor. Worst part is having to go to Belazur to collect the key, that's a pain and should be clearly written on the adverts on hotels.com.

Outside was warmer than the hotel room
No heating when we told the reception he just shrugged it off with no attempt to rectify the problem and it was cold that night. Perfect for those who don't like heat or warmth !

Shockingly, the Citadel hotel, in Calais', was closed when I arrived: along with four others: some local 'scandal', involving the Police, according to locals. While trying to find somewhere else, I had my wallet pickpocketed, and I spent a rather 'purgatorial' night on a park bench. I'm currently trying to get my money back from Hotels.com. No 'accommodation' on that score either, as yet.

One night only
No lift but four flights, not all rooms have own toilet which is not mentioned in the ads, showers inadequate- too small and little pressure. Worst of all the reception only operates for one hour from 4pm - 5pm so it is almost impossible to get in touch with them (they pack the phone away and don't answer or have a message service)

Cheap
For the price this is great stopover. I could not get in! Hotel is locked, small foyer with no receptionist. No notice on how to check in, went round to other hotels asking advice until someone who could tell me sister hotel for checking in. Otherwise cheaper than anywhere else, shower too small

A lovely stay.
I was very much impressed with my little room. It was just a simple, self contained room but it was lovely after a long day to have a space of my own to return to. I stayed for 5 nights, the room was always clean but the sheets were not cleaned for the entire stay. The staff were lovely. The bars across from the hotel were fantastic and cheap.

One night stay
The room was small but clean. The beds were comfortable and the shower and loo were clean and functioned well. This is a small hotel with only 9 rooms, all up steep stairs to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. No lift, so not suitable for visitors with mobility difficulties. The young lady on reception duty was helpful. The rooms have little sound insulation so could be noisy. No public rooms, coffee shop or other facilities. All in all, fine for a brief stay, probably not for any length of time

Good location 5 mins walk to the beach (plaga)
Do not expect much from this hotel, we arrived at the hotel at 5pm. There no one to open the door as you needed a code to get in. There was a sign at the door to go to a near by hotel. We did and at the reception they took our details and gave us the key to the room,and code for the entrance door. The room was very tidy, the bathroom has no bath and is very small so if you think you are over weight that is definitely a bathroom you don't want to use. My room came with a balcony so that was a plus for me. The bed was comfortable but not good for action (noisy) The TV works but it says no signals when it comes on. Will I stay there again? I really don't know:)

Unfortunately not the cleanest choice...
I BOOKED THE SO CALLED SUPERIOR DOUBLE ROOM BUT IT WAS VERY SMALL AND NOT VERY CLEAN. BUT COMPARED TO OTHER CHOICES IN CALAIS IT IS UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES TO STAY IN CALAIS.

Key Issue
The room was fine, it was clean, the TV barely worked, but this is a lowest budget room, cannot complain about a tiny thing. The hardest bit was getting the keys and took up half an hour. Firstly the keys are no longer kept at the Pacific hotel on the same street but further away at hotel Belazur. The receptionist was so busy speaking with his Arabic friends in the foyer, I had to phone him on the hotel number on his desk and finally I found out who was the receptionist. I could have stolen the mobile phone left on the desk I assume was his or any number of things around his desk, so deep in conversation he was with his friends and so work shy he was too. Finally I got the key and back I went to the Cidadel, 2 hotels later. I won't book here again unless I have too, simply due to the difficulty in getting the key.

Short stay
The hotel was a budget priced hotel, but far exceeded our expectations it was spotlessly clean warm and very comfortable, ideal location for local amenities and managed to park just outside the hotel. the only negative was that the hotel didn't have tea and coffee making facilities, even just a kettle would have been good.
