Hotel Faidherbe

We passed through & didn't have breakfast. Basic all round - free parking across the main cross roads & bridge in port area though I only found out later after paying for a nearby Q Park in shopping centre. Have to check in if arriving later at hotel across road. Street level can be noisy. Room had 3 separate beds but wardrobe contained shelves rather than hanging rack. Tap dripping. Some decent places to eat near aquarium. Should only pay a basic price.

You can’t expect more from a two star hotel. It looks a bit shabby from the outside but it is perfectly comfortable and spotless inside. Reception is in the hotel opposite and the staff there are very friendly and professional. We certainly will use this hotel again.

Beds and pillows were uncomfortable no one to check you in had to go over the road for the key clean and basic

Once a pleasant family-run hotel this now appears to be no more than an annex to the Bar Hamiot across the road (where you have to check in and out). Our room was small and sparsely furnished. The shower needed some attention and there were only 2 coat hangers in the hanging space. Having said all that, the room was clean and warm and had recently been refurbished. The staff in the Bar Hamiot were friendly and welcoming and there is private underground parking (at a modest additional cost) just round the corner.

Great position in the town, offered a good car parking facility and the food in their restaurant offered a very good selection of meals.

Having driven down through France stopping in Angouleme and Zaragoza on the way down , then having twelve days on the Costa Blanca, we came back via Zaragoza (Fantastic), Pau, Caen for two nights with a final stop in Boulogne prior to an 8am crossing with Eurotunnel. What a mistake! I thought that these type of places no longer existed. No-one on reception-you had to book in at the bar/restaurant across the street. The room was poorly furnished and although clean, it looked sad and tired. The windows had two huge blobs of seagull droppings that had obviously been there for some considerable time, no curtains on the window (there was a retractable blind). The bathroom was tiny as was the bath and although there was a shower attachment the bracket on the wall was missing! It gave you the impression of a place the local council would use to house homeless people/refugees. Book only if desperate. Would not go back there if they offered me a free room.

Abandoned hotel had to get the key from a different hotel, no parking but of course access to parking if you pay, dusty old hotel with rude cleaners

Would perhaps choose to stay in the old town next time but the hotel itself was good for our one night.

We have been to this hotel many times but will never again. No reception, no atmosphere, no bar, came down for breakfast and saw a sign saying self serve breakfast but no food. A real shame as it used to be lovely.

Stayed here about 20 years ago, not the same. No reception now, needed to book in via hotel over the road. Check in time was not until 5pm which is rather late. Although very clean, is in need of an update. Rooms very small, back lounge not in use, so for breakfast we were all crammed into the front reception area of hotel., breakfast was fine though as expected.
