B&B HOTEL Boulogne-sur-Mer Centre Les Ports — Hotel in Boulogne-sur-Mer

It's a typical cheap Ibis in France. Clean and tidy but absilutely no frills. They've spent some money refurbishing at least some of the bedrooms over the past year (Dec 2017).

It's located within a small downbeat shopping mall ... though at least there is a small branch of Carrefour so you can stock up on wine and beer very close at hand.

The hotel has a reserved section within the underground car park, so again it's quite handy for lugging your shopping down there. But they charge you €8 a night (Dec 2017) to park there.

Very easy to find on one of the main roads through the town, and centrally located close to plenty of shops, bars, café and restaurants. However it's an uphill walk to the old town from here, which might not be within everyone's capability.

Breakfast is currently (Dec 2017) charged at around €10 a head, which represents very poor value for sweaty ham, sweaty cheese, baguettes and croissants with no hot stuff.

A great base, close to the centre of town overlooking the river.

We were directed to our room, via the elevator. The room whilst 'bijou' had all the amenities within easy reach and best of all a river view.|The bed was comfortable and the shower was plentiful and hot.|Where this hotel excelled was it's location, within easy walk of the harbour, fish market, marine centre and the town centre, cafes and restaurants.|I'm reminded of a top tip!! Buy your wine, cheese, pate etc on the Saturday - The shops are closed on Sunday, even in...

Room too small for a couple and a child. There's no minibar. The rooms need a renovation. There were a lot of mosquito, on top of that when they cleaned the room they left the window open which caused more mosquitos to enter. Very weak breakfast. There were only 2 or 3 cake qualities of bread. Breakfast charcuterie was also very weak, there were no scrambled eggs or bacon. The Staff, I just found the first lady at the reception very friendly, and a girl who attended us at the restaurant was also nice. Otherwise, almost all of the Staff were very unsympathetic. They should work more in customer service, and train workers better. Overall, we don't like it. It's a hotel not...
