    "Very friendly staff." (107176535)

    We were in the front of the hotel and the windows were thick enough to keep out the traffic noise. Ideally situated for the lower (the shops) and upper (the walled part)town.

    The usual no tea and coffee facilities in the room.

    "As above, excellent friendly staff." (99625208)

    The staff were friendly and very welcoming (e.g. allowing us to secure our bicycles in their garage) - a definite asset.

    Walls were a bit thin, room was a bit dated.

    from Basingstoke , GB  on  August 28, 2008

    "Lovely waking up to the sound of gulls ( fortuantely not too early), close to all the quaint shops, trendy restaurants, cinema, markets & squares. The cathedral & fort are up a long hill & the exercise was needed. The 8% beer was excellent as are the steaks, cakes & coffees. Bologne was too hilly to hire bikes so we walked everywhere. The aquarium ( largest in Europe) is outstanding. Sand surfing was too expensive as you have to hire an instructor for the 1st time but the walks on the beach/ promenade made up for it. Didnt swim as the sea ( coolish) was only safe one day. Great for a weekend getaway & close to fabulous Le Touquet. Busses just as efficient as the trains at half the price." (108019840)

    Very helpful staff & friendly couple & 5 yo son run the hotel. The location is excellent & although the hotel room is small, it is adequate due to the balcony & large bathroom. Very clean throughout. Recently decorated. Great breakfast. Centrally located.

    Bedside light was broken, but the hotel was aware of it & will call an electrician this week.

    "Very enjoyable." (107134138)

    It was pleasantly decorated and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location also.

    The shower was a little cold in the afternoon and the matress could have been better quality.

  • 9/10 Kathryn ( Group of adult friends) 

    from Sheffield , United Kingdom;GB  on  May 9, 2007

    We had a very friendly greeting on arrival at the hotel, I speak schoolgirl French but am by no means fluent, the couple running the hotel went out of their way to ensure that we had all the information we needed about the hotel, the breakfast and the surrounding area, giving us a map and pointing out our location, the parking areas and places of interest. The hotel was spotlessly clean and very well run. I will definately book the hotel again when we return to Boulogne.

    I missed a kettle so that I could make a drink in the room, but I am aware that providing a kettle is unusual in foreign hotels. That is not really a dislike, and the hotel management would make a dring for us if we wanted one. Nothing else to dislike.

    easy check in, freindly staff, excellent location for bars, restaurants, and ferry port. although on the main street double glazing was excellent sound proofing.

    clean but basic hotel. you get what you pay for so were not at all dissapointed

    "The rooms were really clean; the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave us a map of the area and suggested places to eat. They also saved our car from being locked in an underground car park all weekend! Lovely friendly atmosphere. Wonderful breakfast brought up to our room. No complaints at all and would heartily recommend staying at Hotel Alexandra - just watch out for the underground car parks in Boulogne!" (97659214)

    The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. A lovely family run hotel. Very clean. Delicious breakfast. Couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay.

    Nothing. It was all excellent.

    "I would have liked to have known the exact location as it is not right in front of the sea but 5 mins walk from it. The place is good value for money being in the centre of the town. The Nausicaa aquarium is 15 mins walk from it so is the Citadel uphill." (99698846)

    First of all it was clean which is a good standard to start with. The personnel was extremely friendly and very helpful

  • 7/10 Anonymous ( Mature couple)

    "The hotel staff were very friendly and made for an enjoyable stay. The only drawbacks were not having free car parking facilities (but there is free street parking not far away, and pay parking close by); also the room above our room (no.8) sounded as if it had a hard floor and we heard someone walking around on it during the day, but not during the night." (99998942)

    Central Location

    Noise from room above

  • 8/10 Timothy ( Mature couple)

    "Very convenient hotel in middle of town. Free car parking near by. Staff helpful and friendly, didn't have breakfast but the dining area or food didn't look inviting. If you are on the large side the shower in our room was extremely narrow to enter and the sink was very small. An ok hotel for a person who doesn't require luxury" (99813825)

    width of shower door and sink made us laugh

    Not having a kettle in the room

    Staff were very friendly and rooms were clean and tidy. Hotel was close to main centre of town within walking distance of good restaurants.

    No tea or coffee making facilities in rooms.Only one towel per person.

    It was light and clean with tasteful decor and had apparently been recently redecorated. It was also quite spacious.

    Nothing much, except that it was quite basic but the facilities matched the low price.

The lady on reception was very pleasant and helful. It was generally what you would expect from a 2-star hotel only we felt that the bathroom facilities could do with a re-furb. Having said that the bathroom was clean." (3304408399)

    Room was clean, reception and breakfast service very good.

    Bathroom facilities. Very dated, shower head would not stay in place. Decor was also dated.

No charge for parking on street from 2100 Saturday and all day Sunday. Hotel very basic, but clean and functional. Not bad for an inexpensive weekend break. A typical small French family run hotel. Friendly staff." (3305250372)

    Central position, near old town and restaurants.
