Well...where to start, it's tiny small, it smells like france, it's right next to the ferry port to get to the old town you have to walk up a massive hill BUT we still loved the place. Yes it's a little run down, yes, the rooms are a little small, but it's warm, it's clean, and the two people that... more

I booked this hotel for an overnight stay in Bolougne after remembering the good reviews I'd seen on Tripadvisor some time ago. It then occurred to me to check the most recent ones! I nearly cancelled the booking but it seems that France was full on 27 September. I was absolutely dreading staying at this hotel but to be honest... more

We always try to stay somewhere fairly close to the Speedferries terminal at Boulogne so we can get a good nights sleep then an early ferry. We needn't have bothered staying at the Faid'herbe - we should have just driven through the night! The room was tiny, on the 3rd floor overlooking the street (and the hotel knew that we... more

We totally enjoyed our 2 night stay at Hotel Faidherbe. We read previous reviews (inc some bad) about the hotel, but upon staying there we found the reviews very picky. The staff were very polite, helpful and friendly. The hotel was central in bologne and handy for shopping and site seeing. We had a room at the rear of the... more

Don't be fooled by the nice photographs on various websites of bright, cared for rooms...the reality is far from this. Our room was drab and basic with no pillows and a broken headboard that had been ripped out of the wall and stored behind the door with a hole in the wall above your head. The bathroom looked like a... more

We wanted an overnight stay in order to buy wine etc. We began on the wrong foot as the Hotel expected us to provide credit card details over a non-secure website address. We overcame this over the 'phone. We wanted car parking which we gathered the Hotel could provide. We asked for directions to the Hotel and received the curt... more

Phew - thank goodness other people now think the same about this hotel as we do! As with an earlier poster, we have relied on Tripadvisor reviews for trips all over the world for several years and this is the first time it has let us down. In fact, we ended up not staying at the hotel despite having a... more

The hotel was inexpensive and so was adequate for one night but I wouldn't want to have to stay longer. The staff were pleasant but the rooms and staircases were faded and threadbare, although generally clean. more

This is thr fourth stay this year and each time things get worse. The new owners have no idea how to live up to the standards set by Gerard and Francoise. Upon our arrival we were told breakfast was served until 10.30 as usual. On our first morning we went down to breakfast at 9.15, to find it all cleared... more
