ibis Bethune Centre Gare

Considering the price to stay here everything was excellent. Our room was small, but modern, perfectly designed and laid out to make our short stay enjoyable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Although I speak some French the staff all had good English so it was easy to explain when I thought I needed a plug with a USB socket to charge my phone. In fact things were even better as the rooms have wireless charging! The menu for dinner is not extensive, but the dishes we chose were excellent in their presentation, amount and taste. Breakfast is buffet style and included excellent scrambled egg, warm pancakes, plus a good variety of the usual cereals, fruit, yoghurt, cheeses and meats - all very fresh and appetising. We will stay here again.

It was a slight surprise to have to pay €10 for the hotel carpark (which is secure), although there is a large, well lit, public carpark directly behind the hotel.

Perfectly adequate for a short stay. Bed was very comfortable. Liked the secure parking. Really liked the ease of checking in and using the app was so easy. The staff member that greeted us was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. Thank you for a pleasant stay, we will definitely be back.

The sink plug couldn't be closed (difficult to shave for a man), although i did like the design. Perhaps bottles of water (even if they are chargeable) may be an idea in the room since tea and coffee facilities weren't available. I'm not sure I saw one but an ice machine may also be an idea, apologies if there is one already and I missed it.

Excellent value hotel next to the train station and about 15 mins walk from the centre of town (for choice of restaurants and bars). Very clean and comfortable room, secure parking behind gate for car or motorcycle (extra charge which was reasonable). It has a good bar and restaurant with a few simple dishes. The breakfast with a range of hot and cold items was included in the price and it exceeded expectations for a budget hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be using again as a first night stop after crossing the Channel.

Nothing

This hotel provided a convenient stopover on our return to the UK after holidaying in France, being just off the A26 motorway. My original intention was a stopover in Calais but was put off by tales of security issues. The hotel is easy to find being just opposite the main train station and provides a secure car park for 10 euros a night. It is just over a year old and this is reflected in the standard of accommodation. We had a family room which was more than adequate for our needs and well appointed, with lots of charging points for phones etc. Staff were very pleasant and spoke good English, particularly Marion who, together with her colleagues, looked after us very well. It is a bit of a hike to reach the main square of Bethune on foot but well worth the effort. The evening menu featured tapas, burghers, salads amongst other dishes and was reasonable value for money but breakfast was more basic and rather expensive for what was on offer.

Very little not to like. Not the cheapest overnight stop but convenient and extremely comfortable.

This is a modern hotel which is perfect for an overnight stop. Check in v efficient and room spotless and comfortable. The bar/ restaurant was also ideal.. altho the menu was v simple. The car park was secure (10euro fee was reasonable in a town centre we thought but there was lots of free parking right next to the hotel too). The location was also great.. under an hour to the tunnel and an easy walk into the town centre.

A hairdryer in the room might have been useful.

It's new building, everything is good, location good as well

only one lift, when in the morning trying to get down, you might wait a few time loft to go up and down without you, as everyone goes in same time.

We arrived very late (the next morning) as our tunnel crossing was delayed. The man on reception was extremely helpful as he opened the gate for us so we could park our car on site. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good too. I'd recommend this hotel (even though we didn't get to see much of it).

it was all good

We left some jewelery on the bed, value around €500. I phoned later in the day but nothing had been handed in. I sent several messages but have never had a response. It is dissapointing not to have a response and that the items were not handed in as they were clearly visible & unusual.

It was very clean and the family room was spacious and comfortable. The restaurant area was very pleasant with games for the children. The food in the restaurant was good quality at a reasonable price. All staff were helpful and friendly. We will stay there again.

lovely new hotel. We turned up at 1am and the night manager was really helpful and friendly. Excellent on-site parking. Rooms modern and clean. Perfect for a stopover hotel. Breakfast was really good with lots of options. They let us take bagfuls of food with us for our journey.

bathroom hand basin too small to wash your face in.
