Hostellerie Saint Louis  

The staff at the Hostellerie St Louis were excellent. Proffessional and friendly. The food in the restaurant was first class. We were offered an appetiser which was described as containing a fish mousse. To be honest I couldn't taste the fish and I would have been hard pressed to tell what it was. On the plus side, my wife, who doesn't like fish was given a vegetable terrine which she said was excellent. The rest of the meal was very good, as was the service. The wine was a bit more pricey than we usually pay and the night cost us a tad more than we expected. But it was very good!

Our room (Normandie) was rather basic, albeit with a lovely view of the front garden and the bathroom had a slighly unpleasant smell. Typical French loo aroma!

Nice and welcoming. Nothing was a proble m will stay again

The weather when we were there

Very friendly and comfortable and Philippe's cuisine is a dream.

There was nothing we didn't like and we want to stay again next year

Superb hotel, lovely French decor, excellent food. Thank you.

There was nothing I did not like about this hotel.

We have been here, at least, 4 times and it has retained it's standard of service. The food is well presented and of a very good quality, but the quality of service is what makes this a lovely place for the more mature traveller- peace and quiet! Long may it be so!

The food was superb; beautifully presented and prepared. Excellent service from the staff: friendly and attentive without being over the top. The rooms were comfortable and everything in the hotel was as it should be. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent in every way

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a very quiet village, which was perfect for us.

It's an old building and the floor creak badly, which when you are trying to get to sleep can be annoying. When we first entered the hotel, there was a lingering food smell, which was pleasant.

The restaurant and quality of food were excellent and certainly would recommend it

The bedroom was a bit basic [although very clean] which was disappointing but the restaurant certainly made up for this. If I recommended this hotel to others I would need to mention about the room.

we had a lovely valentine break at the hotel . Bea and her staff were very welcoming and her husband's food was delectably deliciously desirable . The gourmet valentine menu was simply "fabuleux" . we will return !

I booked this hotel because I liked the picture - I failed to read reviews of the food and got an amazing surprise. We were there on a Monday evening when they serve a "simple" set menu at 25 euros. It was absolutely superb, two pre-starters including a cepe soup with chicken foam on top garnished with a slice of truffle (now you begin to get the picture), then I chose the foie gras terrine and zander for my main course. When we couldn't decide whether to have cheese or dessert Madame suggested we have a small portion of each. The cheeses were all local (and new to me). Unfortunately, we did not have any appetite in the morning to eat breakfast. The other fantastic thing about this hotel is the service. Madame could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Bravo!

There is not much else to do in Bollezeele in the winter, although the hotel is close to the ports of Calais and Dunkerque and their hypermarket shopping. Saint Omer is a short drive and Arras and Lille slightly further. The standard hotel rooms are spotless but looking a little dated, unlike the bathroom which was clean, stylish and modern. Unfortunately, our radiator did not work and we had to ask for it to be fixed (which it was, promptly). You have to pay 5 euros for tea/coffee- making facilities in your room and the free wi-fi is only available in the main areas, not the bedrooms. However, these are minor niggles.

Very relaxing stay, staff are very helpful, service is excellent. Gourmet quality food is outstanding.

Very enjoyable stay , friendly and helpful staff. Value for money with excellent food.
