Hostellerie Saint Louis  

The service was very friendly and attentive but not overpoweringly so. Our lack of French language skills was humoured and English spoken when needed! We thank everyone for their kindness. The restaurant was first class with a good value and wide ranging menu including a vegetarian option.

Note: A "tea tray" in the room is not included in the booking and costs an extra 5 euros.

Excelent dining and attentive staff. Very convenient for cross channel travel but away from the busy town and port of Dunkerque (or Calais). Our room was a bit small but excelent for one night before travelling on.

Having first visited three years ago it was a pleasure to see that the Hostellerie lived up to very pleasant memories. It is a comfortable, well run hotel with a warm welcome. Its most memorable feature is its restaurant which offers an excellent eating experience.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts and staff, charming place. Food at the restaurant is fantastic, as is the wine list.

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.

Extremely friendly, relaxed and accommodating staff with fantastic food and restaurant atmosphere (always exceeding expectations - even when expectations are high!). Comfortable rooms and good facilities.

All good.......

Everything was excellent. This was our 3rd or 4th visit to the hotel and it just seems to get better and better. The food is fantastic.

The hotel suited our requirements perfectly ... it was less than an hours' drive from Calais and only a short car journey to St Omer. The food was superb.

The lounge area was limited

Excellent food.Friendly and welcoming staff.Very quiet location. Have made over 30 visits to the Saint Louis and they have all been very enjoyable. Only criticism is that the drinks are very expensive.

Expensive bar drinks.

Quality of the food, friendleness of the Staff.

Standard rooms are really too small for two people.

We love the food.

My son and I have stayed here once before this trip, and we rebooked due to the quality of the meal in the restaurant. This was very good. The staff were proficient, knowledgeable and discreet. The owner made a point of speaking to each table of diners, which was very pleasant. The hotel room we had was clean and quiet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes good food and atmosphere. The prices are reasonable. I am sure we will visit again.

Breakfast was not the same as the first time we visited. There were a number of english visitors, and most seemed surprised that the only hot item available was scrambled egg. On our previous visit there had been bacon as well.

A very French hotel - most staff spoke some English which helped a lot. We only stayed for one night but it was memorable for the dinner we chose. An excellent menu and the quality was excellent. A lovely stop and we will certainly recommend to friends.

The only suggestion is that the tea/coffee making tray is in the standard room and not an extra at 5 euros.
