ibis budget Saint-Omer Centre

We had no intention of staying in St Omer, but due to a (self inflicted) problem with our Eurotunnel booking, we found ourselves looking for accommodation for ourselves and our dog at no notice in peak holiday season. No mean feat, as everything in Calais and the neighbouring towns was booked out. We always stay in Ibis Budget hotels when we're on road trips, so used this website to find the nearest one that had available rooms. Which is how we came to unexpectedly overnight in St Omer ... The hotel was just what we have come to expect - no frills, clean and convenient with surprisingly comfortable beds. There is also a large secure parking area that's free for guests. As ever, our dog was welcomed without question, which is a huge plus. Most Ibis Budgets are located on the fringe of towns/cities, which makes them convenient when you're on road trips and don't want the hassle of detouring into the town/city centre. In this case, St Omer is pretty small, so you can walk into the lovely city centre in about 10 minutes - on a hot summer's night, it's a vibey place with very few tourists (at least foreign ones) in evidence. There's also a supermarket a few minutes walk from the hotel if you have forgotten essentials or want to stock up on stuff for a picnic. Should you be catching the Eurotunnel, the Calais terminal is an easy 40 minute drive.

Convenient situation en route to the channel tunnel with easy road access. Compact modern design of the room made washing and showering a little awkward but clean and comfortable. Good breakfast available for early departure and good parking arrangements.Excellent value for money .

A budget hotel on the outskirts of town , the small town of St Omer is only a 10 mins walk away ,and restaurants are just around the corner .The room are budget and small but clean and tidy . the car park is large and fenced but not totally secure .As an overnight stay before the shuttle is was great .

Hotel was in a great location, only a short walk into the town centre. Free parking in a secure car park on site is also a huge bonus. Quick and easy check in and the rooms were clean.

Ease of booking, staff friendliness and english skills as my french is terrible (my problem I know) safe parking and the ac was top notch
