Very good value and central location. I loved my room. It was renovated but still retained an antique charm. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive I enjoyed the full strength cocktails at bargain prices during happy hour. The meals are good too if you don't want to go out. I would definitely stay there again.

This hotel was terrible. The room was filthy. We turned on the ceiling fan on and dust went flying, it was clear this had not been cleaned in months. The mugs and cups were dirty. Stains on the bedding and towels. Dont be fooled by the 2021 renovation description, this place is run down and tired. Paint flaking, missing architrave. The AC units are noisy floor machines that vent out the window. No bath mat or hand towels. No where even to hang a hand towel in the bathroom! No hooks at all. We did kindly get switched to a different room for a night while they cleaned our room properly. However this other room was incredibly loud of road noise and the noise of the pub dwonstairs. Would not recommend this hotel at all

Room was clean. Didn’t expect to be sharing bathrooms with other rooms. Toilet was clogged for a full day in in one of the bathrooms. Noisy street and building. Wifi didn’t work and neither did TV. When asking staff if they could help, they tried one thing it didn’t work and then never followed up. Wouldn’t stay here again I was excepting more of a hotel then a hostel feel.

The room itself was decent for the price and in a good location, sometimes a bit loud but I was expecting that. But cleanliness and maintenance was really bad, my room had a broken lampshade, a loud fridge, food stains all over the menu and the tray with the utensils and what looked like blood / vomit stains on the sheets, which I only noticed as I was leaving so slept in these for several nights.

As a solo traveller I spent just over a week at the Dunkirk in Pyrmont- everything was seemless and there was no issues - I ate in the pub a couple of times and the food was very high quality, quick and delicious - I was a little unsure about sharing a bathroom as I made my booking late and this option was not available however there really was no problems at all - everywhere was very clean. My room was huge and the bed was massive - extremely comfy for me and my pillows were Devine (I’m very fussy about pillows) all the staff was super friendly and the hotel was able to hold my bags in a secure place for the day as I had a night time flight - bus stop outside across the road into town and bondi junction was really super convenient - I would stay again and highly recommend - all the best to everyone at the Dunkirk that made my week is Sydney a very memorable one

I didn't like being on the second floor as my partner has a bad hip that needs surgery and I have two knee replacements that still give me pain and are weak!
I would be good if when you make the booking to be asked if you have any special needs? we are both aver 70 and the stairs were a killer!
My partner is a heavy smoker and therefore had to take the stairs to go down to the smoking area!
The smoking area WAS ETREMELY NOISY DUE TO THE POKER MACHINE THAT YELLING OUT EVERY TIME THE PLAYER WON A PRIZE! It needs to moved further into the gaming area!
Had I known that I could have paid a higher fee and had a room with an en-suite I would have done so as I have done for my next stay with you in July!

The only down side to the property is you have to climb stairs to get to your room, wifi was not very good and only a couple of TV channels were available on the TV.

Great concept for a boutique hotel in a restored older building. Staff were friendly, polite and responsive. Noise level was loud from the street and even louder from the live music from the main floor bar. But we were expecting this due to previous reviews and all had our own noise cancelling earbuds. Beds were comfortable. The cleanliness however was not up to standard with dirty walls and ceiling and dishes in the cupboard. Because we were in the family room we had a private vs shared bathroom which was good, but the one side of the flush mechanism on the top of the toilet had broken off and the other side didn’t work on the side that was broken off in its place were 2 bamboo sticks. So every time someone went to the bathroom you had to grab hold of these 2 sticks and push them down in just the right place in order to flush the toilet. This was extremely un-hygienic and quite literally disgusting. I think the staff should have informed us of this earlier in the day as we had had communication with them. We were exhausted after a long day of travelling and didn’t arrive until almost midnight. The front desk had shut down by the time we saw the issue. We could have booked a different room or a different hotel had we been given the option, but we were not. For this, and the dirty dishes that had been put away in the cupboard I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
