It's a fairly small room for the price but was clean and adequate for me as a single person. I had a problem with the room at first but the staff changed the room for me .
It's a nice quiet location with plenty of parking at the rear

We went to a lovely bar close by in the evening. There was no air conditioning but we could open the window. We had a lovely view of the harbour from our room.

Lovely staff, a little date decor which we LOVE because lots of the new hotels are so bland and stark, most importantly the beds are super comfortable and I'm a big guy (23 stone, 6'5\" tall) so I am used to cheaper hotels having terrible mattresses. Not this place! Nice big showers too! Not the style of breakfast we're used to so we passed on that. Very good value for money! We look forward to staying there again!

Over night stay

We have stayed in this hotel before & it is good value for money. The hotel is well situated in Dunkerque. They have managed the Covid-19 situation well breakfast was served to us socially distanced. Rooms are good size & comfortable however there are some small points they could improve on. Ventilation was poor in room as no aircon and the room was very hot & stuffy.
In common with most hotels not enough power points for our tablets phones etc.
No cups in bathrooms for teeth cleaning/tablet taking.
No stand alone showers we had to clamber over bath edge not good for older residents.
On saying all the above we will stay again next time we are in Dunkerque

Noisy, uncomfortable and never again.

After following the zip code the hotel was not in sight and following several phone calls to the hotel I was told to ask someone in the street as no one was available who could speak English well enough. An hour later we found the hotel. The room looked good at first sight, however, the room was roasting hot, the beds were rock hard, there was mound in the bath tub where the shower was leaking, there were only one pillow per bed so they had to be folded in two for support. The rooms were very noisy with doors slamming and waking us up several times, along with noisy neighbors and street noise (window open due to the heat). None of us had a shower (which was straight from the 1970’s) due to the green staining around the plug hole, deciding to wait until our next hotel -which was much better.

No hot water in room. Plunge-style toilet flush came straight out of top of cistern into my hand - so couldn’t flush the toilet. Airless room. Generally grubby.
Yes, I know,,you get what you pay for - but this should be basic requirements.
Hassle to change our room - receptionist most unhelpful. we did change in the end, but, although we had hot water and a workable toilet, the room itself was sadly neglected.
Would never stay there again.

We have stayed here on a few previous occasions. Hotel is a little tired and could do with spruce up in places, i.e. good shower but the shower head sprayed the wall due to water pressure. Only one towel between the two of us and one (small) pillow. On saying that the hotel is clean and comfortable has great views over the harbour and is centrally located in Dunkirk, for the £46 we paid hotel represents good value for money.

Arriving in France in the early hours this place does not look that nice where it is located, and its not fancy inside! But if all you need is a bed and shower with a location near the centre of town and the port, this is perfect. Doubt it will win awards as a hotel but great for a stop over.
