Great value!
Seriously good value for money. Good, free parking. Spacious rooms. Great, hot showers. Actually comfy beds (even spare pillows in draws). Bring your own kettle or Tassimo and cups as not provided. Love this bargain hotel!

Decent budget hotel 5 mins walk from the old Dunkirk harbour. The only negative being a slight bad smell when I first entered the room.

We loved staying there. A nice spacious room with a view of the harbor. The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area. The room had kettle and tea plus breakfast was inexpensive and lovely with traditional French style.

Very outdated. Lifts don't work at night so we had to carry suitcases up to second floor

Parking is free and plentiful, and the location provides easy, walkable access to most attractions. The room had a lot of ware and was very hot when I entered due to afternoon sun beaming in with window closed, drapes wide open, and no air conditioning.

Comfortable bed, big shower, great location!
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!

A great find. Slightly difficult to find.we initially stopped at the side of the hotel and could not see it. We then drove round another kilometer and it was the furst hotel we had stopped at, but there was no name sign at the side of the hotel. That needs to be improved. The room was great with views over the river. The facilities were good especially the disabled room we had. The staff were excellent and very helpful we will stay again

A great location with friendly staff.
2 star? However in my wife and my opinion it should be a minimum of 3 stars. I have mobility problems so they put us on the first floor room 129 no complaints at all. Merci
