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 The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area.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.

We were just there for one night leaving for the euro tunnel the next morning. We had a comfortable bed. The hotel was a 10 minute walk to the beach and Dunkirk 1940 museum. 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.

Ok but not great

It's okay if you just need a room for a couple of nights, breakfast was basic but the coffee is good. Just glad that there are some good places to eat and drink near by as the hotel doesn't have a bar or a restaurant.

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!

Disliked: Amenities
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.

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
