Dunkirk accommodation from NZ$131

Efficient check in. You have to register your car on the self service kiosks, which is simple enough. The room was larger than expected which made it very comfortable to settle in for the week. Lots of storage spaces as well. One downside in our room was the power plugs were too close to the table top, so we couldn’t plug one of our chargers in, and even the other charger only just fit. Other plugs in the room were too close to the floor. The bathroom was very clean and had good water pressure. Only downside was the toilet flush didn’t have a lot of force and took a number of flushes to get the job done. There’s a staircase between the hotel car park and Sainsbury’s next door which was much appreciated so you don’t have to walk along the dual carriageway. The Sainsbury’s car park also gives you access to a number of other shops and restaurants in walking distance (including a pedestrian bridge to the other side of the motorway).

Generally good hotel, breaks the journey if you’re heading off to France by ferry or shuttle

Pros: The room was very clean and had all the bits and bobs you need ( hair dryer, fan, iron, tea making stuff, tv and a fridge). The hotel also provided a travel cot for our baby. The room had a great sea view. The hotel it self is interesting, a bit run down and rough round the edges. There was live entertainment in the “ballroom” every night, which was cringy in an amusing way. The location is excellent. The room price was very reasonable (mid week). It is a budget hotel not a luxury one. Negatives: the front desk is very understaffed, we wanted to extend our stay and had to queue at reception, only to then be told we had to book via a phone attached to the wall. When we used the phone we were quoted £10 more than hotels.com. We then had to queue for another 20mins to get new key cards. There was only 1 receptionist for a hotel with hundreds of rooms. The pool was pleasant enough but you have to pay £4 each every single time you use it (even as a paying guest at the hotel). I think that’s a bit cheeky and I’ve never experienced that in a hotel before. They could at least add a single charge to your room for a pool pass instead. We didn’t have breakfast as I thought it was a little over priced. Over all we enjoyed staying there and will definitely be returning.
