Convenient for ferry with good restaurants in walking distance
This hotel is older and lacks special amenities, but is quiet, clean, perfectly located for walking, and provides easy access to the beach and tourist spots. The staff is kind and offered a reasonable breakfast.

Only stopped in so I did not have a long ride to the tunnel back to the UK in the morning. They let me check in at noon, room was dated but pleasant. Comfy sleep, nice shower and the bike was safe and sound in the car park. No complaints here.
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 The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area.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.
Classed as a two star hotel this place should at least be a three star.
Clean, good quality friendly staff. We stayed before and didn't have the best of sleep but this time upgraded the bedroom and it was clean comfortable and a great stay for your money.

Nice area. Hotel on the older side and need some maintenance/upgrade but wonderful people at the desk and management. However, room was clean, bed was comfortable and bathwoom was nice. Good stay was had.
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!

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.
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.
