“Absolutely charming hotel in a perfect location only a short walk from the beach. The hosts are extremely kind and welcoming, and the rooms perfectly clean and comfortable. Though there are many great restaurants in Dunkirk, the one in the hotel is exceptional, and reasonably priced. You will not find better value for your stay in Dunkirk.”

“I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. After viewing pictures of the room on Priceline, my expectations were low but I was impressed. The room was very clean and modern. I would definitely stay here again. Also, the staff were great, especially Julie. She was super welcoming.”

“First of all, the restaurant is amazing. It’s worth just eating here even if you don’t stay the night. Fabulous culinary experience. I had the fish soup and.a steak and enjoyed every minute of it. If you can look past the small lobby, the hotel Itself is well acquainted. I looked at both rooms and it’s well worth the “Superior” room upgrade for just a bit more. Breakfast was quite basic with heavy reliance on bread and not much more. Typical French-basic, but I felt it could have been better considering the really excellent restaurant attached to the hotel. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms make this a a fairly priced “recommended” from me. For breakfast or a coffee go somewhere else nearby. Note that there is a door code on your room key if you get back late.”
