B&B Hotel Dunkerque Centre Gare

Clean and friendly stuff i want to book here next time very nice breskfast and its near in the train station you can walk walk near the sea

Good location in front of the station. Clean. The main problem is the noise of the beds due to the wooden structure (maybe old ?). Rooms quite small but OK. Internet system not so stable

Budget hotels in France are generally rather grim experiences and this is actually a little bit better. Check-in was a fast and pleasant experience with the girl on reception being friendly and speaking good English after my pretty terrible attempts in French! The rooms are accessed by a keycode which is written on a piece of paper rather than you being given a conventional key or card - don't hit the town too hard and lose it/spill beer on it or let it blow away! There is no air conditioning so you'll probably need to open the window - if you are station side, there will likely be the noise of usual late-night revelry that occurs at stations worldwide. The room was clean as was the linen but the bathroom could have done with seeing a bit of mildew remover and a re-seal. The bed felt like they had done a makeshift repair with some large sheets of MDF rather than putting a proper bed base down so that whilst the mattress was nice, the bed itself clunked a lot - its not the place for romance! There is plenty of parking nearby although the roadworks do make finding the entrances a little challenging. The station car park is free but the entrance is a long way from the hotel and difficult to find the entrance amongst the cones. If you want the ultimate security, the Parking garage centre gare is a multi-storey secure car park which will cost between 8-10 euros a night depending on your arrival and departure time. The stairwells are clean and at night the shutters come down but automatically open when you want to leave. You also can't access the pedestrian doors without a ticket. Motorcyclists or people who have stuff they want to leave in the car might find this useful. It's OK for a night before a morning ferry but nothing more. On Sunday there is also nothing open for breakfast nearby either.

The staff was very friendly and helpful but the room was not as I would expect. I didn‘t like the stains on the floor and on the shower curtain and the broken soap dispenser. The area around the hotel was quiet noisy. Also the possibilities for getting any snacks or drinks were quiet spare. There was a snack vending machine with sweets and drinks but it didn’t work or the staff hadn’t any key. All in all the stay didn‘t fit the price.
