Lunch ok.. bed kraakte heel erg.. last van stampvoetende mensen boven ons. Top is de vriendelijkheid van de mensen en de ligging ten opzichte van het strand en de prijs.

Personnel au top pas les chambres

A 90 euros la nuit on s'attend au moins a ce que ce soit mieux qu'un formule 1 sauf que ce nest pas le cas ! La propreté est là, le personnel tres sympathique , j'espÚre qu'ils sont bien payés a ce prix la chambre car ils doivent se prendre pas mal de reflexions et essaient toujours d'arranger mais les problÚmes sont ailleurs ! C'est une auberge de jeunesse et non un hotel ! Vous vous asseyez sur le lit il crie au secours, la douche est grande mais le jet lol c'est une blague mm en caravane cela coule mieux ..... soit maintenant on sait ..

6/10 Good

Personnel is really good and willing to deliver a great service. The problem is the hotel itself. It was and old hospital. It’s kind of creepy when you walk through the aisles and see the floor with the yellow lines, the doors, floors, walls and toilettes of a hospital or nursing home

La douche et le wc fuites et coulent jours et nuits. Pas de Wi-Fi ?? Pas de restaurant ?? Le restaurant est fermée et le WiFi est fermée volontairement par la direction ??

6/10 Good

La salle de bain etait trĂšs insatisfaisante : la chasse du wc Ă©tait trĂšs difficile Ă  activer, il fallait s’y reprendre Ă  plusieurs reprises vu le dĂ©bit d’eau insuffisant et le bouton trĂšs dur Ă  pousser ; le distributeur de papier toilette etait vide, il y avait un paquet de papier sur l’étagĂšre de l’évier situĂ©e Ă  1,5m du pot ; aucun endroit pour poser ses affaires de toilette, juste une petite Ă©tagĂšre minuscule ; le support du pommeau de douche etait cassĂ©, impossible de prendre une douche sans tenir soi mĂȘme le pommeau ; l’évacuation de l’eau de la douche n’était pas suffisante, un balai Ă©tait prĂ©sent dans la douche pour racler mais mĂȘme en faisant des pauses pour racler, l’eau s’échappait dans la piĂšce, mouillant complĂštement la serviette tapis de bain pour les pieds
 sinon le petit dĂ©jeuner amĂ©ricain proposĂ© Ă  10€ Ă©tait trĂšs simple sans plus, l’Ɠuf sur le plat n’était pas cuit, pas suffisant
 le personnel Ă©tait par contre trĂšs poli et sympathique.

SĂ©jour Escale Dunkerque

Accueil par le personnel satisfaisant, la chambre n'Ă©tait pas prĂȘte Ă  17h, mauvaise surprise que l'on n'ai pas pĂ» prendre une douche avant de se coucher, ni au rĂ©veil du fait d'un dysfonctionnement de l'arrivĂ©e d'eau. Pour avoir rĂ©glĂ© 88€ la nuitĂ©e, je suis extrĂȘmement déçue. Mise Ă  part ce dĂ©sagrĂ©ment, l'accueil et le service du petit-dĂ©jeuner ont Ă©tĂ© satisfaisants.
