Very good value and central location. I loved my room. It was renovated but still retained an antique charm. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive I enjoyed the full strength cocktails at bargain prices during happy hour. The meals are good too if you don't want to go out. I would definitely stay there again.
Ray was very helpful during our stay. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Sydney. Matt was very helpful answering my email questions before our arrival.
I was very impressed with the Dunkirk. The room was spotless, bed very comfortable and the shared bathroom clean and functional.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was spotless. The staff went out of their way to help two jet-lagged, weary travelers. When we told them we had an early morning tour, they gave us helpful information on where to find groceries.
I had a lovely experience at the Dunkirk. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the staff really friendly, the price of the accommodation great. It’s unfortunate my stay was short, as I was really comfortable there and can say that I will certainly stay there again!! Thank you to the Dunkirk Hotel family for a wonderful stay.
