“Confirmed booking but hotel closed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2009

We arrived at 1900hrs on a wet cold evening after driving 500 miles to find the hotel closed despite an exchange of e-mails with Nadine Fleury confirming our reservation. We banged on the door, we hooted our horn as we could see an occuppied upstairs room with a television on, we telephoned a number on a scrapof paper stuck to the restaurant window but the phone was not answered.

The hotel had our mobile number but made no attempt to warn us. What a way to treat customers!

Stayed September 2009, travelled as a couple

“Great location, hotel in need of TLC”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2009

The location is excellent, right on the beach. Hotel itself is a little bit dated and in need of some TLC. Bathroom was ok, but bed linen a bit worn. Room was pretty small. Shutters on windows were great and allowed us a good nights sleep. Overall reasonable for the price paid but not sure if we'll be back before our next ferry trip. Finding a good hotel in the Dunkirk Ferry terminal area seems hard.

“Very good location but 2 miles from Gravelines itself (Petite Pt Philipe)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2008

Small rooms but very clean. Bathroom had hairdryer and separate heater. Staff spoke very little English but were friendly. Great Sunday market in the town square. Had a delicious evening meal at L'Arlequin in the square (recommended by many locals).

  • Liked — Proximity to Calais and Dunkerque
  • Disliked — Size of room

“Great Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2008

Small hotel on the prom with a great view of the beach, our room was quit small but as we were only there for one night it was no problem. Had a double bed, Shower, Toilet & Coffe/Tea facilties in room (unusual for a small Fench hotel).

Got there at about twenty to six and there was a sign in window of bar saying opeing at six with a phone number below. Rang the number and was told they open at six and I you have to wait , You will have to wait!. thought I was at a British B&B, so went for a walk along the beach to the nearby river which was rather nice.Popular with locals but not noisey

In the evening we had a pleasent meal in the hotel for 24 euro plus wine, followed by a walk along the breakwater by the river to the sea.

Room was 59 euro and Breakfast was 7.5 euro each.

Down points - rooms small and a bit tired.quirky start.

Good points - staff very nice , Location on Beach , Private parking
