Room was clean. Didn’t expect to be sharing bathrooms with other rooms. Toilet was clogged for a full day in in one of the bathrooms. Noisy street and building. Wifi didn’t work and neither did TV. When asking staff if they could help, they tried one thing it didn’t work and then never followed up. Wouldn’t stay here again I was excepting more of a hotel then a hostel feel.

Friendly, helpful staff. We were in Sydney from interstate, to see a show at the Lyric Theatre. The Dunkirk was perfect for proximity to the Star Casino and to light rail, restaurants, and other tourist attractions. Clean, comfortable room with a small kitchenette and access to the hotel rooftop. Many thanks to the Dunkirk team.

The room itself was decent for the price and in a good location, sometimes a bit loud but I was expecting that. But cleanliness and maintenance was really bad, my room had a broken lampshade, a loud fridge, food stains all over the menu and the tray with the utensils and what looked like blood / vomit stains on the sheets, which I only noticed as I was leaving so slept in these for several nights.

Placeringen er genial. 25 min gåtur til Operaen og mindre til det store Australske museum, Botaniske have og det Maritime museum. Hotellet er også en Sportspub og derfor tjekker man ind i baren. God og hurtigt service, hvor jeg blev vist op på værelset og fik en quick tour af stedet. Virkelig fint. Værelset var med fælles bad og der var 4 til cirka 16 værelser og de var i god standard, så det var også godt. Tirsdag aften er karaoke aften og selvom jeg ikke deltog, lød det til at være meget festligt. En anden god gang havde jeg måske sunget en enkel sang. Det stoppede heldigvis kl. 23. En lille minus side var, at aircondition larmede så meget, så jeg slukkede den i frygt for ikke at kunne høre mit vækkeur. Men loft ventilatoren klarede næsten varmen. Alt i alt en ok oplevelse. Lidt slidt, men med sjæl og god beliggenhed.

Room was clean, shared bathroom was clean, but the electricity didn’t work very well. There’s also two flights of stairs if you’re bringing luggage so be warned (it’s a very old building). Great location just outside of downtown but a little loud at night.

Disliked: Amenities
Jeg bodde på hotellet i fem netter, og opplevelsen var blandet. Beliggenheten var veldig bra, i et fint område med enkel tilgang til attraksjoner og fasiliteter. Selve hotellet føltes mer som et budsjett-alternativ. Resepsjonen var plassert i en bar, noe som gjorde det litt forvirrende å finne frem i starten. Rommet var greit, men kunne vært bedre rengjort, og det ble ikke gjort noen rengjøring i løpet av oppholdet. Støy fra gaten utenfor var merkbar, og airconditionen var ganske bråkete, noe som påvirket nattesøvnen. Alt i alt et ok sted for kortere opphold hvis beliggenhet er viktig, men man bør ikke forvente et tradisjonelt hotellopplegg eller høy komfort.
