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.
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.

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.
The room was clean but old ,there was no water jug and the fridge wasn't turned on ,the door was hard to open and loud .the stuff was very friendly and helpful. Overall I was happy with the accommodation.

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.

Very convenient to the Darling Harbour area and Light Rail. Bit noisy of a night but that’s the area.. Rooms were great and we loved the look and feel of the old hotel. Would recommend

No lift, windows best to be double glazing, bathroom is too dim although it is clean. No clothes hanger in the bathroom. Please put 'Quite' at the corridor. Ppl speaks loud.
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.
I was very impressed with the Dunkirk. The room was spotless, bed very comfortable and the shared bathroom clean and functional.

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.
