I had a great stay with a lovely room with a private bathroom and kitchenette. I was very surprised how spacious the room was with a fan and aircon . I liked the location close to the light rail and easy walk to the city centre. The only down side to the property is you have to climb stairs to get to your room, wifi was not very good and only a couple of TV channels were available on the TV. I would highly recommend for a budget stay in Sydney or an overnight stay.

Location whilst noisy was convenient. Property dilapidated and a coat of superficial paint would take the eye from the scratched doors and surrounds. Carpets on stairs dirty and not welcoming. Bedding and towels clean and good quality, comfy beds, no air-conditioning and fan without the light a challenge. Overall OK but a few $'s could make a big difference to returning again. I have been an Exec. Housekeeper, my eye is keen.

If you enjoy folk singing Karaoke this is your place on a Tuesday. Great to hear folk letting go and enjoying themselves. (Otherwise bring ear plugs). Thanks DK!

Staff were so nice and food in the pub is delicious! Very close to multiple bus stops and a nice quick walk over to darling harbor. Very close to ICC theatre so if you're attending an event there this is a great option.

Great concept for a boutique hotel in a restored older building. Staff were friendly, polite and responsive. Noise level was loud from the street and even louder from the live music from the main floor bar. But we were expecting this due to previous reviews and all had our own noise cancelling earbuds. Beds were comfortable. The cleanliness however was not up to standard with dirty walls and ceiling and dishes in the cupboard. Because we were in the family room we had a private vs shared bathroom which was good, but the one side of the flush mechanism on the top of the toilet had broken off and the other side didn’t work on the side that was broken off in its place were 2 bamboo sticks. So every time someone went to the bathroom you had to grab hold of these 2 sticks and push them down in just the right place in order to flush the toilet. This was extremely un-hygienic and quite literally disgusting. I think the staff should have informed us of this earlier in the day as we had had communication with them. We were exhausted after a long day of travelling and didn’t arrive until almost midnight. The front desk had shut down by the time we saw the issue. We could have booked a different room or a different hotel had we been given the option, but we were not. For this, and the dirty dishes that had been put away in the cupboard I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I booked for 6 days for my brother, he only stayed there for one night and had to find a new hotel to book because the hotel was not as good as they showed in the pictures, the door was hard to open and the fan was not working and it’s summer so it was burning hot. We asked for a refund and for at least the remaining days that we paid for but they insisted on not giving us our money back. What a waste of $700.

This property is in a fabulous location and walkable to all the main attractions and bus stop is right outside if needed. Only issue which is out of the Dunkirks control is the traffic noise - it is very loud so bring some earplugs - also no AC just ceiling fan so can get a bit warm - we still loved our stay at The Dunkirk

The staff were super friendly and helpful and the room was in really good condition and nice and clean. It’s in a great location near some nice neighbourhoods to check out. I really enjoyed my stay here. The only thing that might annoy some guests is that is is quite noisy as it’s next to a busy road and above a pub but they provide ear plugs and whilst some people might not have enjoyed hearing the karaoke night going on at the pub downstairs, I personally found it really entertaining! Would definitely recommend.
