Review 6：Me and my partner allways like this hotel,whenever possible we like to stay there it is so popular that you have to book well in advance,we allways get a room with balcony as it is right next to the beach and promenade,it is such a beautiful place.
Review 7：Very Friendly. I travelled by Motorcycle and was told to park my bike right outside the hotel entrance! Was great to be treated like a human being not a man behind a helmet. Biker Friendly!
Review 8：Very friendly reception, welcoming to my terriers and myself. The location was superb, right on the beach and it was excellent value for money, with free public parking nearby. The price is very good and there are even complimentary tooth and shaving kits. I will be coming back!
Review 9：Nothing really :]

Review 15：When i arrived, I thought the place was not open. But simply ring the door bell.

Review 20：The close proximity to the beach and restaurants the friendly staff the only thing missing was a cup of tea in the room
Review 21：Some distance from the city centre. Not much room in the bathroom. sink and shelf not a great amount of space to shave. Shower did not look good. But actually was not bad.
Review 22：The hotel was clean and tidy. Close to beach and restaurants. Breakfast was good plenty to choose from. Which cost 7 euros each per day. I think should be blended in room charge.

Review 108：The location - just a short walk to the beach.
Review 109：The beach area is quiet during the day but on the Friday night we werethere it went a bit crazy, with some lunatic karaoke singer actuallyblocking the street with an assembled crowd and singing dreadful songsuntil well after midnight. There were many hundreds of people on thebeachfront.
Review 110：The staff are nice, parking is ok, location is next to beach
Review 111：Very good location, very near the beach in Dunkirk with free parking. Extremely friendly greeting. A basic but nice hotel and excellent for a stop-over.
Review 112：Very comfortable and quiet. However, if you like Rock music book thishotel around the 21st June as the roads around the hotel are alivewith bands and along the Malo version of the Golden Mile, well intothe evening.
Review 113：Rooms, especially the bathrooms were very small and a little worn.Didn't like the macerating toilets, very noisy.
Review 114：Very convenient for ferries and tunnel. Owner put motorbikes in his lockup garage for us.Very helpful, spoke perfect English. Plenty of bars and places to eat all around. Casino just across the road. Almost right on the sea front, small balcony to sit out on and watch the world go by. Food in the bar was very good. Menu in French but we were able to get help with the translation. Bed comfy. Breakfast cost €7 per head and had a good choice for continental.
Review 115：For the reasonable cost the hotel is adequate but lacks a lift, and the toilet draiage is small bore saniflo type which is noisy
Review 116：The Hotel is well located and the rooms are of a good size and well furnished for a short stay. The Restaurant is excellent with a wide menu and first rate quality and presentation
Review 117：Nothing seemed to be open on a Wednesday in Dunkirk. Not the hotelsfault though. Bathroom was very small.
Review 118：Ok for an overnight stay prior to catching ferry to the uk. Wifi was okwhen it worked. Had some problems with it but the owner re-booted it andit then was ok.
Review 119：Bathroom very small. Couldn't close shower door. Smell of drains. Room could have been cleaner - cobwebs hanging from ceiling. No lift.
Review 120：Good location near beach. Bars and restaurants nearby. Parking at back of hotel. Reception not manned all the time but we rang the door bell and the manager came down to let us in. Good continental breakfast.
Review 121：Not really the hotels fault but the whole town of Malo les Bains looks a bit tired, could do with a big facelift. Still, everyone i met was very friendly and helpful.
Review 122：Helpful staff, proximity of restaurants and beach.
Review 123：Customer service was very poor. On booking, the hotel emailed me askingme to ensure I arrived during check in times of 12-3pm or 6-9pm. I gotthere at 1pm and there were no staff around, just a contact number whichwent straight to an answer phone. Had to phone booking.com who chased upthe owner. They eventually called me back to see if I could wait 5hrstil 6pm to check in - ridiculous. They eventually gave me a code and Ichecked myself in. For breakfast the owner asked what time I would likeit. Served between 7-9am hey said. I said 7.30am. That morning at 7.30amthere was no one there and when they arrived at 8am, they laughed at mesaying did I not know it was a French bank holiday and that everythingis running later - why did they not tell me this when they asked me theday before what time I wanted breakfast. They did not even offer anapology for my inconvenience and costly international phone callschasing them up throughout my stay. This was a real shame as the hotelwas quite nice. Customer service was really quite awful.
Review 124：Nice compact room with good views from balcony - good value.
Review 125：the room was very small and there was no kettle and my husband and i like to have a cup of tea first thing in the morning
Review 126：the room was clean and the toiletries were very good
Review 127：Area a bit scruffy. Info in the room states restaurant only open Thurs-Sunday but we realised too late that it was open the rest of the week?Room décor a bit 'tired'. Bathroom rather compact - showermastic roughly applied. Not much clothes hanging space.
Review 128：Seaside position - balcony. Restaurant in the hotel. Good selection oflocal restaurants. Owner friendly. Free parking. Walking distance totown centre.
