Personnel is really good and willing to deliver a great service. The problem is the hotel itself. It was and old hospital. It’s kind of creepy when you walk through the aisles and see the floor with the yellow lines, the doors, floors, walls and toilettes of a hospital or nursing home

La salle de bain etait très insatisfaisante : la chasse du wc était très difficile à activer, il fallait s’y reprendre à plusieurs reprises vu le débit d’eau insuffisant et le bouton très dur à pousser ; le distributeur de papier toilette etait vide, il y avait un paquet de papier sur l’étagère de l’évier située à 1,5m du pot ; aucun endroit pour poser ses affaires de toilette, juste une petite étagère minuscule ; le support du pommeau de douche etait cassé, impossible de prendre une douche sans tenir soi même le pommeau ; l’évacuation de l’eau de la douche n’était pas suffisante, un balai était présent dans la douche pour racler mais même en faisant des pauses pour racler, l’eau s’échappait dans la pièce, mouillant complètement la serviette tapis de bain pour les pieds… sinon le petit déjeuner américain proposé à 10€ était très simple sans plus, l’œuf sur le plat n’était pas cuit, pas suffisant… le personnel était par contre très poli et sympathique.

Séjour Escale Dunkerque

Accueil par le personnel satisfaisant, la chambre n'était pas prête à 17h, mauvaise surprise que l'on n'ai pas pû prendre une douche avant de se coucher, ni au réveil du fait d'un dysfonctionnement de l'arrivée d'eau. Pour avoir réglé 88€ la nuitée, je suis extrêmement déçue. Mise à part ce désagrément, l'accueil et le service du petit-déjeuner ont été satisfaisants.
