A great Aussie pub stay with friendly staff. Value for money & safe for three women for a night. Bring your ear plugs for some street noise and make sure you enjoy a meal and drink.

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.

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.

Older budget hotel that is a good value for the money. There is no lift and no private bath (bathrooms are shared. The hotel has a good location. Buses 501 and 389 stop directly in front of the hotel.

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.

The bed was comfortable and the location was good. The bathroom was one of the dirtiest bathrooms I have ever seen in a hotel. The floors in the bathroom/kitchenette needed a very good clean. The parking option wasn’t convenient and was expensive. We were not given a wifi password when the room says free wifi and our room also did not have a tv remote for our tv.

Location of property awsome. The maintenance of rooms really poor. Broken lamps, broken cupboards. Room cleaness was good for beds and utensils. The dust and mould in room are really awful. Shower mould and dirt in the grout, shower had hair and opened shower gel and soap in it. Toilet dust on floor and fixtures, Toilet brush looked like it hadnt been cleaned in weeks. The toilet had wee and toilet paper in it hasnt been flushed. The ceiling had water damage and hasnt been fixed up. Overall would not recommend this place.

Rooms

Many describe the rooms as spacious with comfortable beds, though fittings feel old in places and soundproofing is weak, leading to traffic or bar noise. Air conditioning is often absent (some fans don’t work), and several rooms use shared bathrooms; a few mention patchy Wi-Fi/TV.

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.

The property is well located at a walking distance of a lot of attraction and near the light rail station. Sadly, the room do now have air conditioning. Only a fan on the ceiling that is also the room light is there to keep cool down the room. The hotel is located at a busy corner and opening windows at night to get some cool air is extremely noisy with trucks breaks hissing and clunking.So it is either keeping the light on to sleep or getting woken by the traffic. The room temperature is probably exceeding 30 degrees if the windows are closed.

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

As a solo traveller I spent just over a week at the Dunkirk in Pyrmont- everything was seemless and there was no issues - I ate in the pub a couple of times and the food was very high quality, quick and delicious - I was a little unsure about sharing a bathroom as I made my booking late and this option was not available however there really was no problems at all - everywhere was very clean. My room was huge and the bed was massive - extremely comfy for me and my pillows were Devine (I’m very fussy about pillows) all the staff was super friendly and the hotel was able to hold my bags in a secure place for the day as I had a night time flight - bus stop outside across the road into town and bondi junction was really super convenient - I would stay again and highly recommend - all the best to everyone at the Dunkirk that made my week is Sydney a very memorable one
