ibis budget Dunkerque Grande Synthe

I booked this as hotel accommodation as it is a challenge to get rooms at times due to availability in Dunkirk. This is a very basic hotel but it delivers what it says on the tin, a bit out of the way from restaurants, shops but just off the motorway. Breakfast is very basic. Perhaps its worth investing in some decent mattresses.

overnight stay in budget hotel

Great location (very close to Eurotunnel and ferry), great parking, professional and friendly staff. I know it was only a budget one star hotel but I would expect at least my hotel room to be clean. The bed was the only clean thing in the room area. The floor in the room looked dirty and there was an awful smell that even after the window being opened for a long time could not be removed. I don't really know what it was but it smelt like a stale vomit that was not properly cleaned from the floor. The bathroom was tiny but fairly clean. The shower was a total disaster - a weird angle and no shower screen or curtain and water ended up all over the bathroom floor. After 15.5 hours of driving I checked in just before 21:00 and after the issues were identified there was no staff at the front desk to raise those. I was also extremely tired and only had a short sleep before I carried on with my journey. I did not really sleep as I could not fall asleep with that smell and when I dozed off I kept waking up - I left way earlier than I would have wanted. I was relieved to leave that room in the morning to escape from that smell. I'd not be able to spend another night there.

Great location not far from the motorway. Rooms are basic but nice and clean just how it's expected. Breakfast is very good

Comfortable overnight stay

This was Probably One Of The Worst Ibis Hotels I've Ever Stayed In and I've stayed in lots. This place was dark and dingy with narrow staircases, inadequate bathrooms, uncomfortable beds and ancient decor. I've stayed in many F1 hotels that are better than this.

An uninspired stay.

The hotel was well equipped and breakfast was good. It would have been good to have extra pillows though. Also the coffee machine in the foyer is a good idea although couldn't find anything without sugar. Overall the hotel location and price very pleasing

We stayed overnight prior to our ferry crossing. Check in was straight forward, the room was clean and basic, as was the tiny en suite. Towels provided. Free parking is a huge bonus. Only negatives are there was a smell of cigarette smoke on stairs and landing. Drinks machine dispenses half full cups of coffee or chocolate.

Stayed here overnight Saturday and great as always. Ground floor room clean and tidy comfy bed. Great breakfast Sunday morning what more can you ask c

It was okay, but it would have been good to have two pillows as they were quite small. When we arrived, it was all locked up, but we managed to get through by following another car. We were able to complete the online checkin quite easily.

As a budget hotel it is popular with tradesmen away from home. That's fine but it was noisy with residents coming back from the pub, talking loudly and playing music at 1 am. Still managed to get the ferry though.

Room was quite good including shower and toilet. Clean an in good order. Breakfast wasd not very good. Appeared to only offer croissants, sliced Brioche neither of which I particularly like, and small pieces of sliced bagette, and honey and jam,. Did not appear to offer sliced meat, sliced cheese etc. The IBIS hotels I stay use in Germany all offer rolls and sliced (normal) bread and sliced meats cheese jams joghurt and sometimes boiled eggs. I know places and people differ but I was disappointed with the breakfast offered.

The hotel is minutes away from the Dunkirk ferry port a hotel is clean staff friendly and not far away from the shopping centre where there are good places to eat

After a long drive a quiet, relaxing, un-fussy hotel is what's required.
