Nice big spacious room
The family room was spacious, clean & comfortable. It was nice to make a cuppa in the morning! I would stay again but bring noise canceling ear buds as the traffic was noisy outside all night on Pyrmont bridge Rd . The hotel offered ear plugs but I didn’t find them in kitchen draw till morning . The windows are not double glazed. Window in kitchen needs block out blind as sun came through early in the am.

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.

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.

Average, for the price convenient & walkable. Broken furniture & fan, door tends to get stuck! Needs refurbishing. Old building hence room is smelly.

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!

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.

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

Shared bathrooms were clean. Staff doubled as bartender and servers at the pub. Heated carafe was junked up with previous occupants residual Raman. Yuck. LOUD on some nights. Lots of traffic noise including emergency vehicles. Ceiling fan adequate to keep cool in March, but needed to keep windows open too, so….LOUD.
