Mercure Dunkerque Centre Gare in Dunkerque

It’s better not to open the windows, as loud shouting from the street at night made it very unpleasant to rest. The room had no individual air conditioning. The bed linen was dirty and stained, and I ended up changing it myself since neither the cleaning staff nor the receptionist (who didn’t even know how to make a proper bed) handled it. Breakfast was very disappointing — there weren’t even any fruits available.

The accommodation is in a central location — right next to the train station. That wouldn’t be a problem; the windows are well insulated, so you can’t hear the noise from outside (buses, trains, crowds).
The rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly.

So why do I only give it 1 star?

At breakfast, on the cold buffet, there’s no ham or other cold cuts. If someone doesn’t eat pork, dairy, or eggs — or is sensitive to these — they unfortunately have to find a shop just to avoid going hungry.

The rooms are clean, but the bathroom has its issues. The shower cabin only has one door, so if you’re not careful, the entire bathroom will be flooded.

There is no adjustable air conditioning or proper ventilation in the room. Instead, there’s a vent on the wall that blows cold air at full force — directly onto your head where you’re supposed to sleep. Lying in front of it felt like riding a motorbike without a helmet! The icy blast of air will literally freeze the smile on your face.

And on top of all this, don’t be surprised if you wake up in the morning and find you’re no longer alone in your room — several pairs of eyes watching your every move in the form of 1.5–2 cm cockroaches!

I’ve stayed in many B&B hotels before, but unfortunately this one left me with a very bad impression.

I’m sorry to hear that you don’t believe me. I have attached another photo, showing the cockroach on the toilet brush, and I made sure to share the images with the location data included as well.
