    We booked Hotel Donny last minute after a couple of days in Lille and a trip further up the Belgian coast. We were looking for some rest and relaxation after a busy few days and Hotel Donny gave us exactly that! The room was comfortable and enormous, a welcome surprise after budget hotel stays! We ventured down to the beach and woke up to the sounds of the trams with the sea rolling as we enjoyed a coffee on our balcony looking out to the beach. The Sanocentre was a perfect afternoon to enjoy each other’s company and look after ourselves. Breakfast was fabulous with so much choice! The manager was incredibly approachable and we enjoyed our conversation with him, the atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for and we enjoyed every minute at the property! We can’t wait to return!

    A relaxing hotel with great breakfast, spa facilities, and a convenient location near the beach.

    The parking area was limited, so once you left, your previous spot might not be available. The beds were not very comfortable and moved easily, which made sleeping difficult.

    The breakfast was generous with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The pool and both steam and dry saunas were excellent and not crowded. The room was larger than expected, the hotel had parking, and the location was calm and close to the beach.

    We paid for a balcony deluxe room, and our entire balcony view was of solar panels. It was disappointing.

    Good location. Nice spa facilities. Room was decent, not great. Restaurant had great lunch and dinner menu, breakfast mediocre at best. Staff very friendly.

    Pool water didn't feel treated, and the sauna & hamam area were smelling very bad. Regarding the gym, although the area is big, there is very little diversity and most of the equipment are very poorly maintained.

    Breakfast was very good

    Hours of sauna, wish it was longer/later. Circulation in room due to the shower was lacking, created humidity, couldn’t open blinds to window due to lack of privacy/other room had direct sight to look in our room.

    The sauna features/showers and pool, the bed comfort and the room set up. Great amount of parking. Location was perfect.

    After our second stay, the Donny has already turned into our come-back-to hotel. Its location is perfect, the private parking makes all the difference when you travel with the family, four-legged included. Pet friendliness is exceptional, which we find a critical point in making decisions about our next stay. (Pets are not allowed into the restaurant and wellness area though) Family rooms are light and spacious, ours equipped with two balconies, and with enough closets to avoid messiness during the stay. Facilities, including the pool, gym, spa, are ample, catering to different tastes and needs, and all clean and well-maintained. We have not had our dinners at the hotel (we prefer buzzing around), but the great breakfast hints at some good eating in the evenings as well. The bar and lounge/lobby area is spacious and cosy and we have enjoyed spending time there (you may want to check their raspberry mojito), both in the evenings and for our morning reading over a cup of tea.

    Only small thing was that there was only single beds in the prestige room. It did show that on the booking so wasn’t a surprise but was hoping for a double / king for the price. Was comfortable though.

    Friendly staff, clean, pool was great and breakfast was fantastic

    The menu, for us, was rather limited but, I imagine, suited the local tastes.

    The star of our stay was Maelle. She checked us in, ran to help when we tripped and took our orders for dinner. Throughout she was friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you. We thought the hotel to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. We were a little concerned that breakfast did not start until 0800hrs as we had to drive to Dunquirke for our ferry, but service started before 0800hrs so we’re able to enjoy breakfast before we left. Our salad chèvre chaud at dinner was very good but our burgers were over cooked. Our bed was very comfortable. Parking was very convenient.
