Dune De L'orient

close to beach, shops and restaurants

Location, lovely old building & good staff.

Overpriced. No hot water.

Mr. Ram and the staff were lovely, and it was a real heritage property with authenticity, from the furnishings, architecture and general feel. Breakfast and mealtimes exceeded expectations.

Our room was on the ground floor, which meant that it could get noisy during mealtimes. However, it was quiet at night. All good :)

Beautiful, spacious and airy room with colonial vibe. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Bathroom was a little cramped and the shower was fussy.

It’s location

There were Rodents in the room.. AC was not working properly.. I had to call for a fan in the midnight.. there were too many mosquitoes..

Fabulous location. Wonderful and helpful staff. Property is lovely too. This is my third time staying here.

Bathrooms need an upgrade.

Such a beautiful quaint hotel, filled with wonderful antiques, was like stepping back in time. Wonderfully located in French quarter, perfect location to experience this part of town

Misunderstanding with booking.com and payment proceeding to hotel, which made an unpleasant comment for me with staff.

The location of the hotel is good. The heritage factor of the hotel & the fact I was last there 21 years ago when it was in previous ownership.

The hotel needs more care and attention. Whilst our room was very nice, the bathroom was poor, basic towels, little in the way of shower gel/soap etc. the hot water was scalding hot. There are no lounge/relaxing areas in the hotel. It’s either your room or the restaurant. The restaurant needs a real overhaul. The menu seems extensive but little was available during our stay. Breakfast was a real disappointment, from reading the hotel website we were expecting a good French/Indian breakfast but it was very basic and poorly refurbished, even though only a few people were in evidence. Apart from one or two members of the staff in the restaurant, the staff seemed rather disinterested and were on their phones a lot. We don’t want to be unfair, but we were really looking forward to going back there after so long, and were sorry that Dune Wellness do not seem to have made the most of such a gorgeous historical hotel.

The location is great and the restaurant is excellent.Beautifully restored old building and decor.We appreciated being able to change to a room on the first floor with daylight through the windows!

The first room we stayed in was on ground floor and windows facing courtyard so having daylight was a challenge.The bathroom was rudimentary in ground floor room.

Firstly specify type of room you would like, DO NOT ACCEPT THE ATTIC ROOM. Good breakfast and good dinner menu. Nice wine selection and cold beer. The manager and staff were very helpful and tried to please. The property is charming and well located in white town. The beach is close by. A lovely courtyard to eat and drink in.

Loved the 18 Century building/ layout / vibe of place was more than expected for 3 STAR... would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Staff were FANTASTIC and ALL were polite and really made an effort even with limited English.

No fridge in room - When I requested the Staff were fantastic and arranged replacement(Think the original must have broken down & removed??) next day staff had one installed in room so we could have cold water/drinks etc Really appreciated as the days are hot 30-35 degrees.

The location

Room is overpriced for what it is and very dark. Reception staff were not very welcoming upon arrival which is just unprofessional.

Lovely heritage building. Staff were excellent and very helpful!

Shower could do with an update

The kitchen staff were very hard working and the food was very good

Might have preferred a brighter room

Property was absolutely beautiful and staff was really accommodating. The location of these place was also great ?

I think veg breakfast menu could have been a bit more diversed, but it was still decent

The property is amazing and the staff is very supportive and professional. Its also very centrally located.

The AC in our room wasn't very effective, probably because of the size of the suite. However, whenever we called staff was always ready to help with it

We were given a large room with a large balcony in this 18th century building. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and conversational throughout our stay. Also, the food for breakfast and in the restaurant generally was something I looked forward to every day.

The building was beautiful and our room was comfortable and exceptional. The staff were very nice and helpful. The restaurant was good for dinner. Location was great.

The hot water was non existent most of the time. The taps at times had no water at all. We had a pump outside our room that woke us up during the night with a high pitched sound which continued on through the early for hours. The breakfast was particularly poor. Considering the expensive price we paid for the room it was not great value given the above.

Only the RESTURANT was good

The room that we got was noisy. Everyone coming in and out of the hotel we could here conversationsThe beds were too high for us to climb up as we are senior citizens

Nothing in particular. It was very average

The bed in the suite was very uncomfortable. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. Food was average. Didn't quite like the experience.
