About Dunes Hotel
Dunes Hotel occupies a spot on South Parade in Whitley Bay, a straightforward terraced building that's been given over to modern coastal accommodation. It sits within easy reach of the beach and the town's shops, making it a practical base for a seaside stay rather than a grand architectural statement.
Rooms are clean and comfortable, with several benefiting from large windows and beds that guests find genuinely restful. Family rooms are available alongside standard doubles, and every room comes with an en-suite bathroom, free WiFi and drinks provided. Storage can be a bit tight, as some rooms have limited shelving, so packing light helps. Staff are on hand around the clock at the 24 hour reception, and there's free on-site parking along with luggage storage for those arriving early or leaving late.
Beyond the hotel itself, the surrounding area offers plenty to fill the days: golf and fishing nearby, walking and cycling routes, and a choice of pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach. It's a fair-value option for anyone wanting to be close to the beach without paying over the odds.
What guests say
If you are after no frills budget accommodation then I recommend it to you. Everything was clean and in working order and my single room was plenty big enough for me. Note that the rooms are not wheelchair accessible.

Spent a night just as the heat wave was subsiding but still a bit warm. The room was cooking over night and made sleep difficult. There is no fan in the room and the little window that opens does not help much. We were on the first floor facing the road so the street noise was also going on late into the night. Had good hot water in the shower but nowhere to put toiletries in the shower. Also no convenient plugs for chargers and such next to the bed. The free parking, the location of the hotel, and the price were great though.

Love the dunes hotel and have stayed a few times. The location is perfect with shops, pub and a little cafe next door and the beach is just down the road. The rooms are clean and comfortable and if you need anything someone is always there to help. The staff are amazing, friendly and always helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay. xx

Room 6a - Spacious room , comfortable bed and great big windows for plenty of light and catching the sunset. The only issue with the room is neither plugs are near the bed. (Thankfully I have a long cable )
