The hotel was well positioned in Folkestone. Although comfortable, it was a bit dated and in need of a refurb to give it that looked after feeling. Great size and space.

We paid 49 quid for a double room where the bed was comfy and the place was clean. Basic and a bit tired but can't complain for the price. Convenient for the euro tunnel (10 mins) and coming the night belt meant we didn't have to get up at 2am. The harbour is delightful and a couple of mins walk away as it's the creative quarter. Good for a stroll. Lovely pubs nearby. Would stay here again.

Nice room, great view.

Room was spacious, with a balcony, lovely sea view. Good place to stay for a night. There only appeared to be one lift working, which meant quite a wait especially has most people had luggage.
