I had to park underneath the building there was old carpets dumped under there and rubbish. The entrance door was broke, the gentleman on reception was very polite and well mannered. I had to pay extra for my dog and extra for parking. The room was very dated but I didn’t mind that, What I didn’t like was the fact it was freezing even with the radiator on. I couldn’t have a shower because it was so cold in the room.

Great welcome during check in. 😃

I would happily recommend this accommodation. It is based at (and overlooks) Folkestone harbour which is ideal plus the shopping area is spread around very closely with plenty of places to eat and drink. This is the second time at the hotel and staff go above and beyond to make the stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Fine but would not return

Staff were nice, great location. Hotel itself was cheap but reflective of that it was very shabby and run down. There was no breakfast available as deliveries hadn’t come. There was a shoeless man passed out on the floor in the lobby at 10am, police there multiple times during our two day visit, felt pretty dodgy. Shower gel/shampoo dispenser empty, only one towel for two guests for two nights and no hot water in the shower in the evening. The bedroom had no lamps just harsh overhead lights, and we could hear every word the neighbours in the next rooms were saying. Would not stay again but it was fine for the price, the location is really great and the staff very nice and friendly, especially the man who had the unpleasant job of turning people away from breakfast.

Bargain Hotel for the Price.

It's a large hotel, totally cashless from check-in to the bar, no cash accepted anywhere. Made a mistake with my room allocation but quickly resolved by Dave on reception who was doing the job of two people. Decor could be better and the rooms but for what I paid it was outstanding. £5 to park your vehicle overnight but overall very good. The view over the sea in the morning was very welcome.
