Terrible room for a lot of money

We had to climb up five flights of stairs to our room, which had no air conditioning and was a 10 x 10 room without a toilet. We had a shared toilet in the hallway. The stairways were not safe overall the hotel was not worth anywhere close to what we paid for it

What you get for the moneh

Room was serviceable and what you’d expect for the money. Gentleman at front desk was great and made wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. The “continental breakfast” was extremely disappointing. Stale cereal or one slice of toast per person and some warm yogurt. No fruit or anything else.

Large family room with great location

I liked the large family room- a double bed and 3 single beds. It's hard to find something for a family traveling with 3 kids. Only problem was that the room smelled when we arrived. Breakfast was basic, but good: toasted white bread, jam, cereal, milk, tea, coffee, yoghurt. Location is great.

Room was not what I had booked. Hotel offered to give me a 2nd room, but not next to my current room. I was not going to split up my kids. No A/C and fan didn’t work. Attendant offered very little help

It was ok. Old carpet on the floor, tiny bathroom and no AC, which made sleeping tough with the heat.

Great location near Victoria station, shopping, dining, and areas of interest. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning as we visited when it was hot and humid. Otherwise it was a great experience.

We stayed in room #23. The window only opens about 6 inches and there is no air conditioning. All we had was a small fan. It had to be about 100 degrees in the room. The temperature was cooler outside the hotel. We did not sleep either night. We are from Miami and can handle the heat but this was really bad. Possibly a safety issue for somebody with health issues. The hotel needs to disclose this on their website that they do not have air conditioning.

Convenient location and surprisingly quiet! Room clean, but at the very top of the building with no lift. The blurb does point out "no lift". But it was horribly stuffy and hot, even with tbe fan going throughout the night. The man who checked us in was helpful and friendly. This is in contrast to the staff serving breakfast the following morning. There were several problems with the breakfast: 1 Absolutely no concession for gluten free guests. Nothing. 2 No fresh or tinned fruit to eat INSTEAD of glutinous bread. 3 No choice of toast types, just white. When I queried and asked for brown bread the reply was, "we only have white." So we both ended up with yoghurt and coffee for breakfast, and left the four slices of white toast on the table. Moral of the story: if you have dietary needs don't thiink you’ll be eating breakfast there.

Unfortunately my mother died and had to interrupt my stay from 4 to 1 day and the manager didn’t approve my refund even after offering price of death, besides that, the room was old, stained carpets, breakfast was a toast or cereal, not really breakfast, the only plus was the location, and the staff , other than that do yourself a favor an pay more for a better place where you are not jus one number but a person that might have a last minute death in the family to have some consideration for.

Short and quick stay

Value for money. Overall condition of the hotel was ok but there is room for improvement w.r.t cleanliness and furniture. Reception staff was quick and nice. 10 mins walk to Victoria bus/train station.

Everyone at the Dover was wonderful and quite helpful. The rooms are very old and if you are picky about quality of beds/ carpets/ tile- this is not the place for you. However the cleaning of the staff is wonderful, towels/ sheets all very nice. We did not wake up in time for breakfast. The hotel is in a great location which was why we picked it and compared to the prices of other hotels it is reasonable. We were happy! There is a safe you can use and they let you store luggage before and after your reservation time! All in all I would recommend with the caveat of the old and worn interior.
