What's nearby

  • Dover, England, is a major port for ferries to Calais, France. The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km). June 2017

Twin Ensuite room

Had a nice night's stay in a twin bedroom ensuite. Very clean with decent furniture and towels. The ensuite could do with a bit of attention; the temperature control for the shower needs loosening off as it was very hard to change the very hot setting it was stuck on (Scalding). The extractor fan didn't work either. Could do with a fan when the weather is hot as room got very stuffy and hot during the night. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Would probably stay again

Clean enough for us but not hotel standard. Small room so the slanted roof did make getting in bed slightly difficult. Towels, bedding, shampoo, shower gel and tea/coffee supplied. Staff were friendly. It is quiet loud in the evening with people outside and with traffic in the morning. They do not do breakfast despite it stating that they do on their website, inconvenient but we found a diner nearby. Large car park but was very full, we had to park elsewhere until pub was almost closing.

Review

The hotel was amazing it was clean and comfy, I only stayed for 1 night, the only problem with my room was there was no where to sit and work other then on the bed, a corner desk would fix that when I had a shower and turned the heat up there was no real way to turn it down and they didn’t do food other then pizza but there is a place to eat 5 minutes walk, the staff was amazingly friendly the room was clean the bed was comfy

Easy to find and comfortable.

A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.
