We had an enjoyable two night stay. Our room was perfect, clean lovely Seaview oh but the windows actually needed a jolly good clean and the hotel is in a really good position just to go walking to the shops and to the Lower Leas which was absolutely stunning as was the Upper Leas, so yes it was all good! 😁

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Only there 2 nights so adequate for what we wanted. We had a balcony which had a nice view as hotel was on the sea front. The bath needs changing as very stained. Fortunately we only shower and used the mat to cover it otherwise may well have asked for a room change. Staff friendly and evening entertainment good. Free parking

I was told by someone who lived in the area that I stayed at the worst Hotel in England. I booked it last minute because I needed a place to sleep before crossing the channel. I picked the cheapest place in the area so I got what I paid for. However, it could have been better. I paid the same amount on France side but much much better quality Hotel.

Lovely spot with great views. Room was fine for the one night. Breakfast was good enough and the price was pleasing. We travelled as a family of 6. We couldn’t get into the car park so used a nearby one which was more expensive but that was the only choice.

Stayed for one night to attend an event in the Folkestone Creative Arts centre. Would definitely stay here again. We had a lovely twin room with a balcony overlooking the harbour and couldn't have asked for anything better. Many thanks.

Clean and comfortable

Have stayed here a few times. The clientele here can be a bit mixed and have seen some interesting characters but the rooms are clean and comfortable and more often or not with a lovely view of the harbour. For the price I can't fault it. If you want something a bit more upmarket you have to pay for it. But for a bed for the night and the location to the port - this place is excellent.

Cold water for 24hrs. Reported but had to chase for it to be resolved. But they gave a free drink voucher to compensate. Hotel very busy, so you’d think they could afford to refurbish. Walls thin, doors bang, decor tired. Double bed just big enough for one adult! With two, one turn and your falling off!! Laughable.
