AVOID!!! We arrived at the hotel to stay 1 night (Saturday). We had booked using Expedia (also to be avoided). Upon arriving at the hotel, we were told by the person at the reception that we had not paid enough to Expedia and that if we were to stay at the price (already paid), he would not be making money. He requested that if we paid an extra £20 in cash we could stay but this sounded very dodgy to us so we declined. He asked us to call Expedia to tell them that we had not paid enough!!!!! We felt bullied, perplexed and blackmailed. He refused to give us the room at the price we had paid Expedia. We left the hotel as we could not face staying in such place after this experience. Expedia is not helping us (still ongoing). Nothing like this has happened to us before and I have never heard of such an instance whereby a booking is made online, pre-paid and then, when turning up at the hotel, the customer is asked for an extra payment. A new low?

Do not book this hotel!

Hotel is not fit to house a dog. Blood and semen on the bed, bed made out of wood, exposed electrics, shower door that doesn’t close. Half the building had pigeons flying around inside which we seen as we pulled up. All was reported to reception and asked for a refund, which was refused. We left and booked another hotel! After 2 hours of phone calls to hotels.com they agreed to refund for our booking.

Find another booking app...

Hotels.com had accepted my payment, but not confirmed the reservation with the hotel. Only due to the resourcefullness of the hotel staff, could a solution be found. In short: The hotel is fine...Hotels.com is not!

Room was clean but paintwork and flooring need looking at. Strange selection of guests smell of cannabis coming through our first floor room and noisy guests up drinking all night next door. Fire alarm went off at 1am on the Tuesday then again at 3am on the Wednesday only to be told twice it was a false alarm. Not even an apology

Not great, very disorganised. We had a booking that should have been cancelled apparently as they had a school using the hotel. Made to pay when we arrived as they said they hadn’t had the money from OYO via Expedia… I will be looking into this when we get back. Rooms smell like old caravans, linen was clean but the toilet leaked, bear wires exposed. Generally not good impressions!!

Very poor experience

This is the worse hotel i have ever stayed at the owner was not professional and tried to rip me off for a room and had a bad attitude at the point of checking in as it was done through a third party. Will never use this hotel again and i would urge everybody to avoid like the plague.

They really need to improve and renovate the entire building. The guy at the reception was trying really hard to book another room as according to him you can’t stay in the room. You have to book another room. When we booked we specifically asked for three adults and it was stated on the booking confirmation that it’s booked for three adults but he was keep refusing to give us the room with three separate beds (he was convincing us to book another one) I would never go there again and I strongly suggest if anyone thinking to book a room there you might want to look for Airbnb or any other place. Expedia should take this place off from there listing as it’s way too dirty to stay with no lights…

Great location, decent breakfast

We stayed for two nights, the location of the hotel was very central over looking the beach. Very convenient for getting around. We left the car in the hotel car park the whole visit which was great. So the good bits of our stay, the breakfast overall was good with juice and cereal and English breakfast the kids ate free which was great. The owner was friendly and helpful. The day we arrived we were lucky to see the red arrows the hotel was perfectly situated to watch and avoid the masses. The kids adored moose the resident husky.We had a Sea view. The bad bits hotel is a little rough around the edges but clean. Our family room was small and the metal bunks incredibly noisy. Our bed wasn’t very comfortable and the pillows weren’t the best. Didn’t sleep particularly well .But if the beds were improved I think we would go back. The room served as a convenient base the explore Folkestone which was what we wanted. It could be amazing if it was updated as the location was great. And car parking a real bonus.

Stay elsewhere

To start, The front desk representative wasn’t sure we’d have a room as the hotel often double books apparently. After a lengthy checkin, we were provided a room which DID NOT match the description or pictures. He assured us, they never had a room with a double and a single. Only a twin bunkbed and a double. The beds were not comfortable, the walls were thin and noise from people deciding to talk all night could be hard. The AirCon was not operational which led to the window needing to be open. Absolutely would not recommend. The entire place was dated and not as advertised

Had a twenty plus minute check-in process, made longer by the fact the proprietor couldn’t wrap his head around three men booking a three person room with a double and single bed. He kept insisting on moving us to a larger room with three beds, despite the fact I kept insisting I was fine sharing a bed with my husband. He also had a lot of issues with both OYO and Expedia, insisted on me showing our payment, before telling us the price on Expedia was wrong (it wasn’t). The room was generally grim, and we were kept up by what sounded like a people filming a porno in a nearby room, followed by a row in the corridor between them and someone from a different room who apparently wanted to join in. In short, would not recommend.

The view was beautiful. Our room was on the top floor, the lift only fits two people without suitcases. The free WiFi doesn't reach the third floor. The free parking is poorly lit and not secure in anyway. It is also inadequate for the amount of rooms the hotel has. The receptionist told us sternly to ensure the shower door was closed properly to prevent water leaking damaging the ceilings (he showed us a damp patch to illustrate his point). The shower door was damaged and the handle was hanging off. Someone tried to enter our room at 0200 (not strictly the hotel's fault, but there are only 18 rooms in the building and only 6 on each floor. Is it that difficult to control entry?) If this were a budget hotel, a few of these would be forgiven, but this room was £110.00.

I booked this room for one of our installers and recieved a message with photos and videos attesting to the extremely poor condition of the room - cleanliness, noise and smell were all terrible and I have been forced to escalate this to a complaint and refund.
