The hotel is obviously old but beautiful - in a great position. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We thought it was good value for money, and we would stay here again.

Lovely old building facing the sea, very quiet inside & outside, just 16 mins walk to town
Gail, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok for what we needed, 12 blokes on a golfing trip don't have sophisticated tastes. My biggest complaint was parking, on the first night we couldn't find anywhere to legally park within half a mile, but after about 7pm, we moved our cars right outside the hotel for free parking till 8.00 the next morning
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overnight stay only. Extremely dated and room and bathroom needed major update. Bed however was comfortable
Christopher, 1-night trip

Hotel room was clean, tidy and fresh looking. Rest of hotel looking its age and out dated. Took over half hour to locat a free parking spot in surrounding street

Lady very helpful, pity the property is somewhat needing attention. Considering a lot of homeless people are currently living there which is great for them and the property but is not necessarily conducive for travellers.

I been there two times now and didn’t get any problem and they even allowed dogs which is a bonus yes I recommend it’s really nice 5 stars
Nigel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Don’t let your initial vision put you off, the hotel looks very run down but is very clean and comfortable. We had a sea view which was nice however it also means you have the hotel front lighting shining through the curtains which isn’t ideal. We would stay again with more limited expectations.

Lovely

A tired looking hotel but spotlessly clean and lots of painting going on. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the staff were friendly and efficient. We had a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate in going back

Customer service great but no basic hot water

Unfortunately we have experienced a cold water so then the day after hot water so we could not have a shower at all.

Good, basic hotel for an overnight stop

Good, basic hotel. Excellent location on the cliffs close to the centre of Folkestone, but looking a bit run down internally. There is some on-street parking (paid) or a car park near by and on street parking is free overnight. There was building works going on when we stayed, with scaffolding over the building and blue protective film over the bedroom window which didn't do much for the view (over a car park).
