    hotel proximity
    poor lighting
    dirty outdoor

    Proximity to Eurotunnel, bar area with alcohol service, basic Wi-Fi access

    Lighting in communal areas needs improvement!!! The outdoor spaces around the hotel are dirty and unwelcoming!!! The lack of lift makes accessing upper floors inconvenient for elderly or disabled guests!!!

    Would definitely recommend for a walk in evening

    Comfortable beds, convenient location, with free parking made our stay enjoyable and hassle-free as we were able to explore nearby attractions effortlessly while enjoying the hot shower after a long day.

    A request for a pillow upgrade may lead to more comfort during your stay than you expect. Consider bringing your own from home.

    Fantastic stay with a view!

    Had a lovely 2-night stay as a couple! The staff were super welcoming and even upgraded us to a sea view room for free, which was a sweet surprise. The bed was super comfy, and the room was nice and tidy. Loved chilling at the bar/lounge area in the evenings. Only bummer was the noise from outside at times.

    Couldn't recommend more for a weekend break

    Cozy room, friendly atmosphere, with a flat-screen TV making unwinding after a day of exploration pleasant, and the convenient access to the beach just a short stroll away enhances the overall experience.

    There was no hot water during my stay.

    lack of kettle

    Had a lovely time in my single room with a stunning sea view that made waking up a treat. The cozy lounge and the sunny terrace were perfect for relaxation after a day exploring. Just wish the room had a kettle for that morning coffee! ☕

    sea view
    prime location
    smelly room
    poor maintenance

    Location right near the sea front provides easy access to the beach and nearby attractions, making it a prime spot for adventure seekers. Rooms offer some minor sea views and comfortable bedding for a decent night’s rest despite the age of the decor.

    Rooms often suffer from a musty smell, suggesting inadequate ventilation. Cleanliness is a common issue, with unswept carpets and bathroom fixtures in need of more thorough maintenance. Expect poor water pressure during showers, and let's not forget about the tinned fruit and limited breakfast that falls short of continental expectations. Windows struggle to open properly, possibly leaving you toasty on cool nights. This place feels like it's caught in a time warp and needs a serious upgrade to meet even basic standards.

    Bright, Breezy, Blissful

    I basked in the bright sea view right from my room, making every sunrise a picture-perfect moment. The spacious, newly refurbished accommodations were not just modern but also super comfy. Breakfast was a treat, offering everything needed to start the day right!

    Totally recommend! 🌊❤️

    shower issues
    dated decor

    the staff was great, especially the guy at check in, super helpful and professional. the hotel has a really good location with nice sea views and easy access to town. my room had a lovely view of the sea which was a nice surprise! the bed was comfy enough for a good night's sleep. breakfast was decent too!

    the shower had some issues and needed fixing, which was kinda annoying. also, the decor in the room looked a bit old and needed some upgrades.

    I truly appreciated the lovely sea view from my room, which brought me peace and joy each morning. The hotel's location near the high street was also convenient for exploring delightful shops and cafes within walking distance.

    A few more accessible seating options would be great.

    It was just a nice choice for a weekend getaway in Folkestone with best value. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, even when they seemed busy. Bring your own cleaning supplies if you're particular about hygiene.
