Never again

When I arrived the reception staff was rude, couldn’t answer my questions. Wasn’t given any informations about the breakfast or anything else taking place in or on the weekend. Kids running everywhere, lots of people complaining. Booked the hotel as I had a wedding to attend just down the road. No phone in the room to contact receptionist if there was an emergency. Dirty bed sheets and towels! Good job I packed my own! Bathroom was horrible. Iron all burnt out on metal plate.

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.

A wonderful view from a nice room made our trip memorable. Easy access and parking. We were caught out arriving late on a Sunday trying to find toiletries as none were provided at all. The location and ease of access made up for this though.

Avoid the breakfast

Room view over the harbour was lovely, room was clean but in bad need of a lick of paint. Fridge precariously balanced on a shelf, fell off when we opened it. Breakfast was terrible and i would advise anyone staying to dine out rather than in.

One night stay

Room was spacious, the only plug sockets were for the kettle and tv, and no others. Bedside lights were rather high and difficult to switch on and off whilst in bed.

Always wonderful; i am a regular

The room quality was good and the overall atmosphere and activity: no specific big event but a wednesday evening musician (guitarist and singer of 60/70s music} in the ballroom; one of my motivations to go to GB. Also its location so near the the lovely Harbour, the Old High St and the cliff walk toward Dover. Breakfast buffet good too.

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.

All I wanted was a comfortable bed and a shower...

All I wanted was a comfortable bed and a shower. Me and 2 old uni friends where on a long weekend cycling along the south coast and we stopped here for an overnight to get some rest before heading on. My bed was worn out and not only could you feel every one of the old springs, they 'clanged' when you moved. The shower was either cold or had so low water pressure that the divert valve for the bath wouldn't send water to the shower head. When we arrived, one of the lifts didn't work. By the morning, all of them had failed and none of the buttons worked on our floor. Someone from reception had to manually override the lifts to get us. Oh, and one of the panels had fallen through. On top of that, it seems like a lot of people use it as a base for parties so I was woken up many times with revellers in the corridor. Yes it cheap. No I would never stay there again. At best it's worn out and at worse it's a death trap.
