Excellent view from bedroom. Helpful staff. I thought the price for breakfast £10.50 was a bit expensive for what it was!!

good parking, spacious room, nice building, near the seafront and town centre. My room had a very nice sea view. room and bathroom quite dated, bed lumpy and uncomfortabl - did not feel refreshed in the morning. Windows let in draught. Locks on doors were Yale locks which were not particularly secure. Staff appearance was casual.

Being able to get a single room with a double bed in quiet part of the hotel , nice view and lift in budget. Not having the evening menue for the dinning room available until 15 mins.,before the resteraunt opens thats nonsense. Not having daily papers available for guests to read in the lounges whilst having coffee or tea, tatty, out of date magasins are for a doctors surgery not the lounges of hotels.

Fairly standard mid range hotel, I've stayed several times, essentially due to the location. Facilities are a bit lacking compared to more modern hotels, but acceptable for a weekend break where you're out of the hotel most of the time. Staff are friendly and helpful.

I was pleasantly surprised with the standard of the hotel. It looks a little dated from the photos but was in better condition than I had imagined. I had a lovely twin room which was spacious with a big bay window overlooking the garden. Everywhere was clean. Good position on the Leas and close to the town and beach. More pricey than I would expect to pay for a 3 star hotel in this area given that it's not a tourist destination. Would have been nice to have had breakfast included

Very clean, professional and comfortable. Good sized twin room with desk, small table and two chairs. Woke up to sea view and sunshine coming in through lovely big windows. Felt immediately at home, happy and relaxed - just what I wanted! Daughter had single room with view of gardens over back. Again, lovely. Daughter in separate room had crying baby and singing mother next door which kept her awake most of the night. We had revellers in a bar across the road keeping us awake, and gagging cigarette smoke coming into the room (first floor, number 118) - so bad my eyes were smarting. Smoke may have been from another room, but the sign on all the doors made it perfectly clear that there was a no smoking policy. I wondered whether there was an external smoking area for the hotel bar, which we were almost above, and whether it could be coming in from there to the corridor and then into my room, (certainly not coming through my window to the front and not in daughter's room further away). Obviously, these issues may just have been bad luck and not the fault of the hotel. We would definitely go there again, but perhaps try to avoid that particular room!?

“On arrival the staff were very attentive and helped with luggage upto our room and was given a key to the front door so we could come and go as we please. The superior room was a lovely aired room with four poster bed, bay window with side view of the sea, huge bathroom, clean towels and bedding and a shower with hot water enough for four people! Was very helpful with family needs such as additional bedding. Good breakfast. Location excellent for beach, shopping and restaurants now folkestone has undergone some renovation, is much improving. Service with a smile and would stay again in the future.” Michelle, Warwickshire |
