Clare House  

The owner was very welcoming. The breakfast was quite good.

The room was quite old and tired looking. The bathroom had no vent to remove steam, consequently the tile grouting was black. After stays in many other hotels, we expect a much better standard of decor for the price we paid.

The manager was very friendly and was able to give us a lovely breakfast before we had to go to the ferry. He also offered to make some sandwiches instead of breakfast.

We needed a meal when we arrived and the hotel was quite a way from the town centre and although the hotel was fine, the surrounding area was a bit threatening.

The room is very nice and clean, and the bathroom too. the fare is very good.

The hotel is not in a central position, the parking is very small and the breakfast is not so good. There are only pale curtains and light disturbs early your sleeping

We chose to stay at Clare House because it had parking and was conveniently placed near Dover Castle which we intended to visit. Although as British travellers we found the accommodation and breakfast okay we were slightly embarrassed by the continental breakfast which was served to some German guests whilst we were there. Although, for us this was not an unpleasant experience I think if our host had paid a little bit more attention to detail it would have made a huge difference. For example, better quality bread, fresh flowers on the breakfast table and proper salt and pepper cellers. None of these cost a lot of money, and at 60.00 a night - surely not too extravagent either

Excelent breakfast.

Virtually no reception on the TV (indoor Aerial).

Leaving

Surly reception from owner : lack of flexibility of breakfast hours : no headroom in bathroom : general feeling of "what do you expect from a cheap hotel?"

The staff were very friendly. They couldn't do enough for us. We were offered a packed lunch in place of breakfast as soon as they realised we were an early check out. Clare House was perfectly situated for the ferry to Calais. Would definately stay there again.

The only problem was the pillows. There were too many crammed into each pillow case making it feel like a brick. The bed was comfy but I think new pillows would have made it perfect.

Very friendly staff

very pleasant and helpful owners

The guy that owed the hotel was very friendly and helpful.the room was clean if l was staying in Dover again would be very happy to stay there again

Very conveniently located, walking distance from railway station and £6-£8 taxi ride to ferry terminal. Owner very friendly, offered us a drink on arrival. Cheaper than a lot of the bigger hotels and a good breakfast included.

Rooms vary in size and shape, 4 poster room was nice.

This is a pleasant converted Victorian house, easy walking to the town and 5 mins by car to the ferry. Stayed one night and was a good start to the holiday. A comfortable,quiet room,and excellent breakfast.

No problems!!
