Hubert House, hotel in Dover

This family-run guest house has won multiple awards and is the only accommodations provider in Dover with 4 stars and the much coveted Gold Award.

Very friendly hostess. Huge and delicious breakfast. I had booked a small room, but was upgraded to a huge room. Located about midway between the train station (about a 15 min. walk) and the castle (less than 15 min. walk). Just a few minutes’ walk to the shore, with a Marks & Spencer Foodhall and lots of restaurants right nearby. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay; I would like to go back again.

An Ancient Port of Call

Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.

A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.

The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.

The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

    Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list.

    Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

    We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage). We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch. Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see. We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

    Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity. The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

    Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town. In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

    Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

    Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.

    We stayed here for one night, and had a really lovely room, and a very comfortable stay. The owner welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for reaching the cliffs and for visiting the castle of Dover. Everything spotlessly clean, nice bathroom, bed and pillows were so comfortable. Great location, friendly staff and well maintained hotel, perfect accommodation for a very good price. We'll definitely stay again when we are in the area!

    Hotel is across the street from the train station. Took the train from London St Pancreas station. After checking in, we walked into small Dover town for dinner and found a grocery store to buy wine for the cruise. Next morning we walked to cruise, port a mile in 30 minutes, but we have light luggage. Always recommend you book a hotel the night before you cruise within walking distance of port.

    This place was so much more than my wife and I could ever have imagined. We loved the location, just being down the hill from Dover castle and just a little ways from the beaches. We loved the room, it was picture perfect! Our host gave amazing recommendations and the breakfast was to die for. We will be recommending this place to everyone that we know will be in the area and we hope to be back soon.

    Everything! The room was quite comfortable and extremely clean. The guest house was very quiet. The owners were wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate us even down to driving us to our cruise ship when we couldn’t get a taxi! The breakfast was hot, delicious and plentiful! they even served seconds to my husband who was absolutely loving the food!

    Nice little Guesthouse in Dover England. The owners and their family are super nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional. They even arranged for a town car to get us to our Cruise Ship. The traditional British Breakfast was outstanding and even though it was extra it was well worth it and not that expensive.

    The guest house is located close to the Dover castle, seaside and the city centre. Our room was quite spacious, with a beamed ceiling, two beautiful windows with outside flower boxes and was furnished in the "old" style. The bed was excellent. We were warmly welcomed by the concierge John, who gave us a great introduction to the city's history.

    Staying at Les Fleurs was a pleasant experience. The host provided towels, linens, ect, and the location is extremely accessible to the town centre, the castle, shops, the cliffs and the beach. It's not a 5 star hotel with all the bells and whistles, but for a short, cheap stay, it is adequate and the bathroom/dorms do the job!

    A nice basic hotel just outside Dover, it is a perfect stop over when getting an early ferry. The staff were a bit thin on the ground so some waiting occurred but they were friendly and happy to help. The food on offer at the Bella Italia restaurant is delicious and this is based inside the resturant itself.

    We really enjoyed staying in Hubert house, even for just couple of days. The room we stayed was wonderful and the hotel itself has the great location: 10min to castle and 5 min to the center and to the Dover beach. Highly recommend to solo travellers and couples. The staff was so kind and welcoming.

    I recently stayed at this Best Western Dover Marina Hotel for Two Nights. I had a great experience. I was greeted well when checking in by receptionist Mayer and was too friendly during night, everything was clean, the hotel was quiet, etc. If I am back in the area again, I'll definitely stay here.

    Onsite parking with great location. The full breakfast was delicious! (but... see what we did not like) The property is at the base of the hill upon which Dover Castle sits. It is close enough to walk, but VERY steep, I would recommend using your car, especially as parking at the hotel is free.

    Room was simple but comfortable. We arrived late because of traffic issues so we didn't get to see much of the town around the hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking was nice since it was just in front of the hotel. Very close to Dover castle which we ended up visiting.
