As I have a mobility scooter we were relocated to a ground floor room. This, for obvious reasons, was not the executive room for which I had paid. Also, we did not get the continental breakfast for which I had paid, at £6 per person per night. So, I reckon we are due a partial refund. I have to say, however, that John was superb and a credit to the hotel. He helped me get my scooter in and out of the hotel, as all entrances had steps.

I liked the location of the hotel
The other reviews was complaining but I will say for the cost it’s reasonable, if you’re looking for just sleep, it’s suitable, clean bedding, room clean, many clean towels, coffees teas kettle, tv , hot water
Only fridge not available and the bathroom lock broken
If you stay next to a noisy family etc unfortunately it’s very loud, you can hear everything
Overall for us we were comfortable and we’re thinking to go again

Thge usual nasty little Englanders prevail in this most Brexit-voting of districts. However there are some nice harbourside pubs which were well-run and friendly (I would particularly recommend The Harbour Inn which despite it's rather busy location is an excellent pub, welcoming and well-run.
Folkestone is a town in two halves. I stayed in the harbour area when I would have enjoyed staying nearer the venue I was attending, and would have enjoyed better facilities in the mid town area, I would conclude.

Folkestone has a lot to offer especially because it's close to other places as many coastal it is suffering a bit I would also say if you don't like steps or extremely steep hills even in the town centre then it may not be for you.

Lovely central location with something for everyone.
Lovely central location with something for everyone.
Lovely walks as a whole family.
A good range of shops, restaurants, pubs and bars.
Canterbury was 20-30 minute drive away which was lovely as we went on a boat tour and saw the stunning cathedral.
We were able to get to mist places on foot and there was a lot to do.
Parks, beach, harbor arm, cinema, shops and lots of lovely sights.
We had a lovely Greek dinner on the harbor arm, however, it was quite expensive. We had a chicken gyros, a lamb one, a chicken gyros bowl, chips and some hummus with pitta and it was £60.

It wasn't my first choice (I was catching the channel ferry and I would have preferred to have been in Dover) but what a pleasant surprise. I was travelling with my dog and I was amazed at how dog friendly the town was. I particularly liked the coastal walks and I enjoyed reading the informational plaques around the town. One thing I found so touching was Remembrance Road adorned with the handmade poppies. I was struck by how much effort the council has devoted to highlighting Folkestone's attractions and making them accessible to visitors. I enjoyed just wandering around the town with my dog and appreciating it's history and sights. Folkestone turned out to be a serendipitous experience and I'm glad that I didn't stay in Dover.

Looks like it’s on the up but still undergoing re generation!
Found super Turkish restaurant The Sunshine Bistro cater for all meals , lovely internal area & outside seating ( good weather) .
Had fab breakfast and it was busy busy!!
Lovely spacious reception area and fabulous location right on the seafront and close to the harbour and creative quarter. The owner Cesar who has been running it for 51 years! is super friendly, chatty and welcoming. He let me view a couple of the rooms before booking and I feel I got a really good deal. The room and hotel itself are full of character,.I didn’t try the breakfast so can’t comment on that but my room had a balcony looking out on the beach. It was pleasantly cool in the room unlike certain other Folkestone hotels.
We have stayed at this Folkestone Holiday Inn Express several times and always receive a warm welcome when checking in. The hotel is extremely well located for the EuroTunnel. The rooms are basic, clean, comfortable and relatively spacious. Breakfast is very good - cereals, breads, yoghurts, fruit, eggs, bacon, sausages etc. and the vending machines deliver hot, fresh coffee, tea, chocolate etc. Thank you to all the staff (in all departments) who work hard to provide a good experience for guests.
Mostly 'good'.
There was dead bug on the bathroom curtain on day one. I knocked it on to the window ledge, it remained the next day, then disappeared. Other than that, things were very clearly being cleaned, so - cleanliness = 'OK'.
It cost more than I would normally have spent...but EVERY hotel has increased rates these days making value harder to rate, so - value = 'OK'.
I was there for work, I didn't go anywhere in order to rate the location, so : location = 'OK' (i.e. I saw nothing bad).
My room was clean and not too tiny. I needed an open window (hottest day of the year ? Thurs 16 June) at night and there was a strong external light, luckily not directly in to the room. Good tea / coffee facilities. Sadly booming TV next door and later snoring, so walls very thin.
Excellent full breakfast which was great value too. Pleasant, calm dining area. This was a cheap hotel - real value for money but you can't then be too picky. Staff were pleasant and very tolerant !
My stay at Sunny Lodge was perfect! Mike, the proprietor, was gracious about my late check-in and just as friendly and welcoming as the other reviews have mentioned. He assigned me a room that was spacious and spotlessly clean. The hotel was quiet and well-located within short walking distance of grocery stores and shops. Folkestone is a charming town, and if you get a chance to stay there, be sure to reserve a room at Sunny Lodge!
Absolutely perfect stay in Folkestone. Everything was perfectly appointed and thought out. Every time I thought “I wonder if they have ______” it was in the room. Beds and bedding were so comfortable, bathrooms were spotless, fridge had milk, every single thing we needed or wanted was there. Location was excellent for walking to a concert on the coast. Host was so friendly and helpful. Could not have been more perfect!
My room had a bay window, lots of light and plenty of space.
The rooms in the hotel were open and inviting too.
The owner is very organised and good at explaining the where and how of the hotel and what was nearby.
It was a short walk into town and the main shops and supermarkets yet far enough away from it to be quiet and residential
Nice food for breakfast - lots f information about ingredients and so on.
We have stayed at this hotel before and were looking forward to visiting again. We had a really lovely room with a sea view, the hotel is in a perfect location for beach, walks and shopping. All the staff are lovely and go out of their way to help.
We had breakfast in the restaurant and that was superb.
Looking forward to going back next year (or sooner if we can)!
Very prominent harbour side hotel, in an excellent location for exploring the town and local area.
Very friendly professional (busy)staff, the room was a very spacious family room. It was very clean and well presented too.
The beds and mattresses must have been new and sooo comfy, we had 2 great nights sleep.
We can't wait to go back!
Beautiful property in an idyllic setting and just two minutes from the Eurotunnel. Didn’t have time to sample breakfast at the hotel but had a great one packed for us by the owners. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and very quiet. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend a stay here.
An excellent hotel for an overnight stay enroute to an early Eurotunnel crossing. Great location with easy access to Folkestone sea front, comfortable room, spotlessly clean. A great value alternative to many that we looked at. The local Bouverie Tap pub did excellent food and drinks.
Thank you, I liked the hotel, the location eg within minutes walking distance of Folkstone Cetral train station, and the room comfort levels and private facilities; fantastic for a solo traveller, and a part time student as I had some space to read and study.
You're only meters away from the Eurotunnel and the A20, yet you'd think you were deep in the beautiful Kent countryside. And to think in the past we'd drive into Folkestone for the night before a morning crossing to France. Never again...
We had a very nice time at the hotel. Room is spacious and clean. The owner and the staff were very kind. We had nice time. Strongly recommended as a base to visit around Kent.
Lovely breakfast in the room.
The staff here were excellent. I brought my dog with me and he got so much attention! On check in he was given treats and we could even bring him with us to eat dinner. Perfect hotel for pet-parents.
The hotel was under refurbishment with scaffolding and temp work everywhere. This meant brick dust everywhere and we were woken at 8:00am by heavy banging from construction workers.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely weekend away and would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Folkestone.
