The staff was very helpful, they helped us make it even though our ferry had a terrible delay

Loïc France

Loved the ease of check-in and the comfortable beds.

Jorgensen United States of America

Ideal location right next to the railway station which made for a great base whilst attending The Open Golf at nearby Sandwich. Excellent selection of teas and coffees. The check in method was well explained and communication from owner (Lloyd) was good.

Warren United Kingdom

Very convenient location close to the train station.The bed was super comfy,had everything I needed. Had a nice stay, very quiet area and friendly staff.

Rebeka United Kingdom

Great location, gorgeous building, and the room was very charming. Owner was very nice and really helpful as well! Fantastic location and an amazing deal!

Lauren United Kingdom

Great location, great price, rooms were small but had all that one would need in them. Bed was nice and soft, kettle in the room, check in and check out was easy (check out just required dropping a key off in a box, which I really liked - I was in a rush and was able to leave quickly before I almost missed my train, the station for which was conveniently a minute walk away). One of the staff gave me some nice info about Dover while checking in (helpfully using a map as reference). I thought that was nice. Overall a great place.

Melih United States of America

Loved the whole Dover experience! We really enjoyed the ambience and small intimate feeling of the inn. The location was great and we had a warm reception! We were close to town and parking was easy on the street😊

Ann United States of America

Check in was until 22:30 but i arrived after that time. Hotel manager was really helpful as authorized my colleague to pick keys for me. Recommend this hotel as everything was up to standards .

Anonymous Portugal

I have stayed here a few times. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is good (right next to the station and close to town) and they answer any messages quickly. It feels very homely and there are shared kitchen facilities if you need them. Nothing not to like!

Sophie United Kingdom

Big single room. Had a fridge in room and a communal kitchen and laundry area. Right opposite train station.
