Opposite the Leas Cliff Hall, beside the sea and Folkestone town center, The Portland Hotel has a popular bar and restaurant and free Wi-Fi access. It is close to Eurotunnel and the Dover Ferry Terminal. The Skuba Bar, with its sun terrace and garden overlooking the sea, is perfect for socializing or a quiet drink, while savoring the sea views. Breakfast is continental-style with a wide variety of cereals, cheeses, yogurts, croissants and fruit. Being a smaller hotel, there is no dedicated reception. Guests are asked to check-in at the bar, where staff will guide you to your room, taking note of any special requirements. Please note that children and pets are not usually accepted. There is no elevator at The Portland Hotel and all rooms are nonsmoking.
