The Portland Hotel, hotel in Folkestone

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.

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.

The Southcliff Hotel, hotel in Folkestone

Overlooking the English Channel, The Southcliff Hotel is located on The Leas Promenade and only a 1-minute walk from the Leas Cliff Hall venue.

Excellent staff, clean room, comfortable, worth getting a balcony room if you're spending time in the hotel as the view from the front is lovely. Usual complimentary tea, coffee and soaps in the room. Ask at reception for more if needed. Check with hotel reception before paying for parking as they get a discount on their zone, but you need to find a space first.

    General overview of Folkestone was fantastic, local amenities, plenty of places for food and drink. Local convenience via Uber eats. Very clean, and overall looks amazing. Would highly recommend Folkestone to family and friends. However I wouldn’t recommend The Carlton Hotel. That was awful!

    Folkestone is a really beautiful place with friendly people.

    Folkestone is a really beautiful place with friendly people. The sea view can be mistaken for overseas and the grass area is lush. The choice of pebble or sand beach is a bonus and Folkestone Harbour is a lovely area to relax and enjoy the vibes. It's not to far from London and has many lovely hotels a stone throw from the beach. On each occasion I have visited, I have enjoyed immensely. The last occasion I was able to enjoy the Folkestone festival, with live, great performances held at the bandstand and a variety of stalls offering different products. There are a variety of good restaurants to chose from including the hotels. The View Hotel where we stayed provided a tasty flavoursome meal one evening. Folkestone is easy to navigate and a lovely place just to walk and explore.

    Folkstone is a very friendly place to visit, loads of places to eat and drink. The only downside was the food stall on the harbour closed too early it would have been nice if they stayed open longer.

    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.

    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.

    Great location; close to a big supermarket, lovely restaurants, the beach, some good pubs, the centre of Folkestone, the harbour and a great base from which to visit the Kent castles and the RH&DR (lovely miniature railway)The flat is freshly decorated and well furnished. The owner is super helpful and very knowledgable about the best places to eat and to visit......there are lots of both! Free off street parking in front of the flat is very convenient.

    Great location , family rooms are clean and spacious. Had to call the number on the door prior to check in where a friendly staff member came to meet us and explained about the parking and check in . Family room had all the amenities such as wifi , tea & coffee making facilities, bottled water and complimentary chocolates on the bed was a nice touch . It’s not a 5 star hotel but if you want a clean basic place whilst in the area I would recommend

    The hotel is one of the better ones in Folkestone - great location on the seafront, nice facilities, clean rooms and decent breakfast. Being able to park for £5 a day outside the hotel is great - if you can get a space. I feel this information should be clearly stated on the website and when you book. I had to send several messages and call the hotel to find out about the parking. The staff at the hotel were friendly.

    The room was a good size, the bathroom was extremely clean. All the amenities were great. Reception staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel overall was a luxurious experience and we really enjoyed our stay. The location is *perfect*. Within perfect distance of the town, Sandgate beach and a bus that too us to East Warren Cliffs, which we loved.

    This is the 3rd time I've stayed in this accommodation in less than a year because I love being in Folkestone and I love this little place. The location is perfect for getting around to other places in Kent, the facilities are like home from home and the rooms are clean and extremely comfortable.

    Perfectly located outside Folkestone in a very scenic part of Kent. We was greeted and seen off by the chap (cant remember his name) who I think owns the facility. Lovely rooms, very clean and warm. The bonus of brekkie in bed was the cherry on a big cake! T

    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.
