The hotel was well positioned in Folkestone. Although comfortable, it was a bit dated and in need of a refurb to give it that looked after feeling. Great size and space.

We paid 49 quid for a double room where the bed was comfy and the place was clean. Basic and a bit tired but can't complain for the price. Convenient for the euro tunnel (10 mins) and coming the night belt meant we didn't have to get up at 2am. The harbour is delightful and a couple of mins walk away as it's the creative quarter. Good for a stroll. Lovely pubs nearby. Would stay here again.

Nice room, great view.

Room was spacious, with a balcony, lovely sea view. Good place to stay for a night. There only appeared to be one lift working, which meant quite a wait especially has most people had luggage.

Was dissatisfied that you no longer accepted cash I’m 68 and don’t use a card I had to use my savings card surely it should be optional 😩😩 therefore it restricted 🚫 what I could buy 😳😳 when we arrived we were given a room number 0140 and in the bathroom there was puddles and mould on the floor I went downstairs and explained to David who PROMPTLY found us another room 259 it was spotlessly clean with comfortable beds I didn’t want to use my card so I was restricted we were made very welcome the breakfast was hot and tasty the Sunday lunch was beef or gammon thats day I had the beef it was so so tasty and the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the staff were polite and we enjoyed our stay there was lots to do around the area and the Harbour Arm was brilliant and the local pubs were very welcoming and not overpriced 😁😁😁 and ACCEPTED CASH
