    premium king room
    breathtaking sea view
    spacious accommodations
    ineffective air conditioning
    minor discomfort

    my stay at the hotel was really pleasant. the previous time i visited folkestone, i didn't enjoy the accommodations nearly as much. this time, the premium king room was spacious and the sea view was breathtaking, exceeding my expectations during this family holiday.

    air conditioning was ineffective at times.

    stunning sea view
    spacious room
    lovely decor
    ineffective air conditioning
    slow elevator

    The Premium King Room was spacious and had a stunning sea view, which was a real highlight. It felt bright and comfortable, perfect for relaxing. The decor was lovely, and there was plenty of room to move around. The only downside was that the air conditioning was a bit hit or miss at times. the elevator was a little slow, but it didn't impact my overall experience.

    antiquated lift

    I had a lovely stay at the hotel with beautifully maintained public areas and a delightful breakfast spread. the lift felt quite old, causing a bit of frustration. I appreciated the warm staff and elegant room ambience.

    amazing sea view
    delicious steak dinner
    lovely cream tea
    low shower pressure

    I recently stayed for 2 nights and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing sea view and the delicious steak dinner I had at the restaurant. The experience was enhanced by a lovely cream tea on arrival. Although the shower pressure was low, I really enjoyed my stay overall and would choose this place again!

    cosy room
    sea view
    parking situation

    Had a lovely stay in a cozy double room with an amazing sea view, and enjoyed relaxing on the sun terrace while grabbing a drink from the bar. The breakfast was solid, with fresh fruit and a decent cooked spread, which started my day right. The only hiccup was the parking situation, but I managed to find a spot nearby, so it wasn’t a big deal! 😊

    lovely atmosphere
    great shower facilities
    inconsistent wi-fi
    absence of air conditioning
    shabby staircase

    The Deluxe Single Room offered a lovely atmosphere with great shower facilities, and the overall cleanliness was commendable. Breakfast featured delightful food, complemented by friendly and attentive staff. Wi-Fi was inconsistent, and the absence of air conditioning made warmer temperatures a bit uncomfortable. the initial impression upon entering the hotel was marred by a shabby staircase.

    inconvenient parking

    Loved the sea view!

    We spent one night in a cozy double room with a stunning sea view. The staff were super friendly, especially the bar manager who whipped up a late-night meal for us. Breakfast was tasty, but parking is a pain with those traffic wardens always checking. a good stay with really helpful staff!

    Perfectly charming stay!

    Had a lovely night at this charming place. The room was cozy and clean, great for crashing after a busy day. Really enjoyed the breakfast options, loads to choose from. Downside? The bar across the street was pretty loud at night, but that's city life, I guess.

    great location
    helpful staff
    tasty breakfast
    steep step

    Just had a great time with friends at this hotel! We loved taking a stroll along the beautiful promenade out at sea and visiting the restored harbour arm. The staff were super helpful. The breakfast was tasty. The location is perfect for easy access to the beach and town center. Pro tip, parking is a steal at £5 a day!

    I have to mention that the bathroom had a steep step going down to it, and I ended up falling twice! It was a bit surprising, even with all the warning signs.
