This property was wonderful. We arrived later in the evening and the chef kept the kitchen open for us. The staff could see we were exhausted and brought our dinner directly to our room despite not offering in-room dining. Wonderful stay!

Recommended and close to shops and sightseeing.
Despite reading a few negative reviews and thinking of budget this hotel delivers. Great reception area and the property especially, has spaciousness on it's side. Great for limited mobility it was right next to the harbour/arm. Staff helpful, quick, inviting and friendly. Room did need a minor uplift but looked like some of this had been actioned. Highly recommended and fantastically reasonably priced for people on a budget.

Glory days
The hotel is a a reminder of it's hayday. I can't complain about the home (guests that wat up at 6am to watch soaps is a different story) but if you want Hilton quality, stay at the Hilton, if you want a bed for the night with dated decor.... Perhaps a little unfair, to referb this massive hotel it would have to be done floor by floor, but by the time they have done, the previous floors would be outdated. It's an odd one, I believe if you had each floor as a theme floor they would have more success but it does feel like the hotel is catered for the 1/2 pint shandy coach tours but has potential to be boutique and budget.

Low quality venue and rooms, but the aarea around the hotel were awesome. Not many options to stay around the area, but recommend visiting just for Folkstone Harbour experience.

Was one of the cheaper places in Folkestone. Great convenient location near the harbour and a short uphill walk to the Town. Suitable for the purpose of getting your head down for a few hours, bathroom and room clean. Breakfast wasnt anything to shout about, but stopped a gap. Place just feels a bit dated, even saw the Congo go through the bar one night... Sort of reminds me of a caravan park.. No complaints about the place.. just wasn't that appealing for me.

Good enough.
Probably gets a bad rap but I found it fine given the price and for how long I was there. Room seemed clean, view was awesome. Reception was efficient. Massive hotel probably seen it’s best days but I’d go back.

Lack of control of noise outside hotel lobby.
Very happy with our stay but the noise from other guests at the hotel shouting outside the lobby doors that went on until 3am kept us awake so that by morning we were exhausted from lack of sleep. Surely something can be done to stop this. It spoilt our stay.

The room was ok. However the drunk person kicking and banging on a door to another room and screaming was not desirable. It took the staff a very long time to deal with the problem. Ruined a lot of peoples sleep

The hotel is dated and needs lots of improvement We’ve been a few times and decided to upgrade to premier double room hoping there was nicer modern rooms but the room was worst then some we’ve had The balcony was held up by scaffolding all rusty and not looking safe and concrete base full of bird poo. The furniture and decoration is poor standard and dated. The room looks like it needs a proper clean and painting Been to lot better accommodation and not paid these prices To top it off the car park was rammed and no where to park even though they charge u £5 a day when u check in Will not be returning to this hotel again even though in a good central location

Needs an update very unclear in places and the place looks more like a prison with locked doors into each wing it could be renamed? Very poor for the 20 th century
