In folkestone

We arrived late. But staff was accomodating and attended. She guided to free street patking which was not far. As nearby street needed permit and were full. Shower was working , had hot water but pressure was very low . Not sure if it was deliberate or just being at 3rd floor. Breakfast was average. But staff presented servef fresh tea and coffee witj milk which was great.

The area around the hotel was good, but there was giant dog blocking the entrance with it’s owner while we were going to our room and the kids were petrified. Staff didn’t refill the shower kits for the second day. No hair dryer available. We loved the area and the view was very nice from the window.

Hotel with character

Good position as 2 mins from sea front. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and comfy bed. Also nice and quiet. Windows opened easily to get some fresh sea air. Manager helped sort out payment for parking, as online, only the hotel can do this! I would certainly stay here again. Just didn’t like the free water bottles in the rooms, there’s water available from the bedroom sink, we don’t need more plastic! Also lots of little plastic bottles for shampoo etc. It’s very kind but not sustainable, so not kind to our planet! Don’t be afraid to make a stand as a hotel. Simply put a poster up to explain. A tiny block of soap if needed at all would be better. Most hotels are trying to be more sustainable too.

Lovely family run B&B

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station

Unfortunate

There was an awful smell throughout the hotel, like drains or a portaloo. The beds in our room (6) were terribly old and uncomfortable, every time you moved the children woke up as they were so squeaky, the mattresses were discolored and stained. The bathroom was old and in great need of modernization, the shower didn't work, however the maintenance man sorted it out straight away. We were only provided with one towel each. Toiletries and chocolate was a nice touch. However we would not stay here again. Lovely view and position. Not quite sure why this hotel has 8/10 score. (this is why we booked it) Shame as it could be really nice with some updating and new beds.
