This was a nice hotel for us to meet up with family in town and not have to drive home. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, and had everything you needed. The view of the sea was a lovely way to wake up. I'm certain when all the refurbishment is complete and the dining options come back, that this is a hotel we will use again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in building site, everywhere was dusty, inadequate shower, hallway sometimes no electricity due to building work. Marketing trick is photo of hotel and condition of hotel completely different, advert shows hotel but reality is building site. Also there is no parking space for the hotel.

Good, basic hotel for an overnight stop
Good, basic hotel. Excellent location on the cliffs close to the centre of Folkestone, but looking a bit run down internally. There is some on-street parking (paid) or a car park near by and on street parking is free overnight. There was building works going on when we stayed, with scaffolding over the building and blue protective film over the bedroom window which didn't do much for the view (over a car park).

Really dated property. Not 3 stars definitely no more than 2. The only real positives were the staff were friendly and helpful and it was centrally located. Would not choose to stay here again under any circumstances.

Under huge renovations and highly overpriced, no room service or mini fridge and bar closes at 11 because”I need to go home”??!! However it was a stones throw from the Leas venue and literally just a bed to sleep on, if it had a bath and more comfortable beds it would have been ok .. not going back

The property has all the charm of a facility of its age and location. The staff was amazingly helpful and kind. Understandably, they abide quite strictly to their check in times, but I appreciate that they were willing to store my bags until check in time so that I could explore the charming area on the seafront and adjacent high street area. The building is undergoing some extensive renovations, but none of that detracted from nor disrupted my experience.

79’ Chic
I had read the reviews and think many were unfair. I have paid significant sums to stay in hotels in Brighton trying to create that 70’s vibe. This hotel achieved that at a fraction of the price. From the Lino in the bathroom to the 70’s curtains I could have imagined my parents staying there. Those who say it should be bulldozed miss the charm of the scaffolding and builders walking past while you showered

The property needs to bulldozed and something else built. Black mold everywhere, windows would only open about inch. Like a sauna, had to buy a fan. Staff (people at the desk) were excellent. Would never recommend Again staff were great the two we met.

The hotel furniture is old but functional. The bathroom was basically clean (slight smell of strong bleach) and as with the rest of the hotel, could do with renovation. Bedding/towels etc. were all fresh and clean and in good condition. Car parking was either in the public car park around the corner or if lucky on road parking opposite the hotel. Either way, overnight free parking with charges starting at 08:00,so no sleeping longer. All in all, the price was about right and for me personally staying just one night, I would stay there again.
