We booked and paid for a superior room with a balcony we checked the photos on the booking site and the pokey room we were given was nothing like room we got, we asked the girl on the desk and she lied to us not happy. Staff in the bar were not welcoming and a manager spoke down to a waiter in front of customers not very professional. I have sent an email to the hotel and have not received a reply, I feel like it’s we have your money so bad luck Would not stay there again

This is a lovely OLD hotel. Keep in mind it is old, rooms are small, walls are thin & the elevator holds 2 people and their suitcases … it’s small and there is only 1. That said it is very charming. Breakfast was good and its location to the port was great.

It is a real pity that such a beautiful building could be in such poor condition and that it should be so poorly staffed. When we checked in, there was a strong, revolting odor coming from the stairwell; really, it smelled like a cat had been dead there for some time. Took our breath away. We had to request another bedroom because the odor had penetrated there as well. It was completely obvious that the hotel was understaffed. Service in the restaurant and at breakfast was terrible simply because so few people were working. Is this a management problem?

Decent overnight stay before cruise. Hotel is trying hard to bring it back to its once legacy status. A few mishaps but overall I would recommend especially for a night or two. Dover as a town is dying on the vine. Many locals said it has changed and being taken down very by others. Go see the Castle. Not much else to do unless you like shopping at secondhand stores.

The only compliant I had was I payed for a late checkout & and housekeeping, kept on knocking on the door for me to leave the room after I paid for an extra 2 hour check out. The front staff needs to communicate better with housekeeping for future guests who want to extend the extra 2 hours of late check out.

The rooms were nice and spacious and clean. Beds comfortable. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Spa area was very small, jacuzzi very busy and as it was small we had to wait around for a while before we could find space to get in. Location is perfect, close to public transport, town centee with lots of restaurants. Beach is across the road. Town centre is dilapidated and feels unsafe. We encountered alot of drunk people during midday and one night during a stroll on the beach at 9pm, we were chased off by a drunk man swearing and shouting towards us! Felt very intimidated and unsafe.

Our room flooded and our luggage and clothes got wet and no power so very hard getting packed and about 21:00 we got another room, so without any help we had pack up and move. As of right now can’t even get a breakfast or any compensation for the inconvenience. Talking to one of the staff said that every time it rains only one or two rooms flooded but this time it was a lot worse, you would think if they new about this they would’ve fixed the roof!! Just a great start to our holiday!!!
