The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is dated but comfortable,clean and great value for money. It is situated right in the hub of the harbour and close to the old town and shops. We've stayed here a couple of times and will definitely be coming,back. Theres great entertainment daily and a real feel of that holiday feeling .

The Staff is great! Su was amazing! They have great happy hour! :-) I completely recommend it, the rooms with balcony have an amazing view!! The only thing I will recommend to the hotel is to care bit more of the cleanness. The cleaning lady's are great people but they need to do the cleaning bit better. If gets better cleaning I will give an extra star.

The room was far from clean. The bath has what looked like pubic hair all around the edges and that was the same for the other room in our party. There was also stuff that hadn't been hoovered up around bed legs, dunno what that was. Wasn't expecting luxury for the price but was expecting it to be clean

I have stayed in worse but not worse. Decor is dated and clearly in need of a complete refurbishment, I suspect because of the class of the majority of the clientele this will not happen. My parents used to come here 40 years ago for booze cruise weekends and I doubt whether anything has changed in that time.

316 on 25/10/2025. Firstly, we discovered bed bugs in our room, and my partner woke up with multiple bites on her body. This is completely unacceptable and has caused us significant distress. I have several clear photos of the bed bugs as evidence for your reference should you need them. You will also see a bed bug on the Luroking under the bed. Given the severity of this issue, I strongly recommend that the hotel engage a professional pest control contractor such as Ecolab to carry out a full heat treatment of the affected room and to take it off sale until the problem has been fully resolved to avoid further incidents for future guests. Additionally, we noticed a white powdery substance under the bed, which could potentially be a drug residue. A photo of this has also been captured and can be provided if needed. This raises serious health and safety concerns that I trust the hotel will investigate immediately. There were also several maintenance issues in the room, including a very loose toilet roll holder and extremely poor water pressure in the shower, both of which detracted from what should have been a comfortable stay (also have photo + video).

Friendly staff, good value, especially the buffet breakfast and evening meal. Great location. The rooms and especially the corridors could do with updating as it's outdated and has a rather dissappointing feel to it. Wouldn't take too much investment to transform the look and feel. Folkestone is now quite arty, with lots of independent shops.

A bit of a "Ryan Air" hotel: Parking - an extra £5 / day Swimming Poll - an extra £4/day Bathroom smelt badly of mould - despite obvious recent refurbishment Was upgraded to a sea-view double room which was nice! Bed comfortable Shower OK - though not thermostatic and over a high bath with a simple curtain Breakfast OK but unimaginative in choices (no decaf coffee and tiny selection of cereals) Room and corridors generally quite tatty

Hotel is a bit old but overall clean. The only thing I had a problem with, my kettle was full of loose lime and it was crusted with lime too and I couldn’t make myself a cup of tea, it was so much. I would suggest to clean it with vinegar once in a while.
