We had to book this no-notice less than an hour before we arrived. Loved it. Delightful owner. Folkestone an easy place to base before using ferry to cross channel. Cool town and fun beach to jump in very cold water!

We disagree with previous nice rating

We did not feel welcome. Room was nice, but that is also all. We felt we were a necessary evil arriving before 3 p.m. even if the room was ready. Then we had to pay an extra 10 GBP to be allowed to use it one hour before 3 p.m. We use another hotel next time we are on business in the area. Jens Jakobsen

Night stay before le shuttle

On arrival found the place to be very welcoming. First impressions very good. At bed time found my son’s camp bed had 3 springs missing and was lop sided. Had been made up this way, was not safe to sleep. Went down to reception and rang the bell, heard ring inside the occupier who lives on sites living accommodation but no one arrived after 5 mins. So called the main phone line and the lady answered immediately, felt like we weren’t so important once checked in but she was quick to answer the phone to a new client enquiring potentially. To be fair it was sorted swiftly but it was a bit baffling someone made it up in such poor condition. We had an early start the morning after and went down to get the kids a bowl of cereal before we left for our journey to France. The lady who runs it, quickly scrambled upon the breakfast room and rudely announced we had not paid for breakfast. My bad entirely but it was not mentioned on checking in and I just assumed it was included. I quickly put her at ease and said I’d happily pay for the breakfast. On checking out I offered to pay for the two children’s cereal bowls (aged 2 & 9) expecting for it to be waived as it was so minimal but was charged £10. Such a shame because genuinely really enjoyed the facilities and would have considered staying again because we really enjoyed our trip to France. Little things like that go so far and it’s the difference between becoming a returning customer or not. Pretty disappointed.

Feels like Faulty Towers

Email information prior to stay was excellent. Mismatch between hotels.com website information and hotel interactions. We expected to ‘pay at property’. Hotel demanded payment a day ahead over phone or booking would be cancelled. Then the card payment failed as they didn’t request correct security information so our bank wouldn’t authorise. (according to my bank) This resulted in three long and tedious phone calls to resolve. Despite the issue being on their side they put pressure on us to provide other cards details so they could try them which we were uncomfortable to do. When we checked in we had to decide on breakfast choice there and then. They also needed to know the exact time we wanted breakfast and phoned us multiple times to get this. It felt like a lot of pressure. Sadly, this overshadowed our stay and the nice touches such as help yourself to cake and refrigerated water available 24 hours seemed insignificant by comparison. Not somewhere we would return to in a hurry.

Very nice little hotel with very nice and friendly staff. Close walk to the beach. A little hot in the room but to be expected in the summer. There was a fan in the room to cool it down a little. Slept very well.

Great older property with lots of charm. The gentleman working the front desk was very helpful and kind. It was a bit warm on the top level (seasonably hot weather). but otherwise it was amazing, also lots of stairs to be aware of. The location was great and easily walkable to the sea!

Newly refurbished with home made cakes and good quality breakfast. Very warm welcome and close to the seafront. Very expensive at £95 for a a tiny en-suite single bedroom, up 6 flights of steps. Plus parking is £4 a night.
