Great location lovely staff clean and welcoming. The only downside it has the creakiest beds imaginable, bring some tools and WD-40.very little sleep achieved
I would stay at this property again. It was very comfortable and clean. We were able to walk to a very nice restaurant and a beautiful park. The staff were very friendly and check in was easy.
We needed a place to stay for the whole family and had a room with 5 beds facing the sea. Check in worked fine, staff were very friendly and helpful. Pubs and shops in walking distance, will stay again if passing through again.
Great place for our stay. They even left our breakfast outside our door as we were leaving early for our channel crossing. Thank you much apreciated.

We only needed somewhere for one night on our journey to France and it was fine for what we needed. We got a nice family room which was very clean. It also wecomed dogs which we needed.
Basic breakfast and a little run down in parts but good location.

had an enjoyful stay with gorgeous view on the sea and leas! super located for visit to the center (15 min on foot along the sea) or Le Shuttle terminal (15 min by car).
we'll use it again!
It was a great stop off with a room for 5 of us which i found difficult to find elsewhere. Room was very clean and well presented. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakgast is continental with lots of options. There was something we all liked. Great walking spot particularly as we had our 2 dogs this was a particularly good feature.

One of the best things about Folkestone is how peaceful the seafront is, because there are no cars racing along it. The Westward Ho is in a dream position, with stunning sea views, calm and quiet surroundings, and gorgeous walks along the undercliff into central Folkestone and the harbour. Our room was good, though the shower and the sashcord windows were a bit ropey and needed a bit of attention.
