Nice location and ok facilities. Comfortable bed but curtains were too small to fully close and also were paper thin so kept no light out. Fine for a night stay

Room was large and clean Although we nor the hotel manager could get our radiator to work, they cheerfully brought up an electric blow heater and a bottle of wine, glasses and ice bucket to help soothe our cold brows. We ordered a takeaway away to be delivered as although the hotel has a bar it does not offer bar food or have a restaurant. We ordered a greek food delivery

It's an old building and a bit shabby in places but kept clean and tidy. The staff were all very polite and helpful, they left us to enjoy ourselves but were readily available if we needed anything

Great location, 10 mins walk from the harbour arm. Lovely rooms, we chose a sea view and the sound of the waves crashing in the morning was so relaxing. Great service, particular thanks to Cheryl on the front desk. All staff attentive and helpful. Really well cooked breakfast with lots of traditional cooked breakfast choices.

Had a room with balcony overlooking the sea. The room was a good size and clean. The bed was comfortable and clean. The balcony had a couple of chairs to sit out on, which was nice. One thing was the balcony doors closed and locked but could still be pushed / pulled open so wasnt secure. On departure i asked about a path down to the sea, but the reception said she didnt know the area so couldn't help, which was a shame.

The balcony overlooking the sea was beautiful, it was so nice ti sit there in the evening and first thing in the morning. All the staff we met were absolutely lovely. Check in was quick and easy. Hotel is a bit dated. The ladies toilets by the bar were blocked but the gentleman working reception guarded the toilet door for the men's whilst my friend used it so she felt safe. The bed was really comfortable. I should have asked for an extra pillow as one wasnt enough for me, but this didnt spoil the stay. The room was a great size. Free toiletries smelt really nice. Close to town and the station. I would stay here again

I needed a cheap hotel close to the Dover Ferry, and this was both close and cheap. Somewhat shabby on the inside, but again, typically what you can expect on a low budget stay at a 2 star rated hotel. Room was ok, bathroom very rudimentary, the 1st floor hallway smelled booze/drunkenness. The receptionist was very kind and serviceminded. Location was very nice. All in all, I got what I paid for and can't complain on other than the smell in the hallway outside my room. Would stay there again if traveling cross the channel.

The hotel is directly off the beach which makes it a prime location. However, the hotel is old and has no air conditioning. In addition, you need to ask for a fan and hair dryer at the front desk. This is not a modern hotel, so if that is what you are looking for, this is not the place. There is no free parking included with the hotel. You can find street parking and walk to the hotel. The views from the room were beautiful!

We stayed for 2 nights after Christmas. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable. It was lovely and quiet. There is no car park but the very kind staff let us use the staff parking at the back.
