Hotel room was excellent. On site restaurant was also excellent. Perfect location as we had a lovely walk down the zig zag path down to the beach after our meal and honestly was one of the most pleasant evenings we have spent in a uk location for a long time.

A very lovely hotel and well maintained. Accessing upper floors could be quite an issue for those who struggle with staircases as there are many. The lift is very tiny. The room was very spacious and clean. We had a very comfortable stay

Great location very close to the seafront (we could see the sea from our room) and slightly away from noisier/busier part of Folkestone. 10-min walk to train station. Comfortable bed and very good bathroom. Very good breakfast (although bread quality could be improved). Overall a great stay - would not hesitate to stay again when visiting Folkestone again.
