“The Portland Hotel has a come-as-you-are, pet-friendly vibe going for it, steps from Folkestone Beach and with a lively bar scene that sometimes takes center stage. I found its location ideal for Channel crossings, plus, there's something appealing about the building's historic roots mixed with modern touches, even if some areas show their age. I'd say this hotel is a solid choice if you're seeking convenience and don't mind a bit of late-night buzz.”
