“The location is certainly a key advantage; being close to the station and right by the beach makes it ideal for exploring Folkestone, particularly with those sea views. It seems like a perfectly acceptable place to stay for a night or two, with clean bedding and freshly painted rooms offering a reasonable experience. It's a historically interesting hotel that I'd consider if looking for a blend of convenience and seaside charm.”

Really good Staff and Wonderful Seaside Location
friendly staffgreat locationexternal scaffolding
I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff . The location is really good. It is just steps away from the Leas Cliff Pavilion (a definite plus!).
There was scaffolding outside (which slightly impacted the view).
