Friendly staff, good value, especially the buffet breakfast and evening meal. Great location. The rooms and especially the corridors could do with updating as it's outdated and has a rather dissappointing feel to it. Wouldn't take too much investment to transform the look and feel. Folkestone is now quite arty, with lots of independent shops.

The hotel is in need of a complete renovation. The hallways are gloomy and have a prison feel. The wood chip needs to go, carpets replacing and the furniture updating. We were in a family room and transitted through many fire doors to get to our room. The room was large and sufficient, but only had 1 towel bundle for a single person.the water pressure is also woeful! On a plus note it was cheap and the breakfast good. The staff were polite and parking only £5

We had an enjoyable two night stay. Our room was perfect, clean lovely Seaview oh but the windows actually needed a jolly good clean and the hotel is in a really good position just to go walking to the shops and to the Lower Leas which was absolutely stunning as was the Upper Leas, so yes it was all good! 😁

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Only there 2 nights so adequate for what we wanted. We had a balcony which had a nice view as hotel was on the sea front. The bath needs changing as very stained. Fortunately we only shower and used the mat to cover it otherwise may well have asked for a room change. Staff friendly and evening entertainment good. Free parking

Okay and value for what you pay

Room and hotel were tired, but this was reflected in what we paid for it. Perfect for an overnight stay before picking up the Shuttle which is 15 mins away. Plentiful buffet breakfast for an additional £12 pp (but only £10.50 if we’d paid there), however it was swimming in grease and we’d recommend giving it a miss and picking up something at the terminal.
