voco The Clifton Folkestone by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast buffet and staff super friendly"

The View Hotel Folkestone, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Staff friendly and very accommodating, great rooms, bar and evening meal excellent. Breakfast lovely. View to thr sea is beautiful. Everything was perfect 👌 no complaints from us."

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"We like the convenience of the hotel and the beds and rooms are nicely clean and the cleaning staff very friendly and helpful. However the reception staff are not that friendly and will ignore you unless you speak directly to them. I am unused to that in a hotel reception. It would be good if they were more welcoming and proactively pleasant. And although the breakfast is included it is just cereal and breads. The full breakfast is a bit of a disappointment and I recommend going elsewhere."

Ashford International Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out a wonderful experience. Food in the restaurant was beautiful, breakfast buffet maybe could do with more choice. The spa facilities were very good, although the facial treatment I received, I thought overpriced for 20mins. Overall the cleanliness, staff, location were perfect Will definitely book again."
