"The room was lovely and clean, with good air con! Staff were mostly excellent, just the staff member at the desk on our last day was quite distracted and not as friendly when we were collecting our bags. Excellent choice for a staycation, with lots to see within walking distance."

"Great location, excellent staff, and very clean throughout. I also appreciated the secure luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, which allowed us to make the most of our time in Folkestone. The only minor downside was the lack of a fridge in the Room Cosy Small, although larger rooms may have one and air conditioning would have been a welcome bonus, but it didn't affect our stay and everything was fine. Overall, the stay exceeded my expectations and I would happily return."
