The room was far from clean. The bath has what looked like pubic hair all around the edges and that was the same for the other room in our party. There was also stuff that hadn't been hoovered up around bed legs, dunno what that was. Wasn't expecting luxury for the price but was expecting it to be clean

I have stayed in worse but not worse. Decor is dated and clearly in need of a complete refurbishment, I suspect because of the class of the majority of the clientele this will not happen. My parents used to come here 40 years ago for booze cruise weekends and I doubt whether anything has changed in that time.

316 on 25/10/2025. Firstly, we discovered bed bugs in our room, and my partner woke up with multiple bites on her body. This is completely unacceptable and has caused us significant distress. I have several clear photos of the bed bugs as evidence for your reference should you need them. You will also see a bed bug on the Luroking under the bed. Given the severity of this issue, I strongly recommend that the hotel engage a professional pest control contractor such as Ecolab to carry out a full heat treatment of the affected room and to take it off sale until the problem has been fully resolved to avoid further incidents for future guests. Additionally, we noticed a white powdery substance under the bed, which could potentially be a drug residue. A photo of this has also been captured and can be provided if needed. This raises serious health and safety concerns that I trust the hotel will investigate immediately. There were also several maintenance issues in the room, including a very loose toilet roll holder and extremely poor water pressure in the shower, both of which detracted from what should have been a comfortable stay (also have photo + video).

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 The rooms and especially the corridors could do with updating as it's outdated and has a rather dissappointing feel to it.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.

A bit of a "Ryan Air" hotel: Parking - an extra £5 / day Swimming Poll - an extra £4/day Bathroom smelt badly of mould - despite obvious recent refurbishment Was upgraded to a sea-view double room which was nice! Bed comfortable Shower OK - though not thermostatic and over a high bath with a simple curtain Breakfast OK but unimaginative in choices (no decaf coffee and tiny selection of cereals) Room and corridors generally quite tatty

Hotel is a bit old but overall clean. The only thing I had a problem with, my kettle was full of loose lime and it was crusted with lime too and I couldn’t make myself a cup of tea, it was so much. I would suggest to clean it with vinegar once in a while.

The moment I entered the lift I began to wonder if I had booked the right place. It looked tired! When I landed on the 3rd floor the corridors were not inviting, surely they had seen better days. The carpets, doors and everything was anything but contemporary. Some old fashioned can be nice but not this one! It was clear this hotel has lacked investment or any effort to modernise the place. I arrived in my room to realise the place he not been cleaned after the previous user. That heightened my disappointment. The place was simply not nice….. many guests were there with their dogs/ pets and with the poor cleaning regime I would not feel comfortable using rooms that have had pets. I would not revisit.
