    The location is spot on for enjoying the harbour views and the live music downstairs on weekends adds a lovely touch. The room was super clean, with a cozy vibe. Plus, the view from our Twin Room.

    noise issues

    The room offered a lovely view and was immaculate, with great access to the harbour. Live music added charm, but it could get noisy when busy. The location suited my visit perfectly, although the bathroom was on the smaller side. A pleasant experience with friendly staff.

    easy strolls to coastal parks and iconic landmarks

    I loved how close I was to the sandy beach, just a five-minute walk away, and I enjoyed my leisurely walks to see the Folkestone Mermaid, only a few steps from the hotel.

    The views of the harbour were fine, and the room was impeccably clean and cozy. The entrance through the back door felt secure and private. Val at check-in was friendly and shared great tips about local parking, made everything easy for us.

    No complaints at all!

    My stay was good! The fine harbor view from the Double Room with Sea View captivated me. Clean, cozy atmosphere and helpful staff made it even better. A minor inconvenience was the noise from the pub below, but it didn't overshadow my experience.

    comfy beds
    limited parking

    The pub had a fantastic atmosphere and the food was surprisingly good for the price. While enjoying some live music in the evenings, I really appreciated the comfy beds for a good night's sleep. Parking can be a hassle after 8am, but it was manageable for our early plans! 😊

    Amazing stay with great staff!

    We've been here a few times now, and it's always a great visit. The staff are super friendly, and the place is super clean. We love chilling at the bar area too! The only thing is, the beds are a bit firmer than we like, but we still slept well. Thanks to Trish and the team for making our stay special!
