Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere with neat little en-suite rooms and first-floor access via a fairly-steep staircase. It's located in a very quiet and attractive area of Folkstone, away from the main tourist buzz. I've enjoyed the calm surroundings, although the early starts for the Tunnel were a bit challenging. The dining, although not included, offered classic Italian dishes that were quite satisfying.
The hotel is located in a very quiet attractive area of Folkstone, offering a peaceful stay with a lovely garden. The rooms are super clean and come with shared bathrooms, maintaining good condition throughout. The service is attentive, with housekeeping and laundry services available, making the stay comfortable. The dining experience includes options for vegans, such as miso soup, catering to diverse preferences. While dining is not included in the rates, guests can enjoy the serene atmosphere and convenience of the hotel facilities.
