This hotel offers a delightful experience with its seaview rooms and welcoming service. The location is ideal near the sea and close to the beach and shops. While the dining boasts homemade bread, it comes at an additional charge. The facilities enhance the stay, making it a great value for money option.

The hotel offers stunning sea views from charming balconies and rooms overlooking the Channel. The service is top-notch, with thoughtful gestures like a welcome drink. While the location provides a picturesque setting on the outskirts of Folkestone town centre, dining options seem a bit pricey at £8.50. Overall, a great value for a seaside stay.
