Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and some drawbacks. The rooms were perfect with a view of the seafront, but the central air conditioning was disturbing, and the issue with hot water was inconvenient. The location was great for visiting Dover Castle, but the privacy screen blocked the view, which was disappointing. The service was friendly and welcoming, but at times it seemed understaffed. Dining had its ups and downs, with a decent selection but served on cold plates. Overall, a stay with some highlights and room for improvement.
The hotel is situated in a lovely location close to shops and eateries, offering clean rooms with great facilities and a spacious balcony. The staff, although small in number, were not as helpful as expected. The hotel's spacious rooms provide an interesting view and a generous balcony space.
The hotel surprised us with a larger room than expected for a 'Superior Double,' even though it felt a bit outdated and had a sloping floor around the bath in the first room. The service, from the reception to the bar, including interactions with Ilhan, the general manager, was friendly and helpful, although we found it amusing. The SPA facility was really nice, but it was a bit short for the treatment, and we were informed that the Jacuzzi could only be used when booking a treatment. The location was great, situated just by the port in the heart of town, making it convenient to the cruise ship and only an hour's train trip from London. The dining experience was enjoyable in a fantastic location that allowed for a walk on the beach after breakfast, although it started a bit late for those with early ferry trips to catch.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right on the seafront, offering beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. However, the rooms were a bit of a letdown in terms of cleanliness and size, not quite meeting my expectations. The service was a mix of excellent and rude encounters. Dining was a hit or miss, with great aspects and some disappointing flaws.
The hotel offers great views and comfortable rooms, although the sea view may not be as picturesque as shown in photos. The annual dinner for our club was a pleasant experience with excellent service and perfectly cooked food.
The hotel was in a nice location with a view of the sea and friendly staff. However, the rooms were small, dirty, and uncomfortable. The dining experience was a mix of plentiful options but poor quality. The location was convenient for sightseeing, although the breakfast was not up to expectations.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, they were quite noisy due to creaky ceilings and inconsistent room temperatures. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was great for catching early morning ferries and enjoying beautiful views, though some noise disturbances affected the relaxation. The dining was decent, but extra charges for basics like a cappuccino felt unnecessary. The spa facilities were lovely, offering a good treatment and enjoyable jacuzzi, although there were restrictions on its use without a booking.
I was a bit disappointed with the room as it was much smaller than expected for a family room, but the balcony was a nice touch. The service was friendly and efficient, but there was a bit of a mix-up initially. The location was excellent for our trip and the nearby seafood restaurant was a highlight. The dining experience was pleasant overall, but there were some issues with dietary requirements. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
