Amazing concierge. But for the price, the room is very small and the only advantage is the location. It's right at the bottom of the castle. The room was clean enough, but the bath was not cleaned properly, and the nescafe coffee was solidified which emans it been there for a while.

We stayed in two rooms here for a night before joining our cruise and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. It is close to the white cliffs of Dover and Dover castle and only a mile from the port. St Martins is very well located. …
