We were greeted by the assistant manager, who was extremely polite and friendly. He gave us a comprehensive tour of our suite, and the accommodation was absolutely wonderful and to a very high specification.  …

Inconspicuous location in a busy area near the beach in Folkestone. Outstanding service with ultra-modern and luxurious rooms guarantee an unforgettable stay, sweetened by small touches.

Without doubt the cleanest, well executed and best quality of furnishings I've ever stayed in at this price. Probably ever. You will not get a cleaner bathroom.Strode is super helpful and accommodating.The only minor blight on things was that all 4 of us took from the description and photos that we had a communal lounge area, this was the reason we booked.It wouldn't stop us booking again and I have recommended Merchant39 to others.

Great stay at Merchant 39. Joseph and Strode were very helpful with great recommendations in the area. The room was lovely and very clean. Butty’s restaurant next door had very good food. We also enjoyed the Ragnor Arms Pub for dinner. The room had steep stairs but Joseph was kind and carried them up for us

The name intrigued me, Merchant 39, and the photos looked inviting. But I was still unprepared for the loveliness of this place. …
