Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy hotel with a nice atmosphere. Gave the rooms 4 stars as the bathroom needed a little maintenance, the toilet felt like it was coming away from the wall and the shower screen seal was a little old/grubby, we meant to mention the toilet to reception when we left but we forgot. The beds were a good size, very comfy and nice pillows. Breakfast was also very good. We charged our car over night in the hotel car park. Easy to get a space and chargers were also easy to use. Would definitely stay again if visiting Dover.

Close to Dover castle! Had plenty of gluten free options at the restaurant and gluten free options for breakfast (gf bread if asked for it)Thin walls so we heard the room next to us. We also had our sound machine so it was fine. Shower could have been cleaned better. We needed a bed for our 3 month old. The pack n play they provided wasn’t the cleanest and they didn’t have a sheet for it. We ended up just having him sleep in bed with us. My grandparents got a handicap room. Fit the wheelchair nicely. The bar by the toilet made it a little snug. Staff was nice and helpful. Might be time to clean the dead flies off the display shelf with the items you have for sale.

The only hotel willing to extend their service and allow you a room outside of regular checkin times. Mr. Rohan was very helpful and polite. Hotel room was on the smaller side but however the amount of money spent was worth it looking at the location, free parking.

Excellent Father's Day meal, great food, drink and lovely staff. So clean, professional and well organised. I would highly recommend as was suitable and inclusive for a wheelchair user. I was absolutely impressed and had an extremely great time.

Imagine woke up by a really bad disturbance at 1am for screaming, shouting, running the hallway and bagging doors by a group of kids. Mind you, not just one room doing all of this, it's more than 5 rooms. …

Visited today for my dad’s 91st birthday. It was just a quiet family lunch but the staff made it super special. They were very kind and attentive, the food and service was perfect and they even brought my dad a special birthday cake in a chocolate decorated plate and sang to him. It made his day. Thank you

We held a large reception here in the marquee following a family funeral. Events manager Sashen was extremely helpful when we were arranging it and nothing was too much trouble. On the day, Sashen and his team provided excellent service. The buffet was beautifully presented and the food delicious. Thanks to all involved, will recommend.
