The decor is tired and retro (paint peeling in the bathroom) and the bed heads in our room were not secure, wobbling when we leaned on them. Our room overlooked the carpark and the road noise might bother some but we were used to that anyway. The shower pressure is very low and you have to wait between flushes for... More

Stayed here during a trip to France. The hotel is located 5mins drive from the main ferry terminal at Dover and makes a perfect stopover for an early crossing. I had the pleasure of enjoying their Sunday roast and was really impressed. Good food and value for money. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Would return.

Great staff,waiter/barman was very helpful.Rooms are ok for the money,parking is good and its 3 minutes from the ferry.Wifi which worked well and they have a restaurant which serves decent pub grub. Be wary if setting off early as the walls are quite thin and people coming to bed from the bar woke me several times even though they were... More

Very quick friendly check in, I had read the reviews on trip advisor so was expecting a very basic room, however the room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and there were toiletries provided. The staff were very approachable and engaging, the bar area was comfortable with a large TV. The beer was... More

Cheap and cheerful hotel near Dover, which made it an ideal overnight stop before catching an early morning ferry. The staff were very helpful and couldn't be faulted. The rooms themselves are basic, but perfectly functional. We did ask for a travel cot when booking but it seems the message got lost, thankfully we had called ahead and they had... More

Stayed here as needed to catch an early fever. Wifi doesn't work, rooms are big but very basic and you wouldn't be surprised if you woke thinking you are in the 70's. You need a magnifying glass to see the tiny TV and its on the wrong wall to see it too. The two guys that were running the hotel... More

As others have said – a good over night choice. Don’t get me wrong - As accommodation goes this is pretty average but… What you get is a friendly bar, pub food and if you’re in luck a little local colour and music. All of which add up to a good way to get you in the mood for a... More

As we had an early morning ferry booked we needed somewhere within easy driving distance of the port. We found the Swingate Inn to be very convenient. It was just out of Dover on a hill in the country. Traffic could be a bit noisy if your room was close to the road. WiFi was available and the connection was... More
