Good for one night, room we had was a good size with sea view but cold due to badly rotted window frames allowing gale force winds through the gaps. The room also smelt damp. breakfast was basic B&B, staff hard working and polite. One night is enough.

If you just need a roof over your head and a very good breakfast, then this hotel is fine. Yes it's dated but functional, if you venture around the corridors and see the function rooms at some point it was at one time quite grand, unfortunatly its seen it's day. The welcome was friendly and helpful, The lift was a... More

The hotel is very tired and as other reviews in need of a good clean and refurb. The bed linen was clean however and generally the room was OK although the toilet did not flush properly. Breakfast was served a little cold. We paid a budget price for a stopover prior to ferry crossing so cannot complain but would not... More

It was late May Bank Holiday weekend, and after a last minute decision to visit relatives scattered over East Kent, I tried to book accomodation (2 rooms) for the Saturday night. After finding virtually all hotels on the internet showing full or offering crazy-money prices I landed on this hotel showing two rooms with breakfast for a total cost of... More

Awful experience! I understand it's a budget hotel,but nobody pays to be bitten by bed bugs. My husband and I were up most of the night, coming home with one too many souveniers. The guests next door had the same experience.The corridors need a good vacuum and chairs in the rooms were filthy and stained. Breakfast was basic inkeeping with... More

The first sight of this hotel was very off putting, windows absolutely filthy and nearly falling out! We managed to get a parking space round the back and left our car and bags there as too early to check in. This left us quite concerned as to what the room was going to be like! It is a very old,...

*****IMPORTANT***** THIS IS NOT A FIVE STAR HOTEL SO PLEASE CAN REVIEWERS STOP BEING SO DAMN FUSSY!!!!! This is a very good value for money hotel in Folkestone...I'd recommend it for any nights out for gigs, say at Leas Cliff Hall or other venues. Room was retro but surprisingly big. Bathroom was Tardis-like, you went thinking it was a cupboard... More

I've just returned from the Carlton having stayed for four nights on a coach holiday with Sunrise Holidays. Its a budget hotel, so it's unreasonable to expect any more than that, and I was not dissappointed. Prior to my arrival I had written to the hotel asking for a room on a upper floor overlooking the channel. I was pleasantly... More

We booked this hotel as a stop off on the way to France. The price was £25, which was brilliant for two people plus breakfast. So we knew not to expect the best hotel, though i was surprised. It actually was very nice. The room was big and the bathroom a decent size. Breakfast was okay, a full english with... More
