Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated near Dover's tourist attractions and not far from the cliffs, making it a convenient location for exploring the area. My stay was pleasant overall, with some minor hiccups in service and communication. The dining experience was satisfactory, but there were notable lapses in details and knowledge about the menu from the staff. The rooms, although well-furnished, had some issues with the shower functionality, which was a bit disappointing. The facilities were decent, offering the basics needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms have lovely furniture and a bath, but the shower experience could be better. The service includes convenient airport shuttle options for a fee. The location is ideal for exploring Dover attractions but is not far from the ferry terminal. The dining offers quality products but with limited variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel is ideally situated close to tourist attractions in the Dover area and very near the Euro tunnel, making it a convenient choice. The rooms are well-appointed with lovely furniture, but the shower in my room barely worked, which was quite frustrating. The service was exceptional, with convenient paid airport shuttle and helpful tours/ticket assistance. Despite its excellent location, I was surprised that the bar staff had no knowledge of decanting vintage port, which was unexpected. Dining offered quality products, but the lack of information on the decanting process was a letdown. Overall, the facilities were good, though improvements could be made to the shower system in the rooms.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with a mix of shower and bath facilities. The service includes helpful amenities like paid airport shuttle and tours/ticket assistance. Situated near Dover tourist attractions with quality dining options but lacking some facilities.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel that offered lovely furniture in the rooms and a convenient bath. However, the shower barely worked, which was quite frustrating. The service was excellent, with options for paid airport shuttle and tours/ticket assistance. The location, although not right at the ferry port, was away from traffic and just a few minutes away, making it a great choice for exploring Dover's tourist attractions. The dining experience with quality products was enjoyable, but I was surprised that the bar had limited knowledge about decanting vintage port. The facilities provided were satisfactory, though the shower issue in the room detracted a bit from the stay.
