The staff was amazing and very helpful. Our bedroom has a problem with the window, and we get a new room without any problem. Breakfast is delicious, like a holiday in standard. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is polite. I read previous reviews, and some people complained about noise from A2. It is not very right. It's normal noise, and we have a good sleep. It's a shame they don't accept dogs, which is what we require for our future trips.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Had a great stay. The only downside was having to carry bags upstairs as there is no lift. Would definitely recommend it.

Hotel is nice, staff are brilliant. Only downside is the parking..... Just make sure you stick to the terms and conditions to avoid a fine..... If you have a slightly larger vehicle no chance of parking in the small spaces

Good stay, would have been a lot more enjoyable if we had been made aware in advance that the road right outside the hotel was being shut during our stay. This led to added to our journey time and was very inconvenient.

We stayed here on our way to Dover ferry port. We were very impressed with the staff who were all very helpful. We had to leave early to catch our ferry and were very impressed that the staff let us take some pastries in to go bags and coffees in our flasks from the breakfast buffet!
