A room with a view….
The location of the hotel was perfect for us with a view of the sea and a short walk up to the explore the castle and cliffs.
We had a clean, comfortable room with everything we needed to hand. The fridge was particularly useful. We took advantage of booking the breakfast which had a wide choice of hot and cold food.
We would definitely recommend the hotel for a stay in Dover.

Decent overnight stay before cruise. Hotel is trying hard to bring it back to its once legacy status. A few mishaps but overall I would recommend especially for a night or two. Dover as a town is dying on the vine. Many locals said it has changed and being taken down very by others. Go see the Castle. Not much else to do unless you like shopping at secondhand stores.

A few improvements are expected
Overall ok, but it's an old building and they should invest in renovating windows (too much noise coming in) and they should have bigger black outs blinds. Mattress was sagging but unfortunately this is fairly common these days.

Well worth a visit if in Dover overnight.
We booked the room on Hotel.com crossing from Calais after a challenging few days with a car that had broken down going through border control.
The room was well priced, although a little small and tired, but so were we!
On arrival we got a very warm welcome at the lovely reception.
