The Southcliff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless if a little dated. Beds comfortable exceptional quality of towels. Staff friendly and helpful."

Lovely end of terrace holiday home with a wonderful, quirky vibe, blending art deco with mid-century

8/10 Good

"I need to be honest, the cute quirky vibe is nice but it definitely needs some money spent on it. The bedrooms are lovely, great nights sleep but there’s not one comfortable seat in the house. Also the bathroom is dark and has a horror story vibe. The worst thing is the overwhelming musty smell just as you enter the house. I’d recommend some air fresheners to help mask the old house scent. Location is good for the lovely areas Folkestone offers - good for a couple of nights."

Westward Ho Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location is great the hotel is a little old but that adds to the charm, however the staff are outstanding with the breakfast team especially being cheerful smiling all morning. The breakfast was better than we expected, and we will definitely stop her again."

8/10 Good

"Basic but clean. Great location. Great staff."
