Room and common areas very clean, staff friendly and helpful. Room well decorated and bed comfirtable Some minor issues with fixtures. Only real problem is physical size of the room - too small for two adults and bathroom just uncomfortable.

6/10 Good

Good location

The location is the Hotel's biggest selling point as it is so close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs. The room was ok for a "base" but would not recommend it for a long stay. The food served was excellent.
