Very convenient for town, beautiful walks along The Leas. Hotel very clean and staff helpful. Room on top floor, corridor very narrow for large luggage and floor in bedroom uneven with a slope so if your elderly or unsure with your footing could cause a fall, but ok once you remember it’s there. But really enjoyed my stay

Great location and well maintained clean hotel. Nobody at reception when I arrived and no way to contact anyone so a bit of a wait. This is a traditional old British building (though modernised) but this does mean uneven floors, small corridors and lots of stairs. Rooms are more than comfortable, well decorated and overall I’d recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Beautifully refurbished hotel, now called VOCO. Staff so helpful and friendly. Hotel ideally placed for an easy walk along the cliff promenade or a short walk down to the harbour. Excellent restaurant in the hotel for evening meal and breakfast, others available within 10 minute walk. A good base to explore Dover and the other Cinque Ports. Would definitely stay again.

This is one of the better hotels that I have stayed at. Convenient for the Channel Tunnel as it's only a 10 minute drive, the hotel itself is in a decent condition despite its age. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Decent amenities onsite as well including a coffee shop and restaurant. But where this hotel excels is in terms of its staff. From the friendly and helpful man on reception, continuing on to the happy to help staff in the restaurant to the fantastic customer service of the guy running the breakfast in the morning, it all added to the stay. The cherry on top however was the actions of the hotel when we managed to forgot our little ones teddy and head off to France. A quick call to them confirmed that they had the bear and would get him back to us. On arriving home from our trip, the bear had been delivered along with 2 small bags of haribo in the box. One happy boy and a hotel that exceeded all expectations. Would highly recommend!!
