The bedsheets, carpets and curtains were not clean. Also, the toilet is shared with other guests. The room had a shower and sink inside, which was good, but not much privacy if you travel with more than one person. The staff were polite though and check in was simple.
We read the reviews before so we were aware the stairs were steep and were fine with it. We were in room 16 so on the highest floor and the steps were not bad at all, we had backpacks so it was easy. We were able to check in early for our two night stay and room was cleaned in the morning and had fresh towels for the second night. TV was small but your not in your room much so its not a big deal. Fan was a great touch for air circulation. Room was small but expected and was sufficient for our needs. LOVED the location near Victoria station, one train directly to Gatwick airport from here. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, highly recommend!
Lovely clean room with everything you need although no lift and lots of stairs to climb to get to it and very small tv.
Lovely little breakfast room with cereal, toast, yogurts, juice, tea and coffee.
In a good position to access lots of places to visit on foot and the tube is nearby.
would defiantly stay here again.
The hotel was extremely small and had no elevator. You had to share a toilet with other guests. It was clean but very small. You had to carry luggage through multiple sets of stairs.
The rooms were very small, bathroom had been renovated but when you sat on toilet you hit the toilet roll holder. Breakfast was a basic continental, if you didn’t time it right you had to queue for a table. Did not have any gluten free, or lactose free options was told you had to order at time of booking, although that was not mentioned when booking. It was reasonable cheap for this area and that’s all you got.

The Dover is no frill hotel. The property is clean and as advertised. The only issue I had was my last day I was not able to take a shower because the water would never turn on and the little bit that did turn on the faucet was just enough to wash my face and brush my teeth.
Good simple breakfast with fantastic coffee, conveniently located 👍, big local Sainsbury’s supermarket nearby, nice hotel staffs; however sadly they don’t provide bar soap every day so need to ask and don’t really think they change bedsheets everyday only tidy up that’s all, very narrow dangerous stairs for luggage carrying, very thin walls & continuous floor creaking late into night which is not suitable for light sleepers, not much tv channels esp. BPL matches, overall good room size for average Asians size, I definitely will return again in future 👍

Great location for all we wanted to do. Bathroom is a bit small, and the sink is in the sleeping area. A little disappointed in the breakfast offerings. Staff was polite and helpful.
Staff were pleasant in the end of our 6 days stay but initially not helpful. I believe they are understaffed. Linens have a certain smell with blood stains inside the comforter. Room was not vacuumed but only trash changed. Two small bar soap provided. Limited towels.
Breakfast are only toast, coffee, juice & cereals.
I’m not recommending to anyone.
Location better, near Victoria station & restaurants.
