Great location
Jeanette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ideal overnight close to the Euro Tunnel

For the price it’s hard to be too critical but the decor and building were tired, there was a stale smell of green and our mattress was past its best, if you need an overnight that’s affordable with a bar and pool table and parking then it’s hard to beat

This place is perfect for anyone watching their ££s. £33 c
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy access to everything

Needed 2 nights away from work and home life and choose folkestone as love the beach .... The Carlton is 10 min walk from the station and 10 min walk from he beach . Shops are also about a 10 min walk Hotel was clean and staff were friendly Room was comfortable and had a sea view I didn't feel uncomfortable being on my own and would definitely visit again

Folkestone

A nice place for a stop off for the eurotunnel, about 10 to 15 mins away.
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tired but worth the money paid.

Used for placing an employee for the week. Asked them their honest opinion and they were quite impressed for the loney. Yes its a bit tired, a bit worn but for £30 a night it was very acceprable and we will be returning to using the hotel for the member of staff based upon their own request.
Matthew, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just needed for the tunnel early the next morning with parking. Ticked the box.

8/10 Very good

Get what you pay for.

The staff was very helpful, but the rooms are very outdated and not very clean, but you can't complain about the price.
Carlos, 1-night trip

My stay

The view was great, the staff were all very friendly, however, the shower was broken and there was mould in the bathroom because there was little ventilation. There was damp in the corner of the room and the bed was on a slant on one side. The car park was gravel, extremely bumpy and needs to be repaved. Also there was no lift,and I didn't book an accessable room so I had to climb 2 sets of steep stairs
Megan, 14-night trip

4/10 Fair

Never again

Shower was terible had to run for ages before any hot came through then it really hot. It says rooms cleaned daily but ours wasnt touched. The sink leaked so everytime you washed your hands you had water on the floor. We sat outside and the smell of drugs is awful. People sat in the doorway smoking so the smell was coming inside.
Mabel, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very conveniently located but very budget type accomodation. Greeted on arrival with the strong smell of weed as smokers directly outside front door. Room was extremely basic and curtains, carpets and furnishings all very worn/ tired

2/10 Poor

Awful dirty place that let under 18s in to play the fruut machines, dirty bath with bugs on the floor, looks grand on outside but inside the rooms not so
Deborah, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Safety issues

Bed clean. Room not. Bed hard and badly worn where it dipped and sloped so no sleep. Kettle had to be boiled on a chair in middle of room because lead and plug length and position. Boiling hot water in taps with no warning. One of us scalded ourselves as no basin plugs to help mix it to safe temp. No grip bars to climb in/out bath/shower. Holes and slopes in floors. So not able to safely shower which had to be positioned to use. Not safe. So no sleep. No shower. No price is worth that.

Great.people

You couldnt get more friendly people and so very nice . . The hotel is a bit dated but very clean . However the beds are way to thin so the sleep was a bit uncomfortable and walls are very thin so was awake at 6am listening to the neighbours radio. Perfect location for our trip.may stay there again

Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Advertised on the website was : Full breakfast, but being english that meant to us bacon, eggs etc but it was full continental. The room was fine, clean etc, but a bedside light would have been an asset. Other that that ,staff very friendly & helpful.

Rachel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap and cheerful, nice and friendly staff. Paper thin walls and every time I've stayed the TV control has never worked other than that it's a good hotel.
James, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here, dirty smelly bathroom, chipped furniture- old wooden dark, nothing like the pictures on website, tatty, awful. Felt unsafe & dark / dingy. My 15 year old was literally in tears with how awful it is. Thankfully only a stop off from ferry trip but not a place I would ever set foot in again
