Pleasant room, excellent value for money, and really well located.
Pros:

The room was rustic and pleasant, and had all the necessary facilities. I had a very good night's sleep, which is rare for me. The location was excellent - just 5 minutes walk from the beach and all the main shops. I didn't know Folkestone and it was a really charming place.

Cons:

The set-up is a little strange. I didn't see a soul to tell me anything about the property. I let myself in with the key in the keybox, and found my own way to the room. The house is over several storeys. Upstairs there is a shared household-style bathroom, and a kitchen and living space downstairs and I had no idea whether I could use these, or whether they belonged to the home owners. I also think they may have longer term guests, who were using all the facilities, so I felt it best to keep myself to myself. In the morning I left in the same way I had arrived - without seeing anyone. Also the television had very limited choices, had to be reprogrammed (with no instructions) and was stuck with annoying Audio Description, which, despite trying every button and menu several times over, I couldn't turn off. But as I only really needed a bed for the night, it was all fine.

Pros:

Pretty room that was quiet (except for the seagulls) and had a nice window but good blackout curtains! Fabiana was an absolutely fantastic host, and the bathroom was large and clean and had a tub and shower and the room also had a fridge.

Cons:

I couldn't connect to wifi, putting the name of the connection and a simpler code would make it easier to do so. The door doesn't close without the key so that was a little bothersome especially as it made noise and I didn't want to bother other guests

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Folkestone
Pros:

nous avons adoré les espaces communs. Le petit déjeuner commun dans la cuisine est une très bonne idée pour connecter avec les autres hôtes. C'était super

Never again and wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

When you walked into the room, there’s a tv hanging precariously off the wall.
We were told there’s no television because it doesn’t work and when it does we would have to pay extra for it.
Very steep narrow stairs up to the room (not told about before booking).
To plug in the kettle one had to place the plug board up next to the lamp by the bedside table.
Slept well but couldn’t wait to get up and out of there.
Very disappointing.
Photos look better on Booking.com than the reality. Grim to be fair.
