Hotel good, parking limited
Pros:

Clean room, helpful staff, it's an old Victorian building so has its quirks. Car Parking is poor with only about 10 spaces, pay to park on the streets is expensive so do your homework before you travel.

Pros:

The location was perfect for Folkestone shuttle - also for walking the dog along the sea front - which was much nicer than expected. There were many old Victorian buildings housing many memories & history.
The bar area was an added bonus where we could eat with the dog in tow & the food & service were fine.
The staff seemed helpful & friendly. The bedroom although was old had plenty of space & every necessity provided.
Breakfast provided everything needed to start the day.

Cons:

We asked for a quite room which itself wasn't noisy or had outside noise from traffic etc but we were right next to the lift which provided us with an unwanted banging of doors etc. No other faults that come to mind.

A nice, old hotel, but don’t stay here when it is remotely hot.
Pros:

Lovely old hotel, in a nice quiet tucked away part of The Leas.

Cons:

The downstairs bar was nice enough, and the staff were great, but I’d rather the upstairs bar was open for residents.

Room wise, we stayed in a very hot week so it may have been an unfair period to compare, but our room was next to some sort of boiler room and it was very uncomfortable temperature-wise. There is a fan in the desk, but no air con, and the rooms were frankly unfit for human habitation in that heat. When I went to the front desk (the rooms phone didn’t work), I was just told that there was no air con and there was a fan.

Disappointing
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

The room was small, dark and very hot. Unwilling to have the window open during the night as the room was on the first floor with scaffolding outside. The toilet flush does not work properly, staff said it would be fixed - it wasn’t.

War O.K, muss man nicht wieder machen.
Pros:

Freundliches Personal. Das Essen (Abendessen) war top, um nicht zusagen mega gut. In 2 Minuten an der Promenade mit einem tollen Blick.

Cons:

Für 200 Euro pro Nacht eher eine „Abstellkammer“ erhalten. Wir waren nur eine Nacht, aber das war genug. Zu warm, viel zu eng. Bei booking.com wurde auf das kleine Zimmer nicht entsprechend deutlich hingewiesen. Folkstpne selbst war keinen Besuch wert.

Pros:

Charmantes altes Hotel in guter Lage, Winziges Zimmer ohne Lüftungsmöglichkeit be großer Hitze. Die Qualität des Essens kann mit der ambitioniert formulierten Speisekarte nicht mithalten, schnoddrige Bedienung.
