We were greeted by a nice man at the door who showed us about the main bar and room . We had room 4 by the main door which wasn’t a bother the room was decorated lovely and cosy the bed was very comfortable and so clean . I loved the little complimentary mini toiletries on our towels on the bed. The bar was only at the end of the hall and door soundproof was very good you couldn’t hear a single thing unless someone opened it but I didn’t care as they played some decent music it was just a shame I couldn’t join in the fun we where too tired from our beach walks . All round a lovely place we felt looked after and would definitely come back again .

Our experience here was amazing. We arrived late at night after a long day of travelling and were greeted so warmly and made to feel really welcome. The gentleman that checked us in was brilliant and an absolute gem. The room was absolutely brilliant! We were so impressed with the facilities in the room from the size, the bathroom/room layout, the little tea station and the best tv we've ever seen in a hotel. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all had an amazing sleep. The pillows were so plushy and the duvets so soft and cosy. We will definitely be using this hotel as our base for all future trips when crossing the channel!

Great location right next to the sea front and a short walk to town. Perfect for early morning and late nights from the channel tunnel which is why we used it. The family room was huge and very comfortable, it was a hot night in summer but a fan was provided without asking! It is an old fashioned building but the room was bright and clean. Being next to the bar didn't bother us even on a Saturday night especially with the TV on you wouldn't even know!
Parking is tricky especially if you're leaving early or arriving late but it is possible to get lucky with a space outside the hotel.

Check in was smooth, staff were very friendly, helped with the key that didn't work in the outside lock and changed it for me, very spacious room, fairly comfortable beds, warm and cosy feel to the hotel, decor is a little dated, but the whole hotel is a very old building to start with, free WiFi throughout and 10% off food and drink in house. And the location is perfect. Right on the beach front and close enough for staying at if using the Eurotunnel like we did.
Can be noisy in the evenings with the live band, but they do tell you when it stops. Bar and restaurant can get busy some evenings. Some of the mattresses are quite hard.

Close enough to Le Shuttle to be really convenient. Parking might have been difficult so we booked one of the spaces directly outside, also under their CCTV. £6 well spent, I think. The bar was fine, and 10% off for residents was an unexpected bonus. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment, but that's because they were fully booked for Sunday lunch on father's day - probably another positive.
The room was a bit small, but we were only there to sleep and the price was pretty good so it was perfectly adequate. There was quite a bit of noise outside late at night (Sunday) but that's not something they can control.

I booked a family room and it was perfect. Very spacious with a separate bathroom which was great, it was in the room but very private. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The bar was very busy but there is an entrance round the side to use so dont have to walk through the bar if you’d rather not, and the noise from the bar could barely be heard from the room. Beds were so comfortable too
Nothing at all that I didn’t like, and such good value

Excellent value for money in a great location overlooking the sea, town centre just 5 min scenic walk along cliff-top. Although the building is a little tired, the room itself is recently redecorated to good standard, good size, very bright and airy, clean. Strong wifi and many sockets, small desk, good TV. Standard tea + coffee facilities. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Hotel residents get discount on meals, the bar has a large beer garden. Secure car park 100m (paid; no access overnight).
No air conditioning could be an issue on a hot day with full sun on window, and no fridge - but this is a budget price. Some limited noise from bar garden and street. Not wheelchair accessible.

I put No for romantic place to stay because it's a silly question! Room was very comfortable, with good shower that worked and on the ground floor just right for an old boy like me. Location next to the Leas good though perhaps a bit further from the town centre than I would have liked in an ideal world. Hotel didn't provide breakfast but served good VFM dinners. Plus good well-stocked bar
The TV seemed to have a mind of its own!

As I have a mobility scooter we were relocated to a ground floor room. This, for obvious reasons, was not the executive room for which I had paid. Also, we did not get the continental breakfast for which I had paid, at £6 per person per night. So, I reckon we are due a partial refund. I have to say, however, that John was superb and a credit to the hotel. He helped me get my scooter in and out of the hotel, as all entrances had steps.
Restaurant was closed.

We had 2 rooms, the family room was great - comfy beds, spacious, table to eat at, and a separate bathroom! The double room was also very nice, with its own ensuite and window with a view! Both rooms were also equipped with a TV, kettle, water and coffee sachets/tea bags! We were also able to order food and have it delivered to the room - all in all a great stay!
Travelling in a group of 3 adults, it would have been better to simply book the family room, instead of a family room + double room - but Booking.com didnt give us that option (and the listing did not indicate that it was a family room - it was a double room standard + double room budget)! The hotel in itself - I have no negative comments to give.
