For the money, it was a pleasant surprise. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants. The staff were very friendly. The adjoining bar (SKUBA) and the restaurant provided a good service, quality, and convenience. Especially appreciated given the windy & cold conditions. If you do decide to stay at the Portland, understand that it is not a new building and if... More

Great stay and will definately use again, did not have the continental breakfast on offer, stayed in bed due to a late night out and used one of the all day breakfast cafes... More

I had a trip to Folkestone over 2 nights to visit family. The Hotel is mall but very welcoming and comfortable. Brilliant location for walks, beaches, shops, restaurants, Really appreciated the upgrade on arrival and my room was fabulous. Thank you. Breakfast was continental style, very friendly staff will prepare toast and hot drinks for you. The only issue that... More

I researched a lot of hotels and B&'B's in or near Dover for an overnight stay to catch an early ferry to Calais. Most Guest Houses (B&B's) were about £40 - £50 per night. But I'm not really a big fan of the Guest House experience. There were some really nice 4*+ hotels, but they were £75 - £100, which... More

I stayed here with my partner last weekend for a wedding reception at the Lea's Cliff Hall. We had an "executive" room which meant it was bigger and had an ironing board. Some rooms are 4 floors or more up so do not go unless you dont mind a walk as there is no lift. In our room the curtains... More

This is a superb, value for money Hotel. We stayed for a couple of nights as we were going to Folkstone races. Although the Hotel does not have a car park, there is free parking on the road directly outside. We paid an extra £5 (£65 instead of £60 per night) for a 'superior' room (room 2) and were not...

Your feet might stick to the floor in the bar but it was the liveliest place in Folkestone. Room was basic, no mirror on wall only frame. Bathroom was clean but shower dirty. Basic breakfast. More
