Stayed at this hotel in the middle of October as a cheap getaway, booked ahead you can find a room really cheap. The rooms seem to be half way there with the refurbishment, but little things like drawers being half-painted really seemed to let it down. The staff were friendly, they explained everything well and I couldn't of asked for more. The hotel is situated in a lovely position with a minute walk from the beach. Looking around Folkestone I really couldn't see a hotel better than the Burlington within walking distance from the town centre. Really enjoyed the stay and I would recommend it for people looking for a quick getaway or who are looking for a quick stop who are travelling via the Channel Tunnel.

Check was efficient and the counter staff were polite. Reception area and the bar have a certain faded charm. Returning back from our evening, we were informed the bar closed at 11! Practically unheard of in a hotel of this size. The night porter, however will gladly make you a drink at any time, nice, but its not the same.

Its a great building with many interesting features but could do with a sympathetic refurbishment. Our room had been refurbished on a budget. Paid £100 for a "de luxe" room, hmmm...no aircon in a room described as de luxe? Room was quite small and the furniture was low quality...bare chipboard sidetables with a fabric throw over them....poorly constructed bedroom units and domestic quality fittings in the bathroom, which was huge by the way so why the tiny shower cubicle?

All in all was reasonable value for money and will probably stay again, it NEARLY worth the money, the owners just need to have a bit more understanding of the word "de luxe"

prior to travelling on the calais ferry we stayed at the burlington and to be quite honest we really enjoyed our night stay there with out pet dog we had booked on line and we were charged £42.00 PLUS A £10.00 fee for our pet.however on are return to the U.K. seven months later we arrived early hours in the morning 01-45 and decided to stay again at the burlington arriving there about 02-45 in the early hours both really tired and suffering from fatigue considering i had driven non stop from germany the night clerk told us we would have to pay £85.00 for a room plus £30.00 for our pet which we thought was a complete rip off bearing in mind what we had payed earlier on in the year the clerk informed us it was not his fault and it was company policy for the charges we decided rather then get ripped off we would continue our journey back home ,although i cannot fault the level of stay at the hotel we will not stay there again

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend about 2 years ago and really enjoyed it so when we were looking to go away for our anniversary and the weather was so glorious we thought the folkestone coast would be perfect. We have a travel offers card which gives free accomodation and you only have to pay for meals so we only paid £70 dinner, bed and breakfast each for 2 nights. It was great value! Our room, on the ground floor (no.4) was huge and very traditionally decorated, it had recently re-carpeted so looked fresh and clean, very comfortable bed and great shower over bath. The interior of the burlington was once grand and now looks a little tired but I love it, some beautiful edwardian features and quirky feel. We had a lovely weekend the only negative point is the restaurant staff speak very little english and rely heavily on the restaurant manager to translate, he was run off his feet at times. We found this midly amusing and it didn't spoil our experience at all but can imagine if you'd paid going rate it could be annoying. The food was very good.
