My family stayed at the Wycliffe Hotel in Folkestone for two nights and had two totally different experiences. We were visiting relatives in the area but were unable to stay with at the last minute due to ill health. With no advanced booking we were lucky to obtain a large family room with ensuite consisting of a double and two single bed. The room had high ceilings, a bay window with lovely views of the garden and was nicely decorated with all the trimmings of a Victorian house. We wanted to stay a second night but had to move to the attic room. Although it had the same bedding arrangements we had to share the ensuite although luckily no one else was on this level. However, this second room had low ceiling and was very cold and we had to have the two heathers on nearly all night to keep warm. After saying that the host was excellent and very accommodating and we got an exceptionally good rate for the room which included off road parking. We had a nice hot full cook breakfasts each day and although the breakfast room was large it smelt a little musty which could have been use to some renovations that were going on at the time. However, the hotel is in a quiet location and within walking distance to the main shopping centre. The rating given are related to the overall experience of our stay but if I were writing a review on just our first night visit the review would be higher.Would we stay here again, Yes but I would ensure that I booked the family room with its own ensuite where we stayed on the first night. Would we stay here again...YES but I would ensure that I booked the family room with the ensuite on the first floor, where we stayed the first night.
