“A good stopping point for the Channel Tunnel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This was our first experience of a Premier Inn and it was quite an eye opener, we were very pleased with the room it was basic, but had a very comfortable bed, it was clean and more spacious than I expected, the TV was screwed to the desk to make sure you did not steal it. We were a tad upset by the staff member, but this was because of the Premier Inn's policy here, as we paid cash we had to give some form of ID, like our driving license, passport etc so that we would not steal from the rooms. If you want to use wi-fi here it is very expensive, we were quoted £5.00 per hour or £9.00 for 24hrs if we wanted to use it, we didn't bother so I cannot say if it worked well or not. The breakfast and evening meal was in the pub next to the hotel and was very pleasant.

Room Tip: Great stop over place for travellers going to or coming from France.

“Great Location for the Channel Tunnel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

If you are on an early Channel Tunnel Shuttle you will not find a hotel with a better location. You get exactly what you would expect from Premier Inn, quiet clean room with an adequte restaurant next door. No frills but fine. I stayed on a Saturday night and took advantage of paying up front for the room, a bargain at £39.

“Premier Inn Channel Tunnel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We arrived to a very friendly welcome. We were booked in straight away, we went up to see the room before we took our luggage from the car. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bed was very comfortable with extra pillows on hand if needed. The bathroom was clean although a little tatty with wear and tear beginning to take its toll. We booked the meal deal for £22.00 per person, and we found the choice adequate with only the temperature of the food that needed attention. I must admit we love our food piping hot and on hot plates, and on this occaision both dinner and breakfast wasnt as hot as we would have liked. We couldnt fault a single member of staff, they were all polite and helpful. We would visit again without hesitation.

“Usual Premier Inn - good quality at a good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

I have stayed here several times and the service is consistently good. Excellent choice of food for evening meal and superb choice for breakfast. You can leave at 7.30 fill up the car at Tesco and be at the Channel Tunnel by 7.50. I don't even bother checking availability and prices at other hotels when I visit Folkestone

“Good Location with money back guarantee!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

Stayed for one night before getting the chunnel across to France for a camping trip. Nothing here apart from the Table Table pub/restaurant but decent enough accommodation and ample parking.

Room was fine apart from the fact that the aircon did not work and the windows wouldn't open (as is now ridiculous policy everywhere!) It was a very warm and stormy night and hence our sleep (or lack of) was very uncomfortable.

Our experience at the Table Table wasn't great either as they were much too busy and we were rather ignored. I think it would be OK if not on a busy Sun night. The pub itself is quite pleasant.

The management asked us about out stay on check out and when we told them about the problems with the room etc, we got a full refund! We didn't actually even complain. Can't really fault that!

Probably would stay again for convenience though would hope they have now sorted out the air con issues!
