Location is ideal for those arriving via rail and is not too far a walk to Dover castle. The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Great value for money. (1903427)

Ken from La Romana, Spain (Mature couple) 05 January 2005

Steep steps for access (I am dissabled and found this difficult), They were also slippery. Also that there were no alternatives for breakfast times or offer of sandwich as remembering this is in a Ferry port and a lot of people like myself wish to catch an early ferry. (1786954)

positive comments Not very Much
negative comments Asked if possible for sandwich in morning instead of breakfast as leaving 5AM, informed it was not possible

positive comments Excellent petit déjeuner et emplacement face à la gare de Douvres. Personnel très sympathique.
negative comments Il faisait un peu froid et les trois premières chaînes de télévision déréglées.

The hotel was very comfortable and reasonably priced, its location was very good for access to the port(Dover) and Eurotunnel (Folkestone). The amount of stairs proved abit of a problem especially as I had a large case and had to carry it up steps to the front door then again up and around more stairs to get to my room, with hindsight an overnight bag would have been far more suitable for the space available. The hotel is very clean and nicely decorated,but having a large case and trying to get in and out of my room proved quite an experience. The continental breakfast is more than adequate and the owners are nice friendly people. All in all a nice place to stay. (1679153)

positive comments Hotel is perfectly situated across the road from the train station.
negative comments There are alot of steps to get up to the front door of the hotel and then more steep stairs to get up again in order to reach your room.

Steve from Seaton, United Kingdom (Family with older children) 28 December 2004

We arrived very late due to a hold-up on the A20 that meant we were sitting in a line of stationary trucks for 1.5 hours. When we arrived at the guesthouse at 12:30am no mention was made of the lateness of our arrival. At breakfast the following morning the host was very helpful about finding our way to the ferry terminal to avoid an accident in the town and generally made us feel very welcome. (1705803)

positive comments Comfortable and clean and all we needed in the room. Decor quite tasteful.
negative comments There was a slight unfinished feel about the place and the room was very compact.

Catherine from Sudbury, United Kingdom (Mature couple) 17 November 2004

This accommodation more than fullfilled our expectations of a good quality budget bed and breakfast. We were very pleased with our room; it was nicely decorated and comfortable. The owner was most attentive and helpful and cooked a mean English breakfast! We will certainly consider booking this accommodation again when we plan another day trip to France. (1678280)

I needed a phone contact that would allow me to phone ahead re my arrival time and to request an additional night's stay. However, the phone number only gave me advice about booking online. Without ready access to the internet while travelling I ended up making alternative arrangements for the extra night. Other than this the accommodation was fine and the proprietors were helpful. (1430726)

positive comments Peaceful, relaxed and quiet - I was left in peace and got a good night's rest.
negative comments Difficulty of making direct phone contact with the proprietors.

Hotel was choosen because all accommodation was non-smoking. Decor could do with updating, rooms are a bit musty and dark. Good location, close to town centre & station. Charging an extra £3 for a cooked breakfast was a bit of a cheek as I'd already paid costs for Bed & Breakfast!! First time ever staying in a B&B that I've been asked to pay extra for cooked breakfast! Owner very friendly. If you want a chatty host and like a smopke-free environment stay here - but go to a local cafe for your breakfast!! (1344404)

positive comments Non-Smoking, close to town centre & station
negative comments Felt an additional £3 charge for a cooked breakfast was a bit of a cheek when I'd already paid for B&B costs anyway!!!

Although I knew that this was an inexpensive room and a room with twin beds, I would have liked to have known how many flights of stairs and how roomy it would be. This attic room didn't have space to turn around! This room should be booked as a single only. (1536012)

Before the stay I would have liked to know exactly where it was in relation to the train station. But thats it. (1479080)

positive comments The couple that ran the b&b could not have been nicer and more willing to help. They helped us with our luggage, directions, everything. I felt welcome and comfortable. The room was small but clean and had everything we needed (but a phone). It was also well situated not far from town and very close to the train station.
negative comments Really for the price, everything was great!

This B&B was very close to the train station. My friend and I traveled by train so this was important to us. Most sites in Dover are within walking distance. Breakfast was not included in the room rate so we had the option of eating out on the two out of three mornings that we needed to get an early start. The owner was informative and had many brochures and coupons for the area. Dover shops and restaurants close about 6:00 p.m. so having a better TV would have been nice in the evening. (1492720)

positive comments Close to town and to ferry docks.
negative comments Very narrow bathroom. Could not brighten picture on TV, therefore, it was difficult to see programs.
