We stayed here on our way to Dover ferry port. We were very impressed with the staff who were all very helpful. We had to leave early to catch our ferry and were very impressed that the staff let us take some pastries in to go bags and coffees in our flasks from the breakfast buffet!

Maria

The staff was amazing and very helpful. Our bedroom has a problem with the window, and we get a new room without any problem. Breakfast is delicious, like a holiday in standard. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is polite. I read previous reviews, and some people complained about noise from A2. It is not very right. It's normal noise, and we have a good sleep. It's a shame they don't accept dogs, which is what we require for our future trips.
