Top Sandgate Castle Hotel Reviews

Burlington Hotel, Best Western Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are extremely friendly and efficient always helpful if you have a problem. We booked a cosy room which is clean and has all you need for a night’s stay. Breakfast is buffet and there are also freshly cooked choices too included with your breakfast package. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough bread - eggs cooked just how I like them! Staff were very attentive making sure you had tea and coffee not long after you sat down and taking any orders. The same can be said for the staff in the bar when we had tea and scones early afternoon and also again late evening with a cocktail. The only downside of this hotel is the parking. There are 12 dedicated spaces in front of the hotel which are filled very early by 11am according to the staff! The rest is paid for parking permits but there is no guarantee you will get a space. Last year when we stayed at the hotel, one road on the side of the hotel was still free of permits but this year this road has also been allocated permit parking. This is obviously not the hotel’s fault but does make it more difficult to find a space and of course there is the additional cost. But despite that we had a great stay."

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here very clean friendly staff this is the 4th time we have stopped here on the way and way back from Disneyland Paris."

voco The Clifton Folkestone by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel reception staff were very welcoming on our arrival. Our room was very clean and had air conditioning, a wardrobe with plenty of hangers, desk, two chairs and a small table as well as bedside tables. The lighting was good with various settings. A lovely shower room with rainfall and handheld showers and fluffy towels, hand wash and lotion by the basin as well as an electric toothbrush/ shaver charger. In the shower cubicle body wash, shampoo and conditioner were provided, all the products are suitable for vegans to use. The breakfast was very good with both continental and cooked food, vegan and gluten free options and lovely coffee/tea and fruit juices. The waiting staff were very attentive and polite. We stayed 2 nights here and would definitely recommend this hotel."

Sea Spray Cottage by Bloom Stays - a holiday let that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Sea Spay is simply a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect, with unrivalled views across the Channel from the cottage and its lovely patio. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped, with a stylish nautical theme throughout. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, including cushions and blankets for sitting outside and enjoying the sea views. Even the powerful shower has a wonderful view out to sea! There was plenty of helpful information about the local area, too. It is the perfect place either to relax and enjoy the immediate surroundings or to use as a base for exploring other parts of Kent. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it."

Westward Ho Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location is great the hotel is a little old but that adds to the charm, however the staff are outstanding with the breakfast team especially being cheerful smiling all morning. The breakfast was better than we expected, and we will definitely stop her again."

Driftwood Cottage by Bloom Stays - family friendly cottage with sea views

10/10 Excellent

"Wow what a fabulous cottage. We ve been coming to Sandgate to stay with friends for 30 years. This year was a surprise birthday party . I’ve always seen this row of cottages on my walks by the sea and was determined to stay in one as it’s such an idyllic spot. It was absolutely perfect in every way. We will definitely be staying here again . ❤️"

Coastal garden flat with parking. Pet friendly! Only 2 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely flat, beautifully furnished and decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lots of 'extras' such as toiletries, hand cream, books, games etc. Suspect the owners use it for holidays themselves as it feels like a much loved home."
