Top Dover Hotel Reviews

Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone

8/10 Good

"Nice room, good professional reception staff, bar staff and maintenance staff"

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was central and not too far from the car park. However I have to say the bed was genuinely quite uncomfortable and the pillows disappeared when your head was on them. The breakfast was great and varied. Coffee wasn’t bad. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nice stay for the beds could be much much better"

Maison Dieu Guest House

6/10 Okay

"Caution. We booked this location due to proximity to the ferries but on a busy weekend the authorities will not allow a left turn at the bottom of Maison Dieu road. You will be sent out of town and 3 roundabouts later able to come back. A 10 minute drive becomes 2.5 hours. The room was okay. Tired. The person that opened the front door did not introduce themselves and or say welcome. The first thing they said was “you should have received an email with check-in information.” It turns out I did but since I had been driving for hours I didn’t see it. Maybe send it the day before? If people are ringing the doorbell there’s a chance they did in fact not see said email."

Premier Inn Dover - Eastern Ferry Terminal

6/10 Okay

"Hotel is rather rundown and shabby. It is clean though. I paid for a family room one queen bed w a sofa. I was traveling with my brother so he could not stay in the same bed. He graciously slept on the couch. He went to talk to somebody on duty and they seem like they were going to raise the rate that we paid for a lesser room. I said no, I did not. Anyway, the staff was rather rude and the room was not what we paid for."

Premier Inn Dover - A20

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, plenty of parking. Dani was very friendly and helpful during check in. She was able to secure us a 1st floor room upon arrival. Hotels.com states that Premier inn locations have elevators and are handicap accessible. That is 100% not the case, they do not have elevators, and are not handicap accessible. It is the first hotel I have ever stayed at that has an hdmi output in wall so you can connect a laptop or roku device with ease. In the states they try to make that process impossible with hotel remotes that will not change the source. "
