Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, staff was amazing. Dining area was great"

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Well located for Shuttle, easy to find, good on site parking. Excellent, helpful reception. Room excellent for this price point - good amenities and comfortable. Huge bed! Breakfast included - cold buffet available from 0400 which is great for early starts, hot from 0600. Will use again."

Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Was a little disappointed to be charged for parking, this seemed a little unnecessary given the location and felt like just a way to extract more money from guests. Given the location almost all guests would have to have driven so it would be clearer to include the full costs in one hotel price than have hidden costs as soon as you arrive. "

Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone

10/10 Excellent

"Room clean and fully equipped. Kettle and hot drink substances. Iron and ironing board and hairdryer. Staff friendly. Managed to sign up for scheme providing discounts based on purchases made. As usual, lovely view over folkestone harbour , with white cliff of dover in the background. Good music event on 1 of the 2 nights. "
