We stay here every year for 3 nights. It has always felt welcoming, with helpful reception staff - especially Philippa, who makes us feel at home! We love where it is situated on The Leas, so easy to walk to Sandgate, into town or down to the harbour. A perfect hotel!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

All very easy. I wish they’d told me that they could’ve sorted my parking until midday the next day before I paid and only had it until 8 the next morning but it was a minor thing. It was also very hot in our room even with the air con on full. However, lovely room, comfy bed and a lovely view from our room.

10/10 Exceptional

We managed to get a parking space in the square outside the hotel which is not always easy. There is a nearby underground car park that serves the Lees cliff theatre that can also be used but we have not needed to yet. The 20% early dining offer at the hotel's MPW restaurant makes for a good value dinner bed and breakfast mini break.

Fabulous Hotel. Great location. Parking limited so park jn Sandgate Carpark as £12 for 24 hours. Harbour Arm is walkable and great to visit. Lots of eateries. Breakfast lovely - good choice and the Breakfast Room Manager is a real character & professional as are all the employees.

Brilliant location, fab room with quirky uneven floors and great sea view. One of the towels was badly stained, which was a bit of a shock. Lift is tiny! and breakfast okay, staff taking on the Marco Pierre White attitude in the restaurant a bit too much, we got ushered into breakfast by a finger rather than being spoken to, but over all, really pleased with the hotel.

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.

Hotel room was excellent. On site restaurant was also excellent. Perfect location as we had a lovely walk down the zig zag path down to the beach after our meal and honestly was one of the most pleasant evenings we have spent in a uk location for a long time.

The room was clean and the staff had made sure that the room was accommodating us with kids. The breakfast was lovely too! Unfortunately we had to check out earlier than planned due to a loss in the family on that day. We would love to come and visit again !

Friendly staff, well appointed rooms, air conditioning an absolute Godsend, breakfast at the top of its game in terms of variety and quality, nothing I would add or subtract, do yourself a favour if you come to Folkestone don’t waste time looking at other hotels book The Clifton (I have not been paid to say that but comes from a personal enjoyable stay).

I would say it was ok? Reception nice and staff nice and all clean, room felt very out dated and so small despite us upgrading? Husband has a bad neck because the pillows were just not great. Wouldn’t rush back, we did have a lovely time in Folkestone though overall but expected a bit more at the price we paid.
