📍 22-26 The Leas, Folkestone
★★★ 7.2 (111 reviews)

"Stunning view of the Straits of Dover and France on the Horizon. Reception was always helpful with advice on the best restaurants and provided extra milk / tea/ coffee sachets for our morning cup of tea/coffee as there was an electric  jug in the room. A spacious room with easy opening windows for a fresh onshore sea breeze. The only ‘problem’ was a below standard shower; as the water came out of the shower rose at a warm trickle. Unfortunately the beautiful bath tub could only be filled with shower water, the bath tub taps did not work, which was so slow it became cold, and several boiled jugs of water had to be added to have a luke-warm bath. On checkout the reception staff apologized for the sub-standard shower/ bath. They said that they are in the process of upgrading rooms, and would have been happy to give us a better room with a better shower/ bath. Overall: a wonderful experience."

📍 1 Back St, Folkestone
★★★★ 8.4 (52 reviews)

"This was genuinely a wonderful and most special place. The Rocksalt Rooms are in a separate building to the Restaurant - but you check in at the latter and walk you over. Note all the streets here are cobbled, which can be slippery when wet. They are a real BoltHole as they are described, and there are only four total. 2 on 1st floor, 2 on 2nd floor, with one per floor harbour facing. I'd definitely suggest that the upgrade is worth it. The rooms are compact but exceptionally well presented. I've odd little niggles, theres no bedside of any kind - floating shelf would work, where do you put your mobile? And the metal bed frame is ornate and was loose on the footboard. The biggest challenge is where to put things. There are a few hangers on the back of the door and a small set of hooks, but not a drawer or proper place at all. I get space is a real premium here - bedside with 2 drawers all you need! The wet room is compact as everyone says. You won't keep the floor area outside the shower dry, it's not possible. The sink is a corner one with no space to place things but there is shelf in the bathroom for all your luxuries. The body wash / conditioner / hand soap / hand moisturiser are great quality. Noise - it's by the Harbour so they start early, but for us it was part of the charm of the location, the fresh fish smell was totally incredible. Breakfast is not to be missed, across in the restaurant with the best view, it's harbour side. Loved the granola, yoghurt, compote starter. I had English Breakfast as I was hungry, it was great quality but disappoining - it was more style over substance. The bacon is cooked to crispy, not my style at all but great quality. He had the Salmon & Eggs and it won hands down. Local, fresh, decent portion, on wonderful Sourdough. Luckily I was saved a bite. A point or two more - the bedside light fused the circuit and the room was plunged into darkness. Looked for fuse box, could not find. Ended up in Restsurant. They had to get keys to a location they used to own but don't now (ground floor of the Rooms building). This took a while as the keys had to be obtained. I get how this used to work, but not now - the fuse box needs moving. The if we cant fix option was check out and refund - erm no!! There is the most incredible Team member behind the Bar/ Restaurant from Bulgaria whose name I have really tsckily forgotten. For which I apologise. She is truly wonderful and made the visit for me, id return solely to see her again!!! Overall we loved Rocksalt Rooms and would return, to have dinner in the restaurant too! Thumbs up from us, thang you so kindly 💕"

"In general the hotel is very clean beautiful location. But as a light sleeper, I struggled as you can often hearing the banging doors. And the night I was there, I could hear a constant alarm noise throughout the night, which felt somebody forget their alarm clock somewhere. Had a really bad night!"

The Southcliff Hotel ★★★
"Apart from the location which was convenient and close to the beach, the rest of the experience was terrible, there was dirt literally every where in the room, radiators, television, curtains everything was dusty more over shower and lights in the bathroom was not working properly. House keeping services i don't know if they were there in the hotel, I had to request 4 times to empty my rubbish bin. The worst hotel I had ever stayed in!!! Period."
