Average hostel, cleanliness is acceptable. The bar at the ground floor is the highlight of this place.

I am writing to you to express my deep dissatisfaction and make a public complaint about the poor service received by a reception employee at the Dover Castle Hotel in London. The incident occurred on July 19 at 6:10 pm. This employee behaved in an insensitive, inhumane manner and showed unacceptable mistreatment and indifference towards me. Additionally, he refused to give options when I tried to pay by card, rudely insisting that they only accepted cash. It is clear that this person does not love what he does and his behavior reflects excessive pride and an attitude of superiority towards others. This individual is clearly xenophobic and his treatment leaves a very bad image of the hotel. My experience is not an isolated case; I have read numerous comments and reviews on the internet where other clients express that they have been treated in the same way. This person shows obvious discrimination and completely lacks the slightest courtesy towards customers. Despite all the complaints that have been made about the poor service and mistreatment of employees, as well as the indifference shown, the hotel has done nothing to improve. For this reason, I do not recommend this hotel to any type of person who wants to stay, especially if they are tourists. I call on the management of the Dover Castle hotel to take the necessary and appropriate measures to resolve this situation. An establishment that claims to offer lodging services cannot afford to have employees who mistreat guests and damage the reputation of the place. I hope that this complaint will lead to immediate corrective action being taken. Guests deserve to be treated with respect and courtesy, and it is the hotel's responsibility to ensure that its staff lives up to these basic standards of customer service.

Straight forward, nice clean room and bathroom facilities. Fantastic, friendly and safe atmosphere in the bar. For my first stay at a hostel ever this was definitely a brilliant experience. We stored our things in lockers provided for £1 a day. We came and went as we pleased, happily. I would recommend definitely.

Location was amazing, Wifi never work. The lady receptionist was so kind. Last day 19/01 the guy receptionist was rude seems working in fish market. Overall stay was fine except wifi and the 1 unprofessional receptionist behaviour.

NON FATE ASSOLUTAMENTE CASO ALLE RECENSIONI PRECEDENTI QUEST ANNO. Premetto che ero molto scettica appunto per via di queste recensioni se prenotare o meno. Credo di meglio a questo prezzo non avrei mai potuto trovare. Innanzitutto ho dormito in due stanze: una da 10 letti e L altra da 6 letti. Entrambe molto pulite, solo poste in due piani differenti. I letti erano dotati di lenzuola e copri cuscini che chiedono solo di portare giù una volta finito il pernottamento per lavarli. I bagni sempre puliti e se non lo sono è perché chi decide di pernottare a volte è un animale e non ha alcun rispetto del lavoro altrui. Dico questo perché una mattina ho trovato il bagno , posto al terzo piano completamente pieno di pipì ( O V U N Q U E ) ma era troppo presto ed ero troppo assonata per informare la reception e quindi ho usato L altro bagno. Al piano secondo invece troviamo purtroppo un solo bagno ed una sola doccia che magari può risultare fastidiosa se si hanno delle tempistiche da rispettare. Detto ciò la location e’ super graziosa. Semplice. Funzionale. Dotate di sapone, salviette e spray anti odore. Al primo piano si trovano invece altre stanze e la cucina. Molto vicino al Millenium bridge, London bridge e a molti locali graziosi. Unica nota dolente : in entrambe le camere ho avuto la sfortuna di trovare due uomini che russavano come non mai. Consiglio quindi, essendo camere promiscue, di portarsi i tappi per le orecchie, altrimenti la nottataccia e’assicurata. Concludo con una nota di merito al Personale carino, gentile e sorridente e soprattutto multi lingua 😊

It is my firm opinion that attentive, responsive, supportive personnel and management can ensure the success of a business. This is the target that Dover Castle Hostel are achieving, from my point of view. I found this hostel inviting and cheerful, a result not easy to attain in London’s hospitality competitive market during the low season, when the weather is bad. I arrived at the property on a rainy weeknight, worried about the quality of the accommodation. Cold and rain can stir up trouble, only the best lodging establishments are always lively, some others have dirty linen to wash in private. Nobody likes to sleep in a run down, lifeless, uninspiring bedroom, whatever their gender, age, body type, cultural background and so forth, but according to guests’ feedback in the whole of Europe it occurs sometimes. It happened to me years ago, I read the description of a hostel on the web, watched the pictures and gave it a go, but when I walked into my room I realised that it was so mouldy, decayed and desolating that it couldn’t have been suitable to an average traveller like me but only to people who would have slept there for a really cheap price or to be used as a storage room. Nonetheless Dover Castle Hostel was shining brightly, all the rooms I visited were in good shape, all facilities were cleaned and serviced regularly and there was a relaxed, sociable vibe. In particular, the online advertisements faithfully reflect what I experienced, none of the hostel features is misrepresented as it occasionally happens throughout Europe. Communication and understanding of guests are keys that open many doors.
