Lovely rooms in building near main bar/restaurant. Parking a bit further away (on pier) but was fine. Restaurant was excellent (but expensive). They delivered breakfast to our room as we left early - nice touch
5.0 / 10.0
Rocksalt is unique and charming. The guest rooms are housed in a separate building across the small street from the restaurant which also serves as the hotel office. Our small but comfortable room was rustic with exposed brick and wooden beams. We has a wonderful view of the harbor from our Juliet balcony. We enjoyed a great dinner and excellent breakfast at the restaurant.

Be aware, when booking, that this isn't a hotel as such - it is a restaurant that has rooms in a different building (an old smoke house). Whilst the rooms are modern, clean and pleasant, we did find them very noisy. As the property is nestled right on the harbor, you'll be awakened by early morning activity as the adjacent fishmongers and businesses begin their day early. Breakfast was very tasty, and there is a lovely view of the harbor as you eat.

The room itself was small but cute. Sufficient for one night stay. However be prepared to be woken up at 6am with the delivery lorries and the light coming through (blinds are not blackout). We were away from our toddler for one night and hoping to have a lie in but were up at 6am! Also breakfast does not start till 9 30 which is a bit late. Cannot fault the food or the service though.

No radiators were working, instead 1 electric heater in the bedroom. The bathroom was freezing and the towels damp. Cooked breakfast was only available between 9.30-10.30am, no good for early ferry users!! Cereals, yoghurt and biscuits were provided instead in a hamper in your room with no table! No working light in entrance to room. Not really impressed and the steep stairs was not good! Would not stay again and imo was over priced!

Staff and location excellent. Breakfast 10/10.
Unfortunately the shower/wetroom set up is not practical. The bathroom was too small for this to work. The shower control was confusing to navigate leaving you totally drenched from the overhead shower(not good if you don't need to wash your hair ) or the hand held shower made the entire bathroom wet leaving whatever toiletries in there soaked along with the floor. This also meant that the bathroom didn't look very clean as there was mould on grouting and in corners of the floor tiles.
Although the room was generally clean,when i lifted the decorative cushion on the bed there was a used cotton earbud underneath.
The windows in the room could only be open a maximum on 2 inches leaving the room feeling caulstrophobic and very warm. Also as a safety point no way out if there had been a fire outside of the room.
The
The facilities for storing our clothes was practically non existent. Only having a coat hook on the back of a door with only 2 coathangers ,one of which was broken and nowhere to store non hanging items so we had to leave most of our clothes in our suitcases. Lastly although a member of staff brought us over milk for our tea/ coffee there was no fridge to keep it cold so everytime we returned to our room we haf to collect milk from the restaurant which was situated across the road. As a suggestion maybe long life milk in pods would be better.
Upon check-out there was no one to raise these issues with.

Really nice surprise how great the room was. Couldn't ask for more for an overnight stay.
You couldn't stay for more than a couple of nights at a time though no storage and bathroom was really packed in.

Great location overlooking the harbour Really nice and clean room, a bit small but everything in it, with new furniture. Very friendly staff who offered a hamper breakfast delivered in front of the door the night before since we were leaving at 5am to catch an early Shuttle to France.

We had the 2 bedrooms which was great since the sole bedroom would have been cramped with limited storage for clothes and bags etc. No desk so I had to quickly catch up on work emails with my laptop on the window ledge. Bed very comfortable and plenty of tea and coffee. You must have a meal at the restaurant if you stay which was excellent as was the breakfast!

Very friendly staff. Room was well designed and had all the essentials. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner and it was amazing. Breakfast portion was a little small for me but it was delicious.
4.0 / 10.0
The location is fantastic, tucked away just off the harbour. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the check in effortless. The room was quirky and a little tight as the main bedroom was an odd shape due to the design of the building. The room was clean and the bed comfy. The bathroom was clean overall but I think they forgot the basin as it was a bit dirty but nothing major. The coffee machine was a nice touch, they gave us a small bottle of milk on arrival but the lack of a fridge meant you could not keep the it cold. The bed side shelves are a little small and there was a distinct lack of storage. The shower was a love design and a good size but the water pressure was not great. Very quiet location and the blinds were black out. Breakfast was served in Rocksalt the restaurant, it was delicious and the view is amazing.

Cosy escape from the January cold. The heating was on . There was complimentary water, a Bloody Mary (in kit form) plenty of tea and coffee and ample towels. We had a terrific view from our window.My only complaint would be that the shower was on the dribbly side of efficient but not a real problem.Breakfast was divine. Wonderful place for a weekend or overnight visit. There are some lovely places to walk. We walked along the old train line, down the Harbour Arm, across the beach and up the Zig Zag Path at the Leas Cliff end before strolling back again.It's worth checking out the Anthony Gormley statue under the harbour arm too - best seen at low tide otherwise the sea comes up to his chest!

Excellent service at one of best if not the best seafront restaurant in Folkestone. The small hotel attached to it has small, cosy and charming bedrooms including one for a family of 4 possible. The service and food is of great quality.

Great place to stay, however breakfast was very disappointing. I understand the staff were impacted by COVID so the restaurant was not open on Sunday morning - however our breakfast basket was 30mins late and contained 3 pastries and 2 biscuits only - no substitute for a full breakfast as part of the overnight accommodation.

We had a great stay, the room was lovely and the extras provided were excellent. Friendly and professional staff, we'll recommend it and return again.

We had an amazing experience. The room was beautiful and breakfast at Rocksalt was first class. I would bring your ear plugs as it can be a bit noisy early in the morning when the fishermen are loading the boats. But that adds to the charm of the place. So don’t be out of going.
