Great place to stay. The heating wasn’t working but we received a electric heater which did the job.

Took a very long time to check in - around 30 mins. Unable to provide invoice as printer not working. Room was cold, although did eventually get a heater. Room was very clean, bed comfortable. Good location. Limited on street parking.

Massive rooms with everything you could need. Great service and great bar with 2 for 1 cocktails. Breakfast was exactly what was needed. There was a good choice of food. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The liftvwas broken which was annoying as we had a lot of stairs to climb witb cases and no help was offered. The ensuite was tiny, however the room was lovely

The stay was marred by the absence of a working lift which for octogenarians ruined the stay, and led to cancellation after 3 nights. Otherwise the hotel was reasonably good and the staff most helpful. The food was good although the evening menu was short and unchanging

Lovely hotel. Great views on the sea. The breakfast was great. The bar good and cocktails fabulous! Would recommend to stay. We have been twice now and will always use this hotel when visiting Folkestone.

Excellent staff with stand out service by Ben. He was very helpful, kind and went out of his way to assist me when I arrived in Folkestone from London completely stressed out and exhausted. I was there a few days recovering and he continued to be super helpful with taxis, directions, information and even reminded me when it was time to leave breakfast for the train to the airport. I remain grateful for his assistance. Plus the coffee was good and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and the view was fantastic. The proximity to the downtown was just perfect for me.

The rooms very very warm and the pillows were not good at all. Otherwise it is a nice hotel and good location and bar/restaurant.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff and a fab breakfast.

The dog friendly apartment is in the basement and is a bit musty. The hotel reached out about parking but it was very confusing.

Walls like paper so felt I was with the family with kids in the room next to me. Pillows so lumpy that it was nearly impossible to sleep. Room didn’t feel clean. Not impressed. Won’t be back.

The View used to be the best hotel in Folkestone, shortly after it was renovated. It has categorically lost its crown, due largely to complacency. We had a ground floor room (No 100) that was unbearably hot with no ventilation. The sash windows were sealed at the top but clearly not done by a professional and where the seals were pealing in places. The lower sashes opened on two windows .. directly at ground level and very easily accessible from the street, which is clearly a security risk. One sash did have a security bolt to prevent the it from being opened more than 8 inches but only on one side, but both bolts were missing on the other sash, leaving only screw holes where the bolts used to be. We slept with the secured window open only to be greeted by an industrial strength kitchen extractor firing up first thing in the morning sending fryer smoke directly into our room. The smell of burnt bacon was disgusting impregnating all of our clothes. Then there’s the shower that had an opening just wide enough for a super slim athlete or skinny teenager but not for someone like me of more generous proportions - I had to step in full sideways and squeeze through the gap scraping my back and front on the door edges. Finally, we paid £25 for a dog. But they did not bother to put even a water bowl in the room. We asked why not and was told that they were not enough bowls but they were available if we asked - buy more more bowls! The competition is hotting up. Pay attention!
