The hotel's location was great for visiting nearby attractions like the White Cliffs of Dover and Dover Castle. It was also close to the beach despite some noise from neighboring rooms.

The dining experience was a mix with a good cooked-to-order meal but at a slightly higher price. However, it might not cater to all tastes with limited options.

My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were really comfortable and clean, but unfortunately, mine overlooked the terrace where customers from the pub were enjoying the evening, so my plan for an early night was ruined. The service was pleasant, accommodating, and professional, and I particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast. The location was fantastic, especially for visiting nearby attractions and enjoying the seaside views. The dining experience could have been better, as the cooked breakfast wasn't hot enough and lacked variety.

I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel. The room was pleasant, spacious, and well-appointed with a very comfortable large bed and two easy chairs. However, there was a noticeable paint smell throughout my stay. The view overlooking Sandgate castle was lovely. The service was accommodating, professional, and the staff were helpful and great characters. The classic old style building seemed recently renovated, and the location was convenient for visiting relatives and strolling the seafront. The dining options were satisfactory, especially at a place called the Dog House which served an amazing breakfast. The hotel had assorted fruits available, and the facilities were adequate. However, I had to go up the high street to find a place for an evening meal, and the area for food places was a bit disappointing.

The room was nicely furnished but smelled of paint the whole time and had a view over Sandgate castle which was lovely.
