It has great views and is a very spacious and comfortable place.
Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.
A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.
Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.
The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.
The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage).
We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch.
Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see.
We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity.
The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town.
In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.
The Best Western Plus Dover Marina was one of the most exceptional lodging options in our 3 wk travels in UK and France. An exceptionally wonderful setting w beautiful views of the white cliffs of Dover, the Kent Castle, and ferry crossings on the English Channel. Just blocks from original old town Dover with delightful shopkeepers. The hotel itself was lovely and very comfortable. All staff were very pleasant, helpful, and efficient. A truly great value!
Absolutely lovely room! Great location across from Dover Priory station and a good pub with live music on Saturday night. It's all self check-in which had me a bit nervous, but was so easy and smooth. Felt very secure and it was very quiet. Bed was comfy, great space for a single room. Had kettle in room with teas and biscuit. Also had accessible and super useful £1 luggage locker for before or after check-in/out!
Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.
we absolutely loved the room. So clean and bright. First we loved how comfortable beds but the next day we all had back pains. I believe they dont support that well. The table and chairs ere great and breakfast tray. Really nice accomodation but Dover seemed a little forgotten unfortunately. A little sad considering the tourist attraction of the castle and the harbour.
The apartment was very nice and cosy and we felt very comfortable. The location was perfect for us, just a few minutes from Dover and Deal. We were travelling with our dog and there was a great opportunity to go for a walk in the immediate neighbourhood.
Jo and his wife were incredibly nice and helpful hosts.
We would book the accommodation directly again.
Nice little Guesthouse in Dover England. The owners and their family are super nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional. They even arranged for a town car to get us to our Cruise Ship. The traditional British Breakfast was outstanding and even though it was extra it was well worth it and not that expensive.
The guest house is located close to the Dover castle, seaside and the city centre. Our room was quite spacious, with a beamed ceiling, two beautiful windows with outside flower boxes and was furnished in the "old" style. The bed was excellent. We were warmly welcomed by the concierge John, who gave us a great introduction to the city's history.
The little room off the kitchen is really nice. Their patience with us was great. We came on the ferry from Calais that was late getting into Dover and the hostel’s door takes a code they give you as well as a coded door receptacle to get in your room. With these codes you don’t need to see the staff, if you come after hours.
We were in a newly refurbished with sea view and balcony room and it was clean, spacious, and has the best view! We loved our stay so much. The staff are very hardworking, nice, and accommodating. The location of the hotel is beachfront which is perfect. You get the view of the marina, port, dover castle and the cliffs too!
Accommodating and helpful. Arrived early with car trouble; hotel was easy walking distance from a decent mechanic, fish & chip shop, small grocery, off licence, local train depot, Dover castle, and lovely views. Perfect overnight before a morning ferry departure.
Clean, quiet, home from home. For our engineers working close at Port of Dover it was perfect location. They had previously stayed at the Premier Inn, but they liked this much better and we will book again if they need to return to Dover for work.
Breakfast was lovely , plenty of choice and nice quality , we also had dinner the night before and again great choice and delicious ... The handcut chips are the best .The room was in a small.village but only a 10 minute drive from Dover .
Clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Conveniently located a 10 minute walk from restaurants and grocery stores, a 5 minute drive to Dover Castle and the White cliffs. Parking is available.
We had enjoyed very much to stay in Holiday Inn dover. Its very clean, and staffs are really helpful and friendly. Surrounded areas also very clean and peaceful. I would really recommend this hotel in Dover.
Thank you so much.
The proximity to Dover Castle was unreal. We were able to have a flexible check-in and the staff took great care of us. The Georgian room was great for a romantic getaway. Excellent place to stay in Dover.
Very nice hosts. Checkin really easy. They offered to park and lock our bikes in their shed next to hotel. Expect no luxury. Small room, but good price and next tot train station in Dover.
The room was wonderfully decorated. Was just like being in a home rather that a hotel. Breakfast was great and cooked to order! The overall feeling was relaxed and welcoming.
