The Portland Hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but I had a beautiful, comfortable room right next to Leas Cliff Hall. Friendly staff too. It's an excellent spot if you are visiting for Folkestone parkrun - the start is right next to the hotel.

The location was excellent, within comfortable walking distance of the centre of town and the coastal walk. I had an ensuite room which was spacious, well appointed with the necessary coffee and tea etc, and clean. I'm a theatre nurse and a little OCD about cleanliness; the room and hotel satisfied my picky expectations.

It wasn't my first choice (I was catching the channel ferry and I would have preferred to have been in Dover) but what a pleasant surprise. I was travelling with my dog and I was amazed at how dog friendly the town was. I particularly liked the coastal walks and I enjoyed reading the informational plaques around the town. One thing I found so touching was Remembrance Road adorned with the handmade poppies. I was struck by how much effort the council has devoted to highlighting Folkestone's attractions and making them accessible to visitors. I enjoyed just wandering around the town with my dog and appreciating it's history and sights. Folkestone turned out to be a serendipitous experience and I'm glad that I didn't stay in Dover.

We stayed in hythe. It was beautiful. Lower leas coastal park was great for adults and children. We visited broknell Park which was a lovely walk. The town in hythe was worth the visit with boutique shops.

Folkestone has reasonable shopping facilities for a small town. It is close to some very beautiful areas of Kent, like the Elham Valley. It has excellent train service on the high speed trains from London Canterbury is about 45 minutes drive away and well worth a visit. If you enjoy walking in scenic countryside Folkestone is surrounded by it.
The town is hilly and getting down to the harbour means negotiating a fairly steep gradient, so might be less enjoyable or more challenging for people with mobility problems. There is a bus service.
There are restaurants, pubs, places to eat out but if you're on a budget there is an Asda, a Sainbury and a Lidl store in the town centre where you can buy food. There is a good bus service to Dover and to Canterbury.
Wonderful beachside location, nicely decorated & new facilities, full working kitchen, great views, very spacious flat. Lovely little touches i.e. choice of books, games, intro to area, blankets, cushions. Good amount of cleaning products in kitchen. One of best places we've stayed in Folkestone. To flag there are several flights of stairs and no lift so not one if you're less mobile or elderly who may struggle with getting heavier bags up there.
Absolutely perfect stay in Folkestone. Everything was perfectly appointed and thought out. Every time I thought “I wonder if they have ______” it was in the room. Beds and bedding were so comfortable, bathrooms were spotless, fridge had milk, every single thing we needed or wanted was there. Location was excellent for walking to a concert on the coast. Host was so friendly and helpful. Could not have been more perfect!
Friendly down to earth staff. The hotel bar is a chilled place to enjoy a leisurely evening drink.
Folkestone is only a ten minute bus ride away, with a bus stop right outside the hotel. Saves using the car, and allows a drink or two if dining out!
Our room was quite adequate, with a super comfy superking bed. Although on a busy through route traffic was calm at night and did not disturb sleep.
We will return!!
I have been a hotelier for 35 years ideal, location for an event at the folkestone sports centre tho visitors are mainly overnight stayers usiing the channel tunnel.ideal place to rest before travelling on.A quiet and peaceful area.great value and superb breakfast.
Good hotel located near the cliffs/beaches of Folkestone. About a 20 minute walk along the coastal promenade to the town centre. Comfortable bed and rooms, good shower. Used as an overnight stop before onward travel by ferry from Dover to France.
You're only meters away from the Eurotunnel and the A20, yet you'd think you were deep in the beautiful Kent countryside. And to think in the past we'd drive into Folkestone for the night before a morning crossing to France. Never again...
I always stay at this hotel on my way to England from the continent. It’s ideal for me with my dogs and a car. Always looking forward to a beautiful walk along the coast and a meal in local pub. Special thanks for being dog friendly 🐾❤️
WE will have stayed 3 times in the space of 2 months.Have stopped for 3 day stays in the balcony rooms loved it and keep going back for more.We have stopped in many dearer hotels in Folkestone but liked the Southcliffe the best.
This hotel was a lovely find & perfectly located to visit Folkestone (which we'd never visited before - wish we had been there longer?) The restaurant was excellent & the staff very friendly & helpful - we will be back!
Grand Burstin: The Folkestone 'eyesore' which actually replaced a stunning 19th century hotel
The Royal Pavilion saw highly esteemed guests such as Charles Dickens - and allegedly Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Clean and quiet, good location, was given a garden side room so no noise at all. Receptionists and restaurant staff were always friendly and happy to help. Was my second stay in the hotel and I will come again.
The room was quiet and well located with balcony and seaview. Reception staff were very helpful and informative. Hotel was close to shops, cafes, bus station. Lots to see and do in Folkestone.
I can honestly say I am struggling to say anything nice about the place. The staff where ok but very patronizing. The location of the hotel is good being right next to the Leas in Folkestone.
All staff were incredibly friendly and polite. Rooms and surrounding areas kept clean and tidy. Breakfast was tasty. Check in was fast and efficient. Excellent hotel.
Hotel is OK for one night stay before ferrying to France. breakfast is poor as most UK hotels. plus the usual issues with coffee machine which didn’t work
