Situated in Dover and within 1 km of Dover Beach, Les Fleurs Accommodation has a bar, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 600 metres from Dover Priory Station, 6.8 km from White Cliffs of Dover and 14 km from Folkestone Central Railway Station. Sandown Castle is 16 km away and Sandwich Railway Station is 20 km from the hostel.

What an amazing place! The historic pub downstairs was definitely a good time, and both the staff here and the local residents I met were great people! The hostel facilities are topnotch. Clean, comfortable, relaxing, and secure. The landlord has obviously gone out of his way to make this place somewhere you can feel at home while you travel. I had two excellent nights of sleep in a very comfortable bed and much appreciated hot showers in a clean, well-appointed bathroom. The location is tough to beat: within walking distance of the train station and everything you'll want to see in Dover. It's in a safe neighborhood and conveniently across the street from a police station. There are multiple grocery stores practically around the corner. There's an available car park, but I didn't use it as I'm backpacking, but other visitors I spoke with had no problems with it. I highly recommend this place and I'll stay again if I'm in the area.

Situated in Kent, less than 1 km from Dover Beach, 116 Maison Dieu Road Room D in Dover features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is set less than 1 km from Dover Priory Station, 6.4 km from White Cliffs of Dover and 13 km from Deal Castle. Guests can enjoy garden views.

At the hostel, the rooms have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a shared bathroom, bed linen and towels. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge.

The room is charming. The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. There is a sink and television in the rooms. There are two bathrooms for the five rooms. One is a full bathroom with a shower and a sink. The other bathroom just has a commode. All five rooms were rented while there and there was no problems. There is a kitchen that is stocked with everything you need to cook. There's a lovely courtyard in the back to sit in. They also have a sitting area before the kitchen. What works out great is if you drive or take the training early, she allows you to pay 10 lb to do an early check-in which worked out great for us because we're able to drop all our bags and go out and explore. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends or my clients that are coming here to get on a cruise. The terminal is a 5 minute taxi or a 15 to 20 minute walk depending on how you walk to the terminal.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location if you need a place to stay to catch the ferry the next day. Just a 10-minute drive away from the port of Dover (provided there aren't any queues, which there probably are). The staff offered a 'grab and go' breakfast which was very convenient for us. They were also very flexible with regards to late arrival and early departure. Free and safe parking is offered, which is great for this purpose.

    Karen, the host, was very accommodating. We arrived late and left early because of train delays and ferry times but were able to access the property using the keysafe and everything was beautifully presented and very clean. Karen had provided a fan as requested for Dad and nothing was too much trouble. Great location for our early start for the ferry!

    The staff were ever so friendly and accommodating. I had my bike with me and was very happy that the bike was safe overnight. I had a very early start, I checked out of the property around 5:30am, and it was seamless. Great location also- very central in Dover.

    The property is in great location for Dover ferry port and is a much better price than any other hotel/hostel in the area. As we were only staying for about 12 hours we weren’t prepared to pay the ridiculous costs of some of the other places.

    Staying at Les Fleurs was a pleasant experience. The host provided towels, linens, ect, and the location is extremely accessible to the town centre, the castle, shops, the cliffs and the beach. It's not a 5 star hotel with all the bells and whistles, but for a short, cheap stay, it is adequate and the bathroom/dorms do the job!
