Large family room, very spacious bathroom. The only issue was that it was cold in the bathroom and in the room. Breakfast with a good selection for an additional fee, kind bartender. Beautiful hotel building

Great breakfast. Plenty of tea and coffee, excellent location for Dover. The restaurant menu looked fantastic, unfortunately en route we had grabbed a BurgerKing

The host is very friendly, the room got almost all the essentials and the beds were comfortable. Close enough to the centre and the pier for a walk along the seaside.
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.
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.
Perfect location, quiet and clean hotel. Easy to park.
John, the Concierge, is who really makes the difference among other hotels. He was so helpful and gave us the best advices to visit Dover.
There were many places to visit, some of them we missed because we were just one day in Dover, so we'll come back at some point and for sure we'll choose again St Martins Guest House.
We had a nice stay at the Royal Oak. Room was cosy, bed very comfortable and breakfast more than allright. Good decision to sleep there after arriving in England late with the ferry. Next day we could start refreshed on our road trip through the Kingdom. Dover is also nice, unfortunately there was no time left for a walk to the beautiful castle on the cliff.
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.
The property was perfect location for our stop off at Dover, literally 10 minutes down the road to the port.
Apartment was clean and tidy, has everything you need for a stay.
Karen was lovely and accommodating, the weather wasn’t on our side but Karen went out of her way to make sure we had the best experience
- House is very well maintained and beautifully decorated
- The room was very comfy and clean
- Breakfast was delicious
- Host was very welcoming and friendly
- B&B is located in a very quiet area (a bit outside the city), with a beautiful view
- We have not tried it but the B&B also includes a heated pool
Easy check in after a long day on out way back from Belgium. comfy bed and cold filtered water in the fridge, compact but very clean bathroom, better than a generic cheap hotel.Was pretty much as described and right next to the station for anyone traveling on public transport.
Classic English "home"! Very nice room, our room had its own bathroom, no AC, but while we were here, the windows did just fine 😀. Within walking distance of the train station and town. Got taxis from town to go to Dover Castle. The hostess was nice and very helpful.
The hosts Margaret and Phillip were very welcoming. Their lovely B & B was conveniently located walking distance to the train station and town. They were very helpful suggesting ways to see the most in and around Dover. I was very grateful for their help and hospitality.
Our room was delightfully light, clean and comfortable, exactly as described.
The location is excellent being only a short walk to the seaside and the city centre.
Sharon was welcoming and very helpful, keeping our bike safe and providing us with local information.
Just nice honest accommodation with a wonderful and gracious host. Breakfast is a deal if you make arrangements…everything you want in a B an B and you can walk to anything in Dover that you want to or need. Best nights sleep on my recent visit to England!
Room/whole place was really clean, staff were very friendly and helpful.. lovely people. I felt very safe and welcome. 7 min walk from Dover Priory Station, 20 walk to the beach, 30 min walk to Dover Castle.. very convenient spot.
Guest house was good price vs hotels I often stay at. Shortish walk to town centre for evening food/ drink… although Dover is unfortunately a little rough around the edges these days, so wouldn’t want to do the walk in the dark.
Very cozy guest house. Beautiful and comfortable rooms. Delicious breakfast!! Sharon was very nice and welcoming.very close to the Dover Castle, White Cliffs and the sea. Highly recommended 👌
Hotel location was good to get to the port. Staff were very happy to help..we had a bit of car trouble 😞 but all was ok. Hotel was very clean and tidy.
