Great.people
You couldnt get more friendly people and so very nice . . The hotel is a bit dated but very clean . However the beds are way to thin so the sleep was a bit uncomfortable and walls are very thin so was awake at 6am listening to the neighbours radio. Perfect location for our trip.may stay there again

Cheap and cheerful, nice and friendly staff. Paper thin walls and every time I've stayed the TV control has never worked other than that it's a good hotel.

Perfect location! Kind and helpful staff. Fast Internet! Clean and comfortable room with amazing sea view! Very good transport connections ( close to the Folkestone central bus station). Lot's of opportunities for quick shopping, eating outside ( cafés, restaurants ATM ). Very satisfied! Thanks a lot for my perfect stay in Carlton hotel Folkestone, Kent, UK!

Tired but bed was clean and comfortable
Its okay, bed comfy enough and clean, room just looked a bit tired, but for the price its okay, tv reception is diabolical, could not watch at all. Curtains need rehanging (not my doing). If u wanna be close to town and facilities and not fussy its great

4/10 Fair

Blood stained room
The first room offered had blood stains on the curtains. The second room soo small had to walk around it sideways and we r both healthy weights not overweight being 5feet two inches tall and weighing 8 stone 8 pounds. Then found blood dripping and dried on the sink. And the walls by the window there was a bad smell around the place told it was incence. It gave me a sore throat. The shower was small the shower head loose we had to hold it with one hand to direct it over us. As when u tried to move close enough to get wet the handle stuck out we pushed the water off difficult to explain that problem. Elenctric Plug hanging off the wall by T.V. cobwebs i had to clean off the window as i had them stuck to my hand when i tried to open the curtains in the morning
