Nice enough property that was easily walkable to town. The room was cleand and comfortable. Staff were nice. WiFi was fine. No smart TV so no netflix or casting. Breakfast was fine. We had dinner at the resturant the first night - upon reflection, we felt it would have been better to have had dinner elsewhere because no IPA on tap and just plain pub food that wasn't the greatest. It was a good hotel for two nights.

Excellent staff with stand out service by Ben. He was very helpful, kind and went out of his way to assist me when I arrived in Folkestone from London completely stressed out and exhausted. I was there a few days recovering and he continued to be super helpful with taxis, directions, information and even reminded me when it was time to leave breakfast for the train to the airport. I remain grateful for his assistance. Plus the coffee was good and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and the view was fantastic. The proximity to the downtown was just perfect for me.

Walls like paper so felt I was with the family with kids in the room next to me. Pillows so lumpy that it was nearly impossible to sleep. Room didn’t feel clean. Not impressed. Won’t be back.

The View used to be the best hotel in Folkestone, shortly after it was renovated. It has categorically lost its crown, due largely to complacency. We had a ground floor room (No 100) that was unbearably hot with no ventilation. The sash windows were sealed at the top but clearly not done by a professional and where the seals were pealing in places. The lower sashes opened on two windows .. directly at ground level and very easily accessible from the street, which is clearly a security risk. One sash did have a security bolt to prevent the it from being opened more than 8 inches but only on one side, but both bolts were missing on the other sash, leaving only screw holes where the bolts used to be. We slept with the secured window open only to be greeted by an industrial strength kitchen extractor firing up first thing in the morning sending fryer smoke directly into our room. The smell of burnt bacon was disgusting impregnating all of our clothes. Then there’s the shower that had an opening just wide enough for a super slim athlete or skinny teenager but not for someone like me of more generous proportions - I had to step in full sideways and squeeze through the gap scraping my back and front on the door edges. Finally, we paid £25 for a dog. But they did not bother to put even a water bowl in the room. We asked why not and was told that they were not enough bowls but they were available if we asked - buy more more bowls! The competition is hotting up. Pay attention!
