The View Hotel Folkestone, a member of Radisson Individuals

We were greeted by a lovely friendly member of staff on arrival. We immediately knew we would be happy at this hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a wonderful sea view. A very pleasant surprise. The restaurant and bar areas are relaxed and enjoyable to use. The breakfasts were plentiful, with a good variety of choices. The fresh fruit was delicious. The restaurant and bar staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The evening meals were superb and we ate there 3 nights. A first class hotel. Thank you.

COMFORTABLE, PEACEFUL PRICELESS ROOM WITH A VIEW

The room - on the top floor - was very clean and of a good size and was warm but also air conditioned. The bed was comfortable and the ensuite shower/toilet was bright, modern and looked quite new. The housekeeper kept our room very neat and tidy for us throughout our stay. The staff members whom we met during our stay were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast room people. The breakfast was for the most part quite good. It consisted of a great variety of food items which were plentiful and generally of good quality. It was enjoyable. The hotel in general is worth staying at for its excellent position on the Leas - great staff, great views, quiet, great walks yet very close to the refurbished harbour arm that IS Folkestone!

Easy access from the station to the hotel. Barely 5-10 minutes. Very pleasant and helpful reception and restaurant staff. Beautiful view of the English Channel from my window. Lovely walk track along the Leas just a few steps from the hotel. The hotel has accessibility options for wheelchair users and a lift. The room was clean and warm with a clean bathroom and walk-in shower. The room had the basic amenities of tea/coffee maker, small cupboard safe, complimentary biscuits, bathroom shampoo and wash lotion. The TV had many standard channels - good options for watching. The internet was good too. I loved the placement of the old type of telephone in the room with the pull-out tray for the address book. Although the circular dial had push buttons in it, it provided a rustic touch which I liked. The hotel has a good selection of breakfast to suit most tastes. A 15 minute walk along the Leas bring one into city centre where there is a good selection of restaurants.

Excellent location. Lovely large rooms. Staff were very helpful and efficient. Good food served in light and bright surroundings. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.
