A pleasant stay with a beautiful sea view
Overall, everything was satisfactory. However, during check-in, the staff initially mistook our reservation as being for four people and without breakfast. After climbing the narrow stairs to the top floor, we realised that the room provided had beds for only four guests.
The staff rechecked the booking and then gave us the correct room for five people, with breakfast included. Although the mix-up and changing rooms were inconvenient, the issue was resolved. Our room had a beautiful view of the esplanade and the sea, which we greatly appreciated. The breakfast was also enjoyable, and the rest of our stay was pleasant.
I had a really enjoyable stay at the Carlton Hotel in Folkestone. The hotel is in a great location, making it easy to explore the town and the seafront, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay.
The room was comfortable, clean and had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel has a traditional feel, which gives it plenty of character, and overall I found it to be good value for money.
Check-in and check-out were straightforward, and the whole stay was hassle-free. I’d happily stay at the Carlton again if I’m back in Folkestone and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location.
Very practical hotel especially if you travel early in the morning to the shuttle.
Parking was quite packed but it is big.
A restaurant / pub available just nearby, useful to get a breakfast or a late evening dinner.
