Stayed for 3 nights in this hotel. It was a nice hotel but the rooms and general hotel spaces were extremely hot. There was a towel rack which is heated in the bathroom which stays on continuously without any choice of turning this off. We had very warm weather and had to endure that heating, it was comparable to a sauna. We closed the bathroom door but the bedroom was still like an oven, we used air conditioning continuously during the whole stay. If it was like this for a few days of 25degrees plus in April, I can’t imagine what summer would be like! The bar had extortionate prices. I can appreciate the location causes you to charge more but £12 for two glasses of coke is OUTRAGEOUS. Overall- we had a nice break, but I would not return. Rooms/building far too hot. Bar, food and stay rates far too expensive. Not sure this place lives up to its rating.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The initial room we were allocated stank of smoke. We bought this to their attention immediately and were escorted back to the room by the reception manager who agreed it smelt of something but not smoke! She said they were very strict on no smoking rules and guests would be fined £250. We were then allocated another room which was tiny in comparison and very dated but didn’t feel there was an alternative option as hotel was busy. Pillows were completely flat and duvet very thin, had to call reception to bring 2 more pillows. Communal areas of hotel felt tired and dated. Overall it served a purpose but wouldn’t choose to return

The outside of the hotel was gorgeous, I even got confused if we were in the right place 😂. But the inside was wonderful, reminded me of the Titanic. The hotel has an indoor pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi and a gym. The double room we got was spacious and we loved the toilet. And the staff was really helpful.

Although the room was adequate , for me disappointing for the sum l paid , which was £225 a night . Although yes, there was a sea view , but totally spoilt ,by the dirty rooftops. Additionally we found the shower scalding hot and very difficult to adjust to a sensible temperature.

Absolutely loved the hotel experience & massage treatment. We could not fault it. Hotel staff were polite, professional & helpful. The one & only thing that was disappointing was the neglected condition of the swimming pool & jacuzzi facilities. Unfortunately the standards of this let down the high standards of the hotel & massage therapy facilities. Would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone & would stay again.

I felt the property looked very tired and dated. The pool area and jacuzzi were very tatty. The room was nice but there was an old sock in the wardrobe which if cleaned properly someone would have seen it. The bathroom was amazing. Staff were lovely all over the hotel and we were very pleased with the extra vegan options offered for our meal and the birthday treat for my daughter after dinner. That was a lovely touch.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and room was nice and big with a very comfy bed and pillows. Hotel is in a great spot - right in the beach, a 10 minute walk into the lovely Hythe village and only a 10 minute drive into Folkestone. Breakfast options were pretty limited but what was provide was very nice. Our only negative would be in the spa and pool area. The treatment rooms are very noisy so not relaxing at all as you can clearly hear other people taking and even the water running in other rooms. The pool and facilities are in need of an upgrade - the sauna is pretty small 4 people felt like a squeeze.
