Great staff and welcome. Seems to be going through a renovation. Very warm room with no air con but it is an old building with limited options.

We have stayed at the Portland for a few years now, among other places in Folkestone. The rooms are a good size and have a good feel to them. The staff are very accommodating but their adjoining (Skuba bar), seemingly takes presidency over all else! Although they host a good selection of bands and DJ’s etc. it does get very busy, Loud and out of control at times!
Very friendly and efficient welcome. Nice, comfortable room.

Hotel was conveniently located for what we wanted, however shower was damaged and rusty in areas with pubes in the shower tray , damp patch on the bedroom wall
Easy access, clean tidy room, good shower, good location for travel to Dover, very nice walking spot, only thing stopping a max rating is no food on the Monday night
Check-in was not in the hotel, but in the adjoining bar. I had to wait while customers of the bar were served drinks, but once I got someone’s attention, the correct member of staff was called and he was very helpful, giving information about parking and even offering to carry my bag up to the third floor. In the room everything was set up to make the stay enjoyable, with tea and coffee making facilities and even a biscuit. Towels and complimentary shampoo and shower gel were laid out on the bed, even with a little chocolate - a very nice touch.
Unfortunately no hotel can guarantee good and considerate behaviour from all their guests. So I was woken up at 1 am by other guests having a falling out and shouting swear words at each other.
I stayed for one night to save the worry about getting to the Channel Tunnel on time and have a good night’s sleep before continuing the journey on the continent. The first was achieved, the second not so much, but not really the fault of the hotel.
This is a budget hotel that we used for one-night stays on our way to & returning from France. No frilss but clean and functional with very helpful and friendly staff. We will use it again.
Rooms mixed up and then never got the actual room we booked. Lovely young man on reception was so apologetic and gave us a round of drinks to apologise.
The bathroom was absolutely freezing. Bed comfy but creaky and actual bedroom toasty however, the noise was awful and we struggled to sleep as could hear every single movement from room above and other rooms plus outside (bin men arrived at 0517 hours)
Such a shame as the communication with hotel was excellent and they happily moved our dates due to covid.
We booked two rooms as were coming down with friends and they had a standard room and we booked a superior room and were promised we would get the room we booked.
Shame my email was replied to after we returned.
The bar was lovely and young man running it on the night tried his best
Covid, lockdown, difficult times for all. The service I got was good I requested a downstairs room if possible which I was given due to cancellation. I couldn`t fault the hotel or the staff, I stayed for a short night only, due to commitments.
