Overnight stay due to seeing a show at the Leas Cliff Theatre which is literally right next door. Parking was easy in the Council spaces opposite the Hotel £5 for 24hrs from 12 midday on arrival (ask at reception). The Hotel has changed hands in the last few weeks (Voc) and we were pleasantly surprised at the interior and quality of furnishings/ Decoration and our room (404)was lovely, quiet with a panoramic Sea View, clean with quality bedding, comfy bed , walk in shower and an individual feel. Accessed by a small lift which was fine once you get used to it ! All the staff were friendly and welcoming, the bar had a relaxed feel and we did have good quality Bar snacks and drinks. Breakfast was above average with plenty of choice and good coffee. Would highly recommend and will return .

Nice hotel
This was an anniversary trip. The Hotel has changed names so we had trouble in finding it and is also currently being renovated so had to juggle with builders/decorators around the hotel. Our room was on top floor (4th) one tiny lift, on that floor the corridors are narrow. Room was newly decorated as was the bathroom. We found the bed to be a small double. The room did have a mini fridge. The restaurant for us was good food and breakfast was help yourself buffet. We came by car and as the hotel doesn’t have its own car park we paid £10 for our 2 day’s stay for permit parking on the street, which couldn’t be guaranteed you’d get a place again if you returned from going out for the day. Once all the renovations are finished it’ll be a lovely hotel, the only thing that’ll stop us returning is the car parking

Beautifully refurbished hotel, now called VOCO. Staff so helpful and friendly. Hotel ideally placed for an easy walk along the cliff promenade or a short walk down to the harbour. Excellent restaurant in the hotel for evening meal and breakfast, others available within 10 minute walk. A good base to explore Dover and the other Cinque Ports. Would definitely stay again.
