I had a lovely stay at The View Hotel, enjoying the beautiful seaside location. The room was spacious and very comfortable, offering stunning views. However, the dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag with slow service during our meal, which was a challenge with children. Overall, a great spot, but some improvements are needed.

My stay at The View Hotel was pleasant overall, with beautiful views and comfortable accommodations. However, I did experience some issues with parking and dining options that I found a bit disappointing. While the hotel itself was lovely and the staff incredibly friendly, I felt the restaurant prices were quite high. A bit of a mixed bag, but I would recommend the hotel for its charm and location.

I had a great stay at The View Hotel Folkestone overall, especially loved the stunning sea views and the warm service from the staff. The room was spacious and comfortable, but it did get quite warm at times. The breakfast was fantastic, but they might need to keep an eye on food supplies. It's a lovely spot to escape to, with some minor quirks that didn't really overshadow my experience.

My room was huge, with a king-sized bed that felt comfortable and luxurious. I loved the view over the sea and cliffs. However, it was stifling hot at times, which made sleeping a bit challenging.

I enjoyed my stay at The View Hotel Folkestone, particularly for its spacious and clean rooms with stunning sea views. The helpful staff made a positive impression, and the breakfast offered a nice variety. However, the parking situation wasn’t ideal as I had to hunt for a spot on the street. Overall, it provided good value for money, especially as a stop before crossing to France.

I had a pleasant stay at The View Hotel Folkestone. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, providing a lovely view of the sea. However, the hotel lacks dedicated parking, which could be a hassle, especially during busy seasons. I was also disappointed that the advertised 24/7 room service doesn't actually offer food after 9 PM. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with some room for improvement.
