BANQUE HOTEL - Folkestone

Great location to the train station. Cab is a fiver and you can walk to the Dover castle in about 30 minutes--we chose the downhill and a cab up to the castle Leave yourself time as we were not expecting all of the WWII history and would love to go back to learn more about the Castle. The View from our room was the Channel and the hotel is quite a little gem. The Staff was very helpful and made us feel at home.

No complaints,breakfast was excellent

Very typical, better than average British hotel. I took my mother for a couple of days and we each had a single room. The single rooms are probably not typical of the main double rooms, so I can't comment on the bigger rooms. The single rooms were very tiny, as my mother described "children's rooms". Very, very basic, with tiny bed and hardly room to turn around, bathroom with shower the same. Also I guess single rooms are the worst as they face the street which was somewhat noisy late at night and drafty (no double glazing). But overall it was clean and the staff very nice. Included breakfast is good as mentioned by everyone, and you don't have to stick to the menu, they will make whatever you want. The food in the bar is just that, bar food, rather oily roasted veg and soggy fries, nothing to right home about. (Go up the road to Cafe 54 for really good food). Bar staff very nice, let me sample beer before buying! Broadstairs in the winter is pretty dead, Dickens museum and Bleak House both closed, so 2 nights was plenty long enough, but it made a nice break for walks on the sandy deserted sandy beach.
