You pay for what you get in this life and I have to say, I would never stay here ever again. The room was dated, small, hot and tatty and noisy in the evening - the walls are very thin as are the floors above and below. If you do decide to stay here, then avoid rooms at the front... more

The first room I was offered I quickly rejected as it was small, shabby and looked totally uncared for. The second room that was offered at lest had been given a lick of paint, which is the nicest thing I can say about it! The bed was so hard and uneven that it made a good night's sleep impossible. The... more

Booked a four night Christmas Break for six, one upgraded room and two standard. On arrival at the hotel we checked in at reception and was greated by a very friendly hotel manager. Our rooms were all spotlessly clean and presentable although the standard rooms were a little small, the upgraded room was worth every penny, large bright with a... more

We had the four poster room which was a good size, clean and quiet. We were pleased with the overall cleaniness of the hotel, the helpfullness of the staff and the location next to the Leas. more

We stayed at the Burlington for one night in a standard double room as part of a short break. The building itself is a very attractive, grand old seaside hotel and the ground floor and public areas are impressive. Our room, however, gave a different impression. Situated on the top floor (3rd) at the back of the hotel it was... more

We stayed at this hotel as a family member used it for their wedding. The hotel itself is quite old and showing it's age. We booked a family room and where given a large room with 1 set of twin beds and 2 single beds. The room was clean and tidy but the decor and furniture was extremely dated and... more

Lovely old building in a convenient location. We had a comfortable room with a good size bathroom (first floor) and paid £79 per night bed & breakfast for two. Weather was dire over Easter so we were glad the hotel was well heated. All the staff were nice and the food was very good (we ate in the bar every... more

My husband and I along with our two boys (10 & 13) stayed here after a very long journey from Scotland on our way to Disneyland Paris. The staff were very welcoming no matter what time you arrived at, on our return journey from France we arrived at 11pm and the staff were just as cheerful as they had been... more

Given some of the dire reviews for other hotels in Folkestone, this seemed a reasonable option for a one-night stay - which it was. The public areas looked very impressive in a slightly faded Edwardian grandeur kind of way. This style really fits in with its location on the clifftop. It's a very pleasant 5-10 minute seaside walk to the... more
