We stayed at the Burlington for a weekend break to see family and it was lovely. The hotel is beautiful on the outside & beautiful on the inside; truly full of character. We got a cheap rate for the room and for the price we were very pleased. Had we have paid more I would have expected less wear &... More

Stayed at this hotel in the middle of October as a cheap getaway, booked ahead you can find a room really cheap. The rooms seem to be half way there with the refurbishment, but little things like drawers being half-painted really seemed to let it down. The staff were friendly, they explained everything well and I couldn't of asked for... More

Check was efficient and the counter staff were polite. Reception area and the bar have a certain faded charm. Returning back from our evening, we were informed the bar closed at 11! Practically unheard of in a hotel of this size. The night porter, however will gladly make you a drink at any time, nice, but its not the same.... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. I am sorry you did not stay at the Burlington due to the higher room rate on this occasion. As you mentioned, you enjoyed a very good rate on your last stay because you booked in advance and this was during a quiet period. Like all hotels, our rates fluctuate depending on the... More

We have a travel offers card which gives free accomodation and you only have to pay for meals so... More

Stayed at The Burlington on the way to Germany and on the way back. On way out checked in, went over to the lift aiming for the third floor, after many attempts to get the lift to go, the 3 button just would not work so we ended up going to the second floor and then struggling up the last... More

The Burlington has a real character to it. It is in a nice location. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was a little 'antiquated' but that is part of the charm - absolutely nothing wrong with that! We chose The Burlington because I and my wife wanted to stay somewhere in Folkestone with my parents but in... More

We stayed for one night before our trip on Euro tunnel to france and cannot fault the staff or the food in the restaurant which was lovely and tasty. Unfortunately the room was small and the shower room tiny, everything was clean and tidy and perhaps we should have asked for a larger room. We were kept awake by the... More

For us a perfect location, quiet area no noisy traffic just the sound of the sea. A nice leisurely walk to the busier part of Folkestone, and a good location for visiting other places in Kent. We had a lovely sea view in a comfortable room. Plus plenty of parking. We just had breakfast which was good, the only negative... More
