Just spent 3 nights in this hotel on a bus trip. As the hotel seems mainly to cater for bus holidays it is occupied for seven days a week all year. The outside of the hotel ahs seen better days and could do with some paint. The bars and the lounges are not bad but they do get crowded. The... More

I stayed at the Grand Burstin with my friend as part of mystery coach trip. We both liked the hotel's location close to Folkestone harbour and beach - handy for refreshing walks. Our room had a lovely view, comfy bed and plenty of hot water. A family of friendly visiting seagulls nearby included one young seagull who did an impressive... More

We stayed here in this very large hotel for 2 nights in April, as a try-out for future visits. We were not dissapointed by the value and quality offered by the room and the fantastic breakfast. When booking I chose to upgrade to a premier room with balcony, the room far exceeded our expectations with a huge terrace gained by... More

Having read some of the reviews was expecting the worse. It is in need of updating but the room was clean, bed linen spotless and we got clean towels everyday, The Haven resteraunt gets very crowded and due to the high volume of guests dining is not a leisurely expeirence.The food itself is fine and you get a reasonable choice...

Lets face it, you get what you pay for in life - and the Grand Bursting is no different. It's a budget price hotel so you get budget price rooms, facilities and service. We booked in advance and got BB&EM for just £45 for two of us - pretty amazing these days so i am reluctant to criticise in many... More

This Hotel has seen better days, and needs money spent on it to redecorated. However if you need a cheap room with buffet breakfast for a night when visiting the area (we visited Dover, Deal & Walmer Castles) or a trip over to France, it could fit the bill. Our room was ok, hot water all day, bath & shower,... More

Stayed over the bank holiday for 3 nights with National Holidays. We did our homework prior to our visit so had a good idea as to what to expect BUT going by some of the very bad reviews after we booked I was in two minds that we had done the right thing. Although I can see were some of... More

this hotel was used by national holidays for its trip folkestone and brugges. I cannot express how horrendous this hotel is, it is dirty. The staff are rude and offensive. We were originally allocated room 650, we do not smoke but when we went in it smelt strongly of smoke we were moved to 543 a supposedly premier room, the... More

We spent a long weekend here at the end of April and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves again.We had been earlier in the year and hope it would be as good and happily found it so. Although the restaurant isn't very elegant, the food makes up for it. There are so many choices on each course and the food is piping hot.... More
