Grand Burstin Hotel, looking not unlike a majestic ocean liner, towers over Folkestone's attractive harbour. Ideally located for either relaxing or exploring the many nearby attractions including the adjacent Rotunda Amusement Park the hotel offers comfortable accommodation, good traditional food and fabulous nightly entertainment which is comprised of live bands and fully costumed cabaret shows.

My wife and I decided to book somewhere close to the sea, with connections to France and with a hotel group we knew. We have used Britannia Hotels before, the accommodation is usually basic standard with reasonable decor at a budget price comparable... read more

My second visit in 3 months to this hotel. The decor is a bit poor with wood-chip walls and what seems to be original furnishings. However, the rooms are clean and the maid calls daily!

The food is of a good standard and you can eat as... read more

Very dated hotel which needs a major overhaul.

Our room looked like it had not been touched in years. Dreadful cheap looking furniture, gaudy bedding and wood chip wallpaper!

When we arrived, the receptionist was waiting outside the coach to give us all our room keys so there was no queuing at reception. We got to our room on the 1st floor and were quite dis-satisfied. We had no shower and the room was extremely basic and... read more

I have never stayed somewhere so dirty, the rooms were run down, the indoor pool has scum floating in it and the bar areas were very smoky. We booked the hotel for one night before going to France for our holiday, we have to admit that we paid only... read more
